Background. The author examined psychiatrically a group of 106 patients with difficult asthma and 100 patients with aspirin-induced asthma. The special interest of the study were the links between defence mechanisms used by women and men from both groups and severity of their panic symptoms. Methods. 106 consecutive adults with confirmed, physician-diagnosed difficult asthma and 100 patients wi...

AIM The author examined psychiatrically a group of 106 patients with difficult asthma and 100 patients with aspirin-induced asthma. The special interest of the study were links between defence mechanisms used by women and men from both groups and severity of their panic and depressive symptoms. METHODS 106 consecutive adults with confirmed, physician-diagnosed difficult asthma and 100 patient...

Basal resistance involves a multitude of pathogen- and herbivore-inducible defence mechanisms, ranging from localized callose deposition to systemic defence gene induction by salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). In this study, we have explored and dissected genetic variation in the responsiveness of basal defence mechanisms within a selection of Arabidopsis accessions. Responsiveness of ...
