COPD: an inhaled corticosteroid-resistant, oral corticosteroid-responsive condition.
parking area and inside the Bella Center, with a level of 6.0¡1.7 and 3.0¡0.9 mg?m, respectively. Peak values were 12.5 mg?m and 12.0 mg?m, respectively. However, outside in front of the Bella Center with smokers, mean PM2.5 was 17.8¡7.5 mg?m with a peak of 98.9 mg?m (p,0.03, as compared with inside the venue), which is a step down in AQI. PM2.5 along the motorway was only 4.6¡0.7 mg?m with a p...
متن کاملCorticosteroid receptors in mononuclear leucocytes of obese subjects.
Abnormalities of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and hypersensitivity to corticosteroids have been suggested as major determinants of the development of visceral obesity. Since at the cellular level most effects of corticosteroids are mediated by specific receptors, we evaluated the number of type I and type II corticosteroid receptors in mononuclear leucocytes of 26 obese and 13 contro...
متن کاملInflammation and corticosteroid responsiveness in ex-, current- and never-smoking asthmatics
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that smoking asthmatics benefit less from corticosteroid treatment than never-smoking asthmatics. We investigated differences in blood and sputum inflammatory profiles between ex-, current-, and never-smokers and assessed their ICS treatment response after 2-week and 1-year treatment. METHODS We analyzed FEV1, PC20 methacholine and PC20 AMP, (differential) cel...
متن کاملAirway and lung elastic fibre is not reduced in asthma nor in asthmatics following corticosteroid treatment.
By morphometric investigation of the relative content of elastic and collagen fibres, we have tested the hypothesis that loss of elastic fibres in the conducting airways and lung parenchyma may reduce tissue elastic recoil, resulting in increased airway maximal closure and apparent increased responsiveness. The study groups comprised: Group A (n = 11) with relatively mild atopic asthma using in...
متن کاملInhaled corticosteroid therapy reduces the risk of rehospitalization and all-cause mortality in elderly asthmatics.
Elderly patients with asthma have relatively high rates of hospitalization and mortality. Although inhaled corticosteroids have been shown to improve outcomes among younger patients with asthma, their usefulness in elderly patients has not been established. Therefore, a population-based study of patients 65 yrs of age or older, who have been hospitalized at least once with asthma in Ontario, Ca...
