Reduced carotid atherosclerosis in asthmatic patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids.
Although inflammation is an important component of atherosclerosis, it is unknown whether inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as anti-inflammatory drugs prevent atherosclerosis. In the present study, carotid atherosclerosis was evaluated by ultrasonography in 150 asthmatic patients who had been regularly treated with ICS, and in 150 matched nonasthmatic controls, with an assessment of atherosclerotic...
متن کاملFungal endophthalmitis developing in asthmatic individuals treated with inhaled corticosteroids.

In the tracheobronchial (airway) vasculature, these include the inhibition of inflammatory hyperperfusion, microvascular hyperpermeability, mucosal oedema formation, and the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Corticosteroids are now known to exert their effects on the airwa...
متن کاملBone mineral density in asthmatic patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids: a case-control study.
Recent studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids can adversely affect bone metabolism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the importance of these adverse effects in a case-control study. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in 48 asthmatic adults (15 males and 33 females) treated with inhaled steroids (beclomethasone or budesonide) and in 48 gender and age-matched healthy subject...
