Noninvasive assessment of airway inflammation in asthma
As bronchial asthma is currently considered to be and is defined as being an inflammatory disorder of the airways [1], it seems logical to include an assessment of this inflammation in the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease. In this assessment, a few factors need to be taken into account. Firstly, the inflammation underlying asthma is a complex phenomenon that displays characteristics, not ...

Airway inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of asthma. Accurate assessment of the degree of airway inflammation may allow us to fine-tune the anti-inflammatory treatment. There are many methods of assessing the degree of airway inflammation such as bronchial biopsy and broncho-alveolar lavage. These methods, however, are invasive and can be very difficult to perform in children...

WINNING ABSTRACT: At the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Annual Congress 2006, I received the ERS Annual Award for Pediatric Respiratory Research in Europe for my research work on noninvasive markers of airway inflammation. Most of the studies in which I have been involved were conducted at the University of Padova, Padova, Italy. We have studied asthmatic children, and have demonstrated tha...
متن کاملNoninvasive monitoring of airway inflammation.
What we know: Various techniques are available that purport to measure aspects of airway inflammation non-invasively, including analysis of volatile molecules in exhaled breath and components of breath condensates. Adapting and validating these methods for use in young children and infants poses significant methodological problems, but progress has been made, particularly with regard to measure...
