Sputum induction in corticosteroid-dependant asthmatics: risks and airway cellular profile.
Sputum induction with nebulized hypertonic saline is increasingly being used to evaluate airway inflammation. We investigated the procedure-associated risk in 16 asthmatics that were still symptomatic despite on high doses of regular corticosteroid (CS) therapy (7 on daily inhaled CS > or = 800 microg budesonide or equivalent; 9 on additional daily oral CS) and their sputum cellular profile. Fo...
متن کاملCOPD: 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 کاملOral corticosteroid prescribing in women over 50, use of fracture prevention therapy, and bone densitometry service.
OBJECTIVE To identify the most common diseases and age of corticosteroid use in women over 50, dosage in last year, duration of oral corticosteroid use, prescription for fracture prevention (drug used), and referrals for bone densitometry. METHODS General practice records from 41 practices in Shropshire identified 62,230 women aged >50 from a population of 80,082. Data on fractures, duration ...
متن کاملCorticosteroid-induced bone loss in men.
Lack of consistent information concerning the pathophysiology of corticosteroid-related bone loss may be due to coexisting independent factors that influence bone mineral density (BMD). For example, the disease being treated may increase bone turnover and cause bone loss, and its severity may influence the dose of corticosteroids chosen. Similarly, disease remission due to the treatment or dise...
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...
