Assessing the performance of the HAS-BLED score: is the C statistic sufficient?
We thank Dr Vos and colleagues for providing important additional studies that support the use of long-term azithromycin therapy to treat and, possibly, prevent posttransplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). These studies should have been included in our review of chronic macrolide therapy in infl ammatory airways disease 1 but were not available at the time of submission. Their recent...
متن کاملThe Effect of Azithromycin in Adults with Stable Neutrophilic COPD: A Double Blind Randomised, Placebo Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive airway disease characterised by neutrophilic airway inflammation or bronchitis. Neutrophilic bronchitis is associated with both bacterial colonisation and lung function decline and is common in exacerbations of COPD. Despite current available therapies to control inflammation, neutrophilic bronchitis remains common. This s...
متن کاملCombined Haemophilus influenzae respiratory infection and allergic airways disease drives chronic infection and features of neutrophilic asthma.
BACKGROUND 20-30% of patients with asthma have neutrophilic airway inflammation and reduced responsiveness to steroid therapy. They often have chronic airway bacterial colonisation and Haemophilus influenzae is one of the most commonly isolated bacteria. The relationship between chronic airway colonisation and the development of steroid-resistant neutrophilic asthma is unclear. OBJECTIVES To ...
متن کاملSputum PGP is reduced by azithromycin treatment in patients with COPD and correlates with exacerbations
RATIONALE Proline-glycine-proline (PGP), a neutrophil chemoattractant derived from the enzymatic breakdown of collagen, is elevated in sputum of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may contribute to disease progression. Whether sputum levels of PGP respond to therapy for COPD or predict outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVES We conducted a study ancillary to a multicenter ...
متن کاملThe Position of Myth in Frazer’s Anthropological Theory
George James Frazer (1854-1941), the spiritual father of myth-ritual school, was bred up in the British tradition of empiricism. Believing in the evolutionary process of culture, Frazer mainly focused his attention on explaining such epistemic forms of thought as magic, religion and science. Accordingly, while interpreting the processes through which magic leads to religion and finally evolves ...
