Beta-agonists and asthma research: an international consultation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The McGill Pharmacoepidemiology Programme invited academics from around the globe to Sarasota, Florida, in order to discuss recent research on betaagonist bronchodilators in the treatment of asthma. The purpose of the meeting was the development of a research agenda to deal with unanswered questions in the medium and long term. The meeting was sponsored by AB Astra, Boehringer lngelheim GmbH, Fisons Pharmaceuticals (Canada), and Glaxo Group Research. The opinions and recommendations expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessariJy reflect a consensus of all the conference participants

A Pilot Study of Polymorphism of Adrenergic Beta-2 Receptor and Mild Asthma: A Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Study
Glycine allele at codon 16 has previously been associated with the increase in asthma severity, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and also the increase in inhaled corticosteroid dependence. This study was designed to evaluate the genetic alleles in mild asthma.Thirty-four patients with diagnosis of mild asthma (FEV1 ≥ 80%, positive methacholine test) and body mass index (BMI ≤ 30 Kg/m2) were includ...

Different beta 1 and 2 adrenergic receptor agonists may be various biological and physiological effects on fish species. An experiment was designed to study the effects of feeding ractopamine, terbutaline and metaproterenol; as beta1, beta2 and less selective beta 2 adrenergic receptor agonists, respectively; on body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, concentration of biochemical parameters in...
متن کاملEvidence-based asthma management.
In 2002 the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program published evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma, but there are some unresolved asthma-management issues that need further research. For asthmatic children inhaled corticosteroids are more beneficial than as-needed use of beta(2) agonists, long-acting beta(2) agonists, theophylline, cromolyn sodium, nedoc...
