Comparison of Drugs for Asthma

چکیده
aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) and alkaline phosphatase in 16 adults with serum salicyclate greater than 35 mg/100 ml as a result of single-dose self-poisoning. In only one patient was the SGOT minimally increased to 44 units. This was an apparently healthy 24-year-old man with a serum salicyclate of 80 mg/100 ml four and a half hours after taking aspirin tablets; his alkaline phosphatase was normal. A 60-year-old man with a serum salicyclate of 131 mg/100 ml eight hours after ingestion was the only patient with a raised alkaline phosphatase (16 King-Armstrong units); his SGOT was normal These findings tend to support the implied conclusion of Dr. Russell and colleagues that, age apart, increases in these enzymes in serum are probably related to prolonged administration of salicylates.-I am, etc., M.

متن کاملSuppression of severe airway inflammation with non-toxic dietary nutrients in histamine-challenged guinea pigs: A comparison with Ibuprofen
We hypothesize that selected combinations of nutrients commonly encountered in the human diet, suppress asthma-associated airway inflammation more effectively than currently available anti-inflammatory medications. Here we demonstrate that biflavones and terpenes, distributed widely in human diet (in this case derived from Ginkgo biloba) synergize with the carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin and...
