چکیده
The sick building syndrome is well known among office workers and is becoming more recognised among health workers.' It is therefore important to be able to give correct advice when faced with this problem. This study provides evidence that negative ion generators are not to be recommended for this problem, especially as the data on temperature and humidity provided a good "internal control" that real effects were being measured.

متن کاملA double-blind placebo-controlled study of the effect of influenza vaccination on airway responsiveness in asthma.
Influenza A infection may cause severe exacerbations of asthma with increased airway responsiveness and airflow obstruction (1). Annual vaccination against influenza is therefore recommended for patients with asthma by the Chief Medical Officer of the Department of Health. However, some patients report exacerbations of their asthma, apparently related to influenza vaccination, and there is relu...
متن کاملOverlap Syndrome in Respiratory Medicine: Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by similar mechanisms: airway inflammation, airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, the distinction between the two obstructive diseases is not always clear. Multiple epidemiological studies demonstrate that in elderly people with o...
متن کاملEffect of influenza vaccinations on immune response and serum eotaxin level in patients with allergic bronchial asthma.
BACKGROUND One of the most promising markers of allergic inflammation is eotaxin, which has a selective influence on the migration of eosinophils. Its serum content significantly correlates with the intensity of allergic symptoms, so it might be interesting to know whether vaccination has any influence on serum expression of this chemokine. AIMS Comparison of the humoral response to influenza...
