Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has become a standard of care for patients with exacerbation of COPD and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Studies have also sought to determine the effectiveness of NIV in exacerbation of asthma. Studies have investigated radioaerosol particle distribution to help explain the effects of NIV in normals and in those with asthma. In addition, NIV has been combined with ne...

BACKGROUND Viral respiratory infections are associated with nearly 80% of asthma exacerbation episodes. These can have severe adverse outcomes in patients with established asthma. AIM The aim of the study was to identify the viral causes of acute respiratory infection that precipitate acute asthma exacerbation in Egyptian asthmatic children.

There are few alternatives to glucocorticosteroids for treatment of asthma. We assessed the activity of a novel protein drug designated ISU201, the extracellular domain of the human cell surface protein BST2, stabilised by fusion with the Fc region of IgG, in mouse models of mild chronic asthma and an acute exacerbation of asthma. The ability of ISU201 to suppress airway inflammation and remode...
