Asthma is a disease characterized by spontaneous contraction of the airways in response to a wide variety of endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Many asthma models are used to mimic the human asthma model in the literature. In order to better understand the role of the cannabinoid (CB) 2 receptor in the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model, a combination of both selective CB2 agonist (AM1241) and...

OBJECTIVES The effects of Curcuma longa (C. longa) and curcumin on total and differential WBC count and oxidant, antioxidant biomarkers, in rat model of asthma were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total and differential WBC count in the blood, NO2, NO3, MDA, SOD, CAT and thiol levels in serum were examined in control, asthma, Asthmatic rats treated with C. longa (0.75, 1.50, and 3.00 mg/ml),...

CONTEXT Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO(2)) and ethanol vapors are air contaminants with increasing importance. The presence of a pathological pulmonary condition, such as asthma, may increase lung susceptibility to such contaminants. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate if exposure to inhaled ethanol vapors or nano-TiO(2) can modulate the rat pulmonary inflammatory response res...

Aim: There is a complex relationship between asthma and psychiatric problems; therefore, it important to investigate this for optimal treatment. In cross-sectional comparative study, was aimed examine the dependent personality trait, depression, anxiety stress levels of asthmatic non-asthmatic individuals.
 Material Method: 382 individuals with (n=172) without (n=210) were included in our ...

in this paper, the method of differentiating asthmatic and non-asthmatic patients using the  frequency analysis of  capnogram  signals is presented.  previously, manual study on capnogram signal has been conducted  by several researchers. all past researches showed significant correlation between capnogram signals and asthmatic patients. however all of them are just manual study conducted throu...
