Abstract Aims: To investigate the effect of Myrtenol, the active ingredient of Myrtle, on the oxidant and anti-oxidant indices and cytokines in the allergic asthma. Methods: Allergic asthma was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and inhalation in four groups of rats; Control, Asthma, Asthma+Dexamethasone and Asthma+Myrtenol. Myrtenol (50mg/kg) or Dexamethasone (2.5mg/kg) was a...

BACKGROUND Patients with allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma demonstrate comparable local and systemic eosinophil inflammation, and yet they present with different clinical pictures. Less is even known about the contribution of neutrophil inflammation in allergic diseases. The aim of the study was to examine the propensity and selectivity of granule release from primed systemic eosinophils an...

Allergic rhinitis is a predisposing factor for developing clinical asthma. Moreover, allergic rhinitis is often associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). We hypothesise that patients with asthma have more small airway involvement than those with allergic rhinitis and BHR alone. The aim of this study was to assess peripheral and proximal NO concentration in rhinitic subjects, and to c...

Background: Asthma is one of the most common persistent inflammatory respiratory disorders. Comorbidities are relatively common in asthma. The aim of this review study was to find comorbid disorders in children with asthma. Methods: For the purpose of this review, we searched databases including Scopus, Google scholar, PubMed, SID, Irandoc and up-to-date. Key words for the search included chil...

allergen immunotherapy involves the administration of gradually increasing quantities of specific allergens to patients with ige-mediated conditions until a dose is reached that is effective in reducing disease severity from natural exposure. in the present study we evaluated a period of six years immunotherapy allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma patients with positive skin prick test of comm...

Background: Because of geographic variation and regional types of allergens, it is recommended that allergists identify common allergens in their area of activity. In the present study, the prevalence of respiratory allergens in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis was investigated. Methods: This study is descriptive and retrospective. The required data of this study were extracted from ...

Background Often preceded by early-life wheezing, asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood. In view of the emerging microflora hypothesis of allergic disease, probiotics have been proposed for the prevention and treatment of allergic disorders including asthma, but clinical studies have yielded conflicting results. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized c...

273 http://e-aair.org The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in the general population is increasing and currently estimated to be approximately 10-25%. Although AR is not associated with a risk of death, the disorder can have a considerable effect on a patient’s quality of life. Consideration of comorbid diseases, including asthma, nasal polyp, olfactory dysfunction and chronic rhinosinusiti...

Allergic diseases, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and food allergy, are preventable diseases. Primary prevention strategies of allergic diseases have been in scrutiny. Effective prevention strategies maybe started prenatally, postnatally, during infancy, and even during childhood. These guidelines have been prepared by the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and the...

Objective(s): Allergic Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that is characterized by increased infiltration of leukocytes into the airways, limiting the respiratory function. Studies suggest that a defective general regulatory system against inflammation could be a significant factor in allergic asthma. It has been shown that Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a cellular immunosuppres...
