Abstract

Six asthmatic patients whose airway obstruction improved significantly during a trial of prednisone have been studied in detail. Serial measurements of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were made at specific times each day before and after isoprenaline, for 8 days. Peak response was at 5 minutes in the majority of tests. In contrast to previous studies no clear pattern of response emerged in relation either to type of asthma, length of history or initial FEV1.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
