The C57BL/6 mouse strain, commonly referred to as C57, has become a standard in biomedical research due to its well-documented genetic background and immune system. This strain’s response to various stimuli, including allergens, pathogens, and other environmental factors, makes it particularly valuable for studying lung diseases and conditions, such as ...
Filmed with Carol Stonham, the study emphasises the NObreath’s ease of use, making it suitable for both adults and children. It also demonstrates how FeNO testing can transform asthma management, offering more precise insights for personalised care. Ultimately this study illustrates why the NObreath® FeNO device is the product of choice for aiding ...
In November 2024, the British Thoracic Society (BTS), Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), and the National Institute of Care Excellence (NICE) asthma guidelines1 were released superseding the previously separate guidelines from BTS/SIGN2 and NICE3. The new joint guideline, based on current clinical evidence and cost-effective modelling, clears up the previous uncertainty about the ...
What is new? NICE/BTS/SIGN guideline on asthma: diagnosis, monitoring and chronic asthma management Asthma diagnosis (adults): The new NICE/BTS/SIGN guidelines recommend that adults with symptoms and a history suggestive of asthma undergo blood eosinophil count or FeNO testing as initial diagnostic steps. ...
Bedfont® Scientific Limited hosted an informative webinar Children with Asthma, with seasoned respiratory nurse Carol Stonham MBE leading the discussion along with Kirsty at Medway Asthma Self-Help (MASH). The webinar was a private screening for local Medway football coaches and gave valuable insights on managing, treating and recognising an asthma emergency. Carol Stonham MBE, has been a ...
Ms Jonna Nielsen has smoked most of her life – and continues to do so though diagnosed with COPD years ago. The 48-year-old Danish single mother still wants to stop smoking but no longer thinks of herself as a COPD patient, while the severe coughing spells and derived muscle pain have gradually disappeared in the course of six months. The turning point was a visit to the ...
For a long time, the Dane Jonna Nielsen has had problems with both allergies and COPD, but being presented for a Danish- produced air purifier at the hair dresser changed her life. Now she feels like a whole new ...
When the patient completes a breath test using the NObreath® a green tick will appear on the screen to indicate a successful test, and the patient’s results will be shown onscreen in parts per billion (ppb) instantly. ...
FeNO Testing in Asthma Care Although airway eosinophilic inflammation is a key characteristic of asthma, there are few methods available to measure it. ...
Aaron SD, Vandemheem KL, FitzGerald JM, Ainslie M, Gupta S et al.: Canadian Respiratory Research Network. Re-evaluation of diagnosis in adults with physician-diagnosed asthma. ...
Later in age, the allergic reaction might spread to the lungs and cause asthma. immune System Response: Every man or woman’s immune system reacts differently to allergens. ...
Asthma, affecting over 300 million individuals globally, remains a significant health concern with a high mortality rate. Despite advancements in treatment, many patients still struggle with symptom control and recurrent attacks. While inflammation has been the focal point of asthma research, a recent study sheds light on a mechanical aspect that could refine our understanding and treatment of ...
Comprehensive Guide to Building and Maintaining First Aid Kits for Home and Emergency Preparedness Introduction Life is full of challenges, from unexpected injuries to sudden emergencies. Some we can prepare for with caution, while others catch us off guard. In these critical times, a first aid kit becomes our frontline defense against unforeseen crises. But are you really ready? Yes, those ...
In 2021, a monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP was approved for the treatment of severe asthma. TSLP and TSLPR TSLP (Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin) is a member of the four-helix bundle cytokine family and is a distant homolog of IL-7. ...
Summary Heterocyclic compounds with aromatic characteristics are called aromatic heterocyclic compounds, which can be classified into monoaromatic heterocycles and fused heterocycles. The common monoaromatic heterocycles are five-membered Furan, Pyrrole, Thiophene, Pyrazole, Imidazole, Oxazole, etc., and six-membered Pyridine, Pyranone, Pyridazine, Pyrimidine, Triazine, etc. Aromatic ...
The aim of this project is to develop low dose IL-2 for treatment of early onset juvenile Type I diabetes. Low dose injectable IL-2 in animal models has been shown to restore the balance between regulatory and effector T cells and, in this way, can help to reverse autoimmunity and the development of type I diabetes. Looking ahead, we anticipate that having a suitable oral formulation of IL-2 to ...
The research goals of Carole Ober’s laboratory at the University of Chicago are to identify genetic variants that influence gene expression and epigenetic patterns in tissues relevant to complex phenotypes, especially related to asthma and fertility. ...
Good decision-making relies on good information. That’s why data collection is so important to businesses of all types. In healthcare, it can literally be a life-and-death concern. Currently, two data-related trends are delivering new levels of optimization in hospitals with the potential to vastly improve operations and safety: The convergence of information technology (IT) systems ...
