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 ...
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 ...
To learn more about the NObreath® utilising partitioning method, please visit https://www.nobreathfeno.com/measuring-feno-with-the-nobreath/ FeNO testing The use of FeNO testing, combined with a comprehensive clinical history and additional examinations, enhances the efficiency of asthma diagnosis and improves patient care. This allows for effective monitoring of ...
FeNO Testing in Asthma Care Although airway eosinophilic inflammation is a key characteristic of asthma, there are few methods available to measure it. ...
Re-evaluation of diagnosis in adults with physician-diagnosed asthma. JAMA 2017;317:269-279 4. British Thoracic Society (2019)Guidelines for the management of asthma. ...
Combined, allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma affect up to 800 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). ...

This underlines the significance of T-cell and B-cell signaling pathways and associated cytokines in RA treatment and drug development. Cytokines in Asthma Asthma, a common chronic condition, is characterized by airway constriction and persistent airway inflammation involving eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, and mast cells. ...
This is surprising because IL-17E has been regarded as a cytokine operating in Th2 immune responses for a long time. Allergic asthma animal models show that inhibiting IL-17E with neutralizing antibodies significantly reduces bronchial hyperresponsiveness, serum IgE concentrations, and histological features in inflammatory responses. ...
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. ...

Once the proof of concept has been achieved for type I diabetes, we expect that sublingual IL-2 can be further developed for a range of other autoimmune/allergic disorders, all of which are likely to benefit from restoring the balance between regulatory and effector T cell. These diseases include: Asthma Psoriasis Lupus Rheumatoid arthritis Multiple sclerosis ...
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. The lab uses both freshly isolated cells, as well as tissue and cell culture models of gene-environment interactions to ...
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 ...
