A severe asthma exacerbation is called status asthmaticus when symptoms worsen despite conventional medical treatment in the hospital. If arterial blood gas (ABG) values deteriorate and this is accompanied by respiratory muscle fatigue, the patient will require mechanical ventilation. However, mechanical ventilation of the severe asthmatic presents...

We evaluated a behavioral intervention for urban adolescents with asthma in three randomized trials conducted separately in three different settings over the course of 8 years. We hypothesized that characteristics of trial participants recruited from the ED and ...

Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory disease of childhood, but there are no useful and easily accessible laboratory tests routinely used in the diagnosis and follow-up of this disease in children. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the roles of white blood cell (WBC) count, platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), and eosinophi...

To evaluate the diagnostic value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) for differentiating cough variant asthma (CVA) from chronic cough in patients with or without allergic rhinitis. In total, 328 patients with chronic cough who underwent spirometry and FeNO testing were consecutively included in the retr...

We previously reported that children exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) that carried variants in the NAT1 gene had over two-fold higher hair cotinine levels. Our objective was to determine if NAT1 polymorphisms confer increased risk for developing asthma in children exposed to SHS. White participants in the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollu...
