Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Asthma Control in Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study at a Pediatric Hospital in Marrakech (Morroco)Maryem Labyad, Karima El Fakiri, Abdelmounaim Baslam et al.Effective management of childhood asthma relies on regular and objective assessments to ensure optimal control. However, the implementation of containment measures during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the postponement of pediatric consultations, posing significant challenges for children with asthma. This study aimed to evaluate asthma control among children attending pediatric consultations at the mother-child hospital in Marrakech during the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jun 2024 · 4,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of SLC22A4 Gene Polymorphisms in the Response to Salbutamol in Asthmatic PatientsAlshymaa A. Ahmed, Nora M. Said, Alia A. El Shahaway, Nagwan A. IsmailResponse to Bronchodilators is influenced by many factors including genetics. To evaluate the influence of SLC22A4 gene polymorphisms (rs3792876 and rs2073838) on the response to inhaled salbutamol in asthmatic patients, bronchodilator response was assessed in 180 bronchial asthma patients via measuring changes of the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after the administration of inhaled salbutamol and genotyping for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2019 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence of Asthma Bronchiale in the Czech Republic and its Economic BurdenRichter Josef, Kral Vlastimil, Rajnohova Dobiasova Lucie et al.Asthma Bronchiale (AB) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways currently affecting around 350,000,000 patients in the world. A steady increase in prevalence of this disease was the incentive for our study of the prevalence of AB in the Czech Republic. Special attention was focused on possible differential regional incidence. We found that prevalence of this disease in an … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2016 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Short Term in vitro Stress Hormone Exposure on Regulatory T Cell Number and Function in AsthmaKristina E. Rehm, Gailen D. Marshall, Jr.Asthma is characterized by alterations in the immune system, including regulatory T cells (Treg). Further alterations in Treg numbers and/or function caused by stress hormones may be a contributing factor in asthma pathogenesis. We compared Treg populations and the effects of Dexamethasone (DEX, a laboratory analog of cortisol) on Treg cell number and function in patients with asthma and a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2015 · 6,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLEUKOTRIENE C4 SYNTHASE AND LEUKOTRIENE RECEPTOR-1 GENES POLYMORPHISM AMONG ATOPIC ASTHMATIC PATIENTSHeba M. Kadry, Amal H. Atta, Mostafa K. Sultan, Nagwa A. El-BazAsthma is a complex polygenic disease in which Cysteinyl Leukotrienes (Cys-LTs) are a potential risk factors causing airway inflammation and remodeling, which are characteristics of asthma. The polymorphisms in the leukotriene C4 synthase -444A/C and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor1 927 T/C genes has been implicated in susceptibility to asthma. The objective of this study was to analyse two different polymorphisms, LTC4S-444 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2014 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
