The School Inner-City Asthma Intervention Study: Design, rationale, methods, and lessons learned
2017, Contemporary Clinical TrialsCitation Excerpt :The allergen extracts to be used are: Timothy grass, Penicillium, German Roach, Oak tree pollen, Dog, Cat, Mouse epithelia, Rat epithelia, Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Aspergillus mix, Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium, Ragweed pollen mix. Skin tests will be performed according to standard procedures[23] Fractional Exhaled NO (FENO) is a known marker of pulmonary inflammation and will provide a non-invasive means of assessing pulmonary inflammation.
Nonallergic Rhinitis: Diagnosis
2016, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Therefore, physical examination is of limited utility in differentiating rhinitis subtypes. Poorly controlled chronic rhinitis can be accompanied by several different comorbidities, which can significantly impact its management and further impair quality of life.24–30 Common associated conditions include acute and chronic sinusitis, tension and migraine headaches, asthma, chronic cough, conjunctivitis, Eustachian tube dysfunction, otitis media with or without effusion, nasal polyps, hearing impairment, nasal dyspnea and obstructive sleep apnea, and other sleep disturbances/related complications resulting in fatigue (Box 4).
Allergic conjunctivitis and the most common allergens in Northern Greece
2013, World Allergy Organization JournalCitation Excerpt :The criteria used were the existence of allergic conjunctivitis alone or with other allergic co- morbidities. The patients then underwent SPTs after consent, as required by the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology and the US Joint Council of Allergy Asthma and Immunology[17–19]. Positive SPTs for any of the 40 used allergens in each patient group were recorded.
