Objective: This review examines the evidence for psychosocial influences in asthma and
behavioral medicine approaches to its treatment. Method: We conducted a systematic …

Chemical components of air pollutant exposures that induce oxidative stress and
subsequent inflammation may be partly responsible for associations of cardiovascular …

The development of gas sensors based on two-dimensional (2D) layered materials has
received lots of focus attributing to their excellent gas sensitivity. Here, a black phosphorus …

Rationale: Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is increasingly studied as a noninvasive
research method of sampling the lungs, measuring several biomarkers. The exact site of …

We present a portable non-invasive approach for measuring indicators of inflammation and
oxidative stress in the respiratory tract by quantifying a biomarker in exhaled breath …

Pulmonary fibrosis develops in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) types 1 and 4. Limited
information is available about lung disease in HPS type 2 (HPS-2), which is characterized by …

In this work, we studied several important parameters regarding the standardization of a
portable sensor of nitrite, a key biomarker of inflammation in the respiratory tract in untreated …

Cigarette smoking, the principal aetiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
in the developed countries, delivers and generates oxidative stress within the lungs. This …

Background: Thirteen studies investigating the association between asthma during
pregnancy and perinatal mortality reported generally no increased risk. Most of these …

BACKGROUND: Asthma in obese adults is typically more severe and less responsive to
glucocorticoids than asthma in nonobese adults. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine …
