Exhaled nitric oxide; relationship to clinicophysiological markers of asthma severity

MK Al-Ali, C Eames, PH Howarth - Respiratory medicine, 1998 - Elsevier
Bronchial asthma is an airway disorder associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness,
variable airflow obstruction and elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled air. The …

Exhaled nitric oxide levels correlate with measures of disease control in asthma

JM Sippel, WE Holden, SA Tilles, M O'Hollaren… - Journal of Allergy and …, 2000 - Elsevier
Background: Asthma guidelines emphasize maintaining disease control. However, objective

A Michils, R Louis, R Peché… - European …, 2009 - Eur Respiratory Soc
Exhaled nitric oxide fraction (F eNO), which is a reliable marker of eosinophilic airway
inflammation, is partially suppressed by tobacco smoking. Consequently, its potential as a …

Exhaled nitric oxide predicts asthma exacerbation

MS Harkins, KL Fiato, GK Iwamoto - Journal of Asthma, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is elevated in asthmatics compared to normal
subjects. Many studies have demonstrated that FeNO correlates with other markers of …
