The Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) birth cohort study: design, methods, and study populationJames E Gern
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA
BMC Pulm Med 9:17. 2009..This paper describes the study design, methods, and population of the Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) study, which was established to investigate the immunologic causes of asthma among inner-city children...
Total IgE levels and asthma prevalence in the US population: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2006Peter J Gergen
Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md 20892 6601, USA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 124:447-53. 2009..The inability to measure IgE-based sensitivity to all allergens has limited our understanding of what portion of asthma is related to IgE. Total IgE measurement can potentially overcome this limitation...
Allergy-related outcomes in relation to serum IgE: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2006Päivi M Salo
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 127:1226-35.e7. 2011..The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 was the first population-based study to investigate levels of serum total and allergen-specific IgE in the general US population...
Asthma cases attributable to atopy: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination SurveySamuel J Arbes
Laboratory of Respiratory Biology, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 120:1139-45. 2007..The percentage of asthma cases attributable to atopy is the subject of debate...
Prevalences of positive skin test responses to 10 common allergens in the US population: results from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination SurveySamuel J Arbes
Laboratory of Respiratory Biology, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, USA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 116:377-83. 2005..Whether the higher prevalences observed in NHANES III reflect true changes in prevalence or methodological differences between the surveys cannot be determined with certainty...
Asthma in the inner city: the perspective of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious DiseasesAlkis Togias
Asthma and Inflammation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 125:540-4. 2010..In the past 5 years, NIH budgetary constraints have imposed many challenges for the academic research community. Despite these constraints, NIAID has maintained its support of a highly productive asthma and allergy research program...
A study of the use of impulse oscillometry in the evaluation of children with asthma: analysis of lung parameters, order effect, and utility compared with spirometryHirsh D Komarow
Laboratory of Allergic Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 1960, USA
Pediatr Pulmonol 47:18-26. 2012....
Asthma and panic in young adults: a 20-year prospective community studyGregor Hasler
National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Mental Health, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, 15K North Drive, Room 200, MSC 2670, Bethesda, MD 20892 2670, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 171:1224-30. 2005..Psychologic factors are increasingly recognized to influence the onset and course of asthma. Previous cross-sectional community-based studies have provided evidence for a relatively specific association between asthma and panic...
Transient environmental exposures on the developing immune system: implications for allergy and asthmaJoshua D Milner
Laboratory of Immunology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIAID, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 1892, USA
Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 5:235-40. 2005..Some progress, however, has been made and some more candidates for study may be emerging. Of particular interest are micronutrients, whose ever-changing use and immunomodulatory capabilities make them prime targets for study...
