Background
Childhood asthma comprises different phenotypes with complex pathophysiology. Different asthma phenotypes evoke various clinical symptoms and vary in their responses to treatments.
Methods
We applied k‐means clustering algorithm of twelve objective laboratory tests among 351 asthmatic children enrolled in the Taiwanese Consortium of Childhood Asthma Study (TCCAS). We constructed gene...
BackgroundA cross‐sectional retrospective study suggested a link between allergic diseases and Parkinson's disease. However, the temporal association between asthma and Parkinson's disease remains unknown.
MethodsFrom the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, 10 455 patients who were diagnosed with asthma between 1998 and 2008 and aged ≥45 years and 41 820 age‐ and sex‐matched controls...
Background
Several studies have suggested that the association between obesity and asthma may be stronger in females than in males, but the reason is still unclear.
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate whether differences in high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) levels explain why obesity is associated with asthma in females but not in males.
Methods
This study...
This study evaluated the effects of fluticasone propionate inhalation therapy on lung ventilation and alveolar permeability by quantitative Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation lung scintigraphy in 15 children with asthma. Lung ventilation was evaluated as the distribution percentage (D%) of Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosols in the central, intermediate and peripheral regions of the right lung. Alveolar permeability...

This study evaluated the effects of fluticasone propionate inhalation therapy for the distribution pattern of Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosols in 10 children with asthma. The homogeneous degree of depositing Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol was evaluated using a modified standard score system over the bilateral lungs. The baseline scores were calculated from Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation lung scintigraphy...
