TL;DR: EBC-MDA is increased in subjects with chronic airway disorders, particularly in COPD, and it is related to FEV1 reduction.
Prognosis of occupational asthma.
Pierluigi Paggiaro,Barbara Vagaggini,Elena Bacci,L Bancalari,M Carrara,A Di Franco,D Giannini,Fl Dente,Carlo Giuntini +8 more
TL;DR: A long-term follow-up study of toluene diisocyanate-induced asthma showed that the improvement in bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine occurred in a small percentage of subjects and only a long time after work cessation, suggesting a permanent deregulation of airway tone.

Comparison between hypertonic and isotonic saline-induced sputum in the evaluation of airway inflammation in subjects with moderate asthma.

TL;DR: Hypertonic saline‐indueed sputum has recently been used for the evaluation of airway inflammation in asthma and shows promise in terms of improving the prognosis for asthma patients.

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness and toluene diisocyanate. Long-term change in sensitized asthmatic subjects.
Pierluigi Paggiaro,Barbara Vagaggini,Fl Dente,Elena Bacci,L Bancalari,M Carrara,A Di Franco,D Giannini,Carlo Giuntini +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a long-term change in nonspecific and specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness was studied in 16 subjects with asthma induced by toluene diisocyanate (TDI).

Postallergen inhaled budesonide reduces late asthmatic response and inhibits the associated increase of airway responsiveness to methacholine in asthmatics.
P.L. Paggiaro,Fl Dente,M. C. Morelli,L Bancalari,A Di Franco,D Giannini,Barbara Vagaggini,Elena Bacci,Leonardo M. Fabbri,Carlo Giuntini +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that inhaled budesonide may not only prevent but also reduce the late asthmatic response induced by allergen and that it might also be considered in the treatment of exacerbation of asthma.
