reviews the prevalence, causes, and demographics of childhood asthma worldwide
explores determinants of the disorder in various populations-gender, age and severity of onset, atopic status, family history, and smoking
elucidates physiological factors such as airway remodeling, airway hyperresponsiveness, and persistent inflammation
describes in vivo and in vitro testing for asthma-associated allergy and the pros and cons of allergen immunotherapy
delineates the dynamics of the lung in terms of phenomena such as peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR)
highlights the importance of patient education and self-management
investigates the role that developmental psychopathologies and neurobehavioral dysfunctions may play in pediatric asthma
discusses inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins
evaluates intravenous and inhaled 2 agonists for the bronchodilating treatment of acute severe asthma
