Bronchial Asthma and I

Abstract

The nature of bronchial asthma is an important question since it is the starting point in search for the pathogenetical and pathophysiological studies of asthma.
I have investigated the pathophysiology of asthma, bronchial hypersensitivity, pulmonary function and pulmonary circulation. I have also studied pathogenesis, inhaled allergens, IgE antibody and allergic inflammations in patients with asthma and experimental animal models of asthma.
The second main field of research in asthma is new perspectives in treatment. For example, the so-called anti-allergic drugs or inhaled corticosteroids are in common use.
Asthmology has become a specialty but still needs the contribution of many scientists and specialists from other fields.
