Micro RNA expression in induced sputum of smokers and patients with chronic bstructive pulmonary disease.
Induced sputum and bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
In the levosalbutamol group, 88.2% males and 91.3% females induced sputum. In the 0.9% normal saline group, 59.1% males and 38.9% females induced sputum and in the 3% hypertonic saline group, 100% males and 94.1% females induced sputum.
Similarly, a cross-sectional study of 32 subjects showed a positive association between GER and the tachykinins substance P and neurokinin A in induced sputum samples, both in asthmatics and nonasthmatics.
Treatment was followed by ozone challenge and subsequent collection of induced sputum that was analyzed for cellular composition and non-cellular mediators.
Exposures included modeled estimates of average ambient residential [PM.sub.10] (PM with aerodynamic diameter [less than or equal to] 10 [micro]m), recent [PM.sub.10] and [PM.sub.2.5] (aerodynamic diameter [less than or equal to] 2.5 [micro]m) exposures (at the study hospital), and a proxy measure of chronic carbon load (median area occupied by carbon in 50 airway macrophages from an induced sputum sample.) The authors report that recent, [PM.sub.10] exposure was associated with increased platelet activation, both before and after adjustment for type of diabetes and use of medications that inhibit platelet aggregation, and that carbon load was positively associated with platelet and white blood cell counts.
"In these patients, you may want to proceed with obtaining an induced sputum, an endotracheal aspirate, or a bronchoalveolar lavage specimen to rule out the pandemic strain," according to Dr.
For such patients, if facilities for culture are available, sputum specimens should be obtained (by expectoration, gastric washings, or induced sputum) for culture.
immunofluorescence assay (IFA)), which can detect both forms, are now widely used because of improved sensitivity and specificity compared with conventional stains in induced sputum samples.
Patients were admitted for fibreoptic bronchoscopy and prior to bronchoscopy an induced sputum sample was obtained, using hypertonic saline (3%) and an ordinary ward nebulizer.
Although induced sputum collection is a slightly less comfortable method for the patient than spontaneous sputum collection, adverse effects are minimal, and usually associated with bronchoconstriction.
