Background The treatment of hyponatremic patients requires physicians to make a
therapeutic choice between saline infusion and water restriction. Therefore, they need readily …

Rationale: Soluble mesothelin (SM) is currently the reference serum biomarker of malignant
pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Megakaryocyte potentiating factor (MPF), which originates …

Objective To determine the agents causing asthmatic reactions during specific inhalation
challenges (SICs) in workers with cleaning-related asthma symptoms and to assess the pattern …

Background: Natural rubber latex (NRL) has been increasingly identified as a cause of
occupational asthma (OA). Objective: We sought to examine the accuracy of the clinical history, …

Background: False‐negative responses to specific inhalation challenge (SIC) with occupational
agents may occur. We explored whether assessing changes in sputum cell counts would …

Background: Natural rubber latex (NRL) has become as a major cause of occupational
asthma (OA) in workers using NRL gloves. Few population‐based studies have assessed the …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at characterizing the nature, severity, and timing of nasal
and ocular symptoms in subjects with work-exacerbated asthma (WEA). METHODS: Among …

Background Ascertaining the presence of asthma through the assessment of nonspecific
bronchial hyperresponsiveness ( NSBH ) is a key step in the diagnosis of occupational asthma …

OBJECTIVES: There is little information on the changes in the pattern of occupational asthma
(OA) over time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the time trends in the incidence …

Background Soluble mesothelin (SM) and megakaryocyte potentiating factor (MPF) are
serum biomarkers of mesothelioma. This study examined the effect of clinical covariates on …
