		<description><![CDATA[Conclusions: Among selected subjects with COPD, azithromycin taken daily for 1 year, when added to usual treatment, decreased the frequency of exacerbations and improved quality of life but caused hearing decrements in a small percentage of subjects. Although this intervention could change microbial resistance patterns, the effect of this change is not known.

		<description><![CDATA[Children with severe therapy-resistant asthma (STRA) may have poorer lung function and worse symptoms compared to children with moderate asthma, due to lower levels of vitamin D in their blood, according to researchers in London. Lower levels of vitamin D may cause structural changes in the airway muscles of children with STRA, making breathing more <a href="http://bcrt.ca/2011/09/23/2467/"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Janda and colleagues1 in their review recently published in CHEST (September 2009) highlighted that statin drugs can have a beneficial role in patients with COPD through their pleiotropic antiinflammatory and immune modulatory effects. We suggest that the same immunomodulatory action might be reached in a safer and cheaper way by adequate vitamin D levels. &#160; CHEST PDF Chest-2010-Mascitelli-742-3 Related <a href="http://bcrt.ca/2011/09/23/statins-vitamin-d-and-copd/"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This review focuses on biomarkers of airway inflammation which may help us to identify, monitor, and guide treatment of asthmatics. We discuss biomarkers obtained from multiple physiological sources, including sputum, exhaled gases, exhaled breath condensate, serum, and urine. We discuss the inherent limitations and benefits of using biomarkers in a heterogeneous disease such as <a href="http://bcrt.ca/2011/09/21/clinical-update-on-the-use-of-biomarkers-of-airway-inflammation-in-the-management-of-asthma/"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>
