Clinical and basic science research on allergic rhinitis and asthma from Nassau University Medical Center.
Allergic inflammatory disorders involved with the upper and lower airway are related to allergic rhinitis and asthma. The role of nasal provocation and airway epithelium as models to evaluate allergic rhinitis and asthma are illustrated in studies from our research center. New concepts related to the anti-inflammatory effect of nasal steroids, antihistamines, isomers of beta 2 agonists, cromolyn sodium, and enoxaparin sodium related to airway remodeling are addressed in this article.
