Aerocrine AB compiles and maintains a list of articles relating to exhaled NO.
This list includes Key References, which are the articles cited in this website, as well as a thorough list of general articles on exhaled NO that are updated monthly and listed by date of publication.
A PubMed hyperlink is associated with each reference for easy access to its abstract and in some cases to the full publication.
The Aerocrine Scientific Backgrounder discusses our current understanding of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and its clinical utility, with emphasis on asthma.
This is the 8th edition of this publication, which now includes articles published up to the end of 2006 and some from early 2007.
The publication has also been restructured, with material relating to clinical application of NO monitoring appearing first, followed by the scientific rationale, and then research applications. There are also new chapters on immunotherapy and phenotype.
Key developments during 2006, captured in this edition, include:
- New GINA guidelines were published, highlighting the importance of obtaining asthma control. (GINA 2006)
- Exhaled NO monitoring in the home setting was researched, using a handheld device (NIOX MINO®). Two studies demonstrated the feasibility of this approach among children and adolescents with asthma. (Pijnenburg 2006, Vahlkvist 2006)
- Algorithms were published for interpreting exhaled NO results in day-to-day practice, (Taylor 2006) while new data confirmed reference values in both a large adult population (Olin 2006b) and in children. (Malmberg 2006)
- New data emerged on the prognostic value of exhaled NO, allowing identification
of children who will respond to inhaled corticosteroids. (Zeiger 2006)
Scientific Publication Review 2008:
The 2008 Scientific Publication Review provides a collection of key research papers from 2007 and early 2008 that discuss current understanding in the field of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and its clinical utility, with particular emphasis on asthma. It is intended to accompany the 2007 Scientific Backgrounder which reviewed all relevant pre-2007 publications.
Key delvelopments reported in this booklet include asthma control, reference values and health economics.
