what appears to be a relatively weak, ineffective immune response since it is inadequate to clear the virus. Since immunologic mediated inflammation is thought to be the mechanism of progressive fibrosis, it is surprising that immune suppression does not ameliorate the disease at the expense[r]

Canada and 9149 subjects were included (4266 men and 4883 women). A high BMI was found to be a significant predictor of asthma incidence in women but not in men. The authors speculate that female sex hormones may play an important role in the aetiology of asthma and that these hormones[r]
