Asthma Research Unit The aim of the Unit is to produce high quality research in the treatment and management of patients with asthma. Until such a time as the laboratories produce a "cure" for asthma, we believe it is work such as ours that can best benefit the patient. By educating medical staff through dissemination of our findings we can help ensure that all patients with asthma receive the best possible care. The Unit is supported by colleagues from different University departments including the Department of Applied Computing Department of Child Health at Ninewells Department of Mathematics , Department of Respiratory Medicine and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health The Unit carries out work on behalf of the General Practitioners Airways Group , a network of GP's from throughout Britain with a special interest in the care of patients with asthma, and is funded through grants awarded by charitable, government organisations and industrial sponsors.

Feature Story Half the cases of early childhood asthma are due to secondhand cigarette smoke About half of the cases of early childhood asthma, chronic bronchitis, and wheezing are due to exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, according to a study by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. It shows that 38 percent of children aged 2 months to 5 years in a representative sample of the U.S. population (7,680) are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the home, and 24 percent of these children were exposed by maternal smoking during pregnancy. The impact of secondhand smoke was seen at 20 or more cigarettes per day. Children 2 months to 2 years of age who were exposed to this level of household smoke were 2.5 times as likely to develop chronic bronchitis and nearly 3 times as likely to have had three or more episodes of wheezing. Children 2 months to 5 years of age were twice as apt to develop asthma. Children 2 months to 2 years of age exposed to maternal smoke in the womb were twice as apt to develop chronic bronchitis and twice as likely to have three or more episodes of wheezing. Those 2 months to 5 years of age with prenatal exposure were nearly twice (1.8) as apt to develop asthma. Peter J. Gergen, M.D., M.P.H., of AHCPR's Center for Primary Care Research, and his colleagues estimate that an extra 160,000 cases of asthma per year, 79,000 cases of bronchitis, and 172,000 cases of wheezing are due to ETS. However, in this study exposure to ETS was not significantly associated with the prevalence of upper respiratory infection, pneumonia, or cough.

The dust holds clues to Daniel's asthma traces of substances that trigger allergic reactions that send him gasping to the emergency room. In a lab, researchers wash the finely grained dust with antibodies that stain those microscopic allergens bright green, to measure how much lurks in Daniel's home.
