## Abstract ## Background The childhood asthma control test (CโACT) is a validated symptom score for assessing asthma control in children. We used a slightly modified version (CโACT^M^) of the German CโACT and compared our results with the literature, correlated the children's part of CโACT (CโACT
## Abstract ## Rationale Recent guidelines focus on adjusting asthma treatment to the level of asthma control. The availability of a webโbased asthma control questionnaire offers the possibility to assess asthma control without the need of outpatient clinic visits. The aim of this study was to ev
Exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) is a surrogate marker of airway inflammation in asthma. In 12 children aged 6-11 years with mild to moderate persistent asthma, ENO concentrations were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment with montelukast sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, and 2 weeks af
The aim of this work is the development of a NO sensor for asthma control and medication monitoring. The transducer is a Molecular Controlled Semiconductor Resistor (MOCSER), which is a GaAs based heterostructure. Protoporphyrins IX, containing carboxylic groups to chemisorb on GaAs, were used as se
