Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]we believe that the assessment of the actual nasal output would have better characterized changes in upper airway NO production. [...]by using a nasal-mask method as the authors did, the large variability in nasal and oral NO values could be significantly reduced if oral NO was subtracted from the mean level of nasal NO air.5 Finally, although nasal NO in healthy subjects is more dependent on airflow dynamics than the concentration gradient between luminal air and airway mucosa, it is likely that human rhinovirus infection could have induced variations of nasal luminal volume and/or submucosal area.
