Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment for Glioblastoma: GBM AGILE.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a deadly disease with few effective therapies. Although much has been learned about the molecular characteristics of the disease, this knowledge has not been translated into clinical improvements for patients. At the same time, many new therapies are being developed.

The relationship between airway responsiveness measured before and after the allergen-induced late asthmatic response.

Single blind allergen (Ag) and saline solution bronchial challenges were performed on two successive study days in ten asthmatic subjects. Histamine challenges were performed before, at approximately 2 h (or after resolution of the immediate bronchial response [IR]), and 24 h after saline solution or Ag inhalation. Specific airway conductance (SGaw) was measured after delivery of challenge agents until a 50 percent fall in SGaw was observed.

Evaluation of cutaneous responses and lung function from exposure to opiate compounds among ethical narcotics-manufacturing workers.

We recently demonstrated morphine-6-hemisuccinate-human serum albumin conjugate (M-6-HS-HSA)-specific IgG in serum from ethic narcotics-manufacturing workers. In this article, we present results of epicutaneous tests to opiate compounds and lung-function studies in these same workers. Thirty-nine workers, exposed to opiates, were evaluated for possible work-related changes in lung function and were administered a questionnaire concerning opiate exposure and health history in February 1988.
