Long-term influence of inhaled corticosteroids on bone metabolism and density. Are biological markers predictors of bone loss?

abstract：:The physiopathology of chronic cough remains obscure. We evaluated the possibility that chronic cough in nonasthmatic subjects is associated with airway inflammation, and if this is so, what the relationship between this inflammation and the possible etiology of cough might be, as well as its response to inhaled stero...
