Smoking-Related Diffuse Cystic Lung Disease.

abstract：STUDY OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between quality of life and measures of asthma, such as lung function, reversibility to bronchodilation, exhaled nitric oxide (NO), and bronchial responsiveness to direct and indirect stimulus in patients with mild asthma in a primary care setting. ...
