exhalednitricoxide:
When airways get inflamed, the inner walls of the airway swell, so there is less space for a smooth flow of air. Inflammation of the airways leads symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. The primary focus of asthma treatment is to reduce inflammation. Unfortunately, current methods of testing lung function do not measure inflammation. Therefore, you have to correlate symptoms to disease severity when prescribing or adjusting medication.

Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is an established marker of airway
inflammation that can be safely and accurately measured in
people with asthma. This resource kit provides comprehensive
information about the benefits and technology of eNO testing,
and highlights the medical necessity and the extent of acceptance
of eNO testing.

Road traffic crashes kill more than 3000 people, including 1000 children and young people, every day. Annually, 1.3 million are killed and at least 50 million are injured. More than 85% of these casualties (and 96% of child deaths) occur in low and middle income countries.
Many of those killed or injured are the breadwinners for their families. And by 2015 road crashes will be the leading cause of premature death, and disability, for children above the age of 5 in developing countries, unless we act now.
We must respond to this epidemic, which kills on the scale of malaria yet has been largely ignored by the international community. I urge people to get behind this cause. Together we can save millions of lives. It is time for action.
