It is accepted that nutrition support is essential in the treatment of critically ill patients. It is also reasonable to initiate nutrition support therapy as soon as possible. Although malnutrition is most frequently associated with a risk for immune dysfunction, it can affect all organ systems.

To evaluate the mechanisms by which borage seed oil and echium seed oil block mediator generation in asthma, we performed a cross-over trial design to reduce the numbers of patients needed for the study. Each treatment period was six weeks with a six-week washout period. For simplicity all power

Leukotrienes are important in the pathogenesis of inflammation, and leukotriene modifying drugs are now an established treatment for bronchial asthma and rhinitis. Drugs that inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotrienes are likely to be more effective than the currently available drugs that antagonize a

The effectiveness of nutritional support in modulating the chain of inflammatory response and in reducing demands of the respiratory system through use of nutritional intervention has received a growing attention, as a result of its capacity to interfere in a variety of biological processes [1].

The concept of asthma as a condition in which acute and chronic inflammatory changes in airways play a fundamental role is well established. The role of leukotrienes as a crucial element of these inflammatory processes is supported by abundant laboratory and clinical evidence. There is a potential
