Abstract: Part 1 Genetics of asthma: understanding the genetic basis of asthma and allergy cytokines, genes and asthma. Part 2 Environmental epidemiology: Northern vs. Southern hemispheres epidemiology of asthma mortality the role of air pollution on allergic airway disease. Part 3 Asthma and wheezing in infants -can they come from the uterus?: candidate genes and paediatric asthma asthma epidemiology - old and new issues what is new in causal factors of asthma? what is new in molecular aspects of inflammation? the pros and cons of evidence based guidelines for childhood asthma management immunotherapy in asthma. Part 4 Respiratory physiology in infants and children: leukotriene assessment in childhood asthma bronchoalveolar lavage and biopsy in children exhaled nitric oxide as a marker of airway inflammation in children. Part 5 Risk factors in paediatric asthma: particular aspects in the tropics involuntary smoking and asthma risk factors associated with persistent wheeze and asthma. Part 6 Other respiratory problems: sinusitis in children bronchopulmonary dysplasia pulmonary manifestations of immunodeficiency syndrome. Part 7 What do you need to know about childhood asthma?. Part 8 Treatment of paediatric asthma: diagnosis and treatment of exercise induced asthma improved aerosol delivery systems for children asthma self-management plan system of care environmental risk factor - indoor pollution, consequence of ecologic disaster on respiratory tract challenges issues in asthma - rhinitis and asthma - systemic vs. local disease, heterogeneity of response to treatment. Part 9 From difficult asthma to future: severe persistant and steroid resistant asthma clamydia and bronchial asthma future perspectives on asthma treatment. Part 10 Asthma in the elderly: lung function deterioration in normal and asthma elderly is it asthma or COPD? the global burden of asthma - the challenge of a worldwide epidemic, trends in the epidemiology of asthma in children, delivery of care to those with asthma. Part 11 Asthma and inflammation: inflammation and remodelling role of dendritic cells. Part 12 Aetiology of asthma: occupational agents in asthma virus induced asthma tobacco smoking and asthma. Part 13 Hot topics in asthma: nocturnal asthma asthma mortality in Latin America occupational asthma new technology, research vs. clinical diagnosis measuring the outcomes of asthma future perspectives in diagnosis of asthma intercellular adhesion molecules and clinical perspectives experimental studies on steroid effects.
