This research study is looking at the effects of weight loss, due to surgery or structured weight-loss program on lung function, inflammation in your body and lungs, asthma and asthma symptoms. This study is important because we will be better able to understand the effect of weight on lung functioning and asthma. Approximately 20 research subjects will be enrolling in this study at National Jewish. Adults with asthma who has elected to undergo weight-reduction surgery may qualify for the participation. Involvement will last about 1 year.
This is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK0476 versus placebo in participants with chronic asthma who actively smoke cigarettes.
The researcher proposes to assess levels of sputum inflammatory markers (eosinophils, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), neutrophils IL-8) before and while on anti-IgE therapy in a pediatric population of moderate to severe asthmatics who have ongoing persistent asthma symptoms despite on moderate to high doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Associations will be assessed between the types of sputum inflammatory markers and the patient's atopic status and level of asthma control as indicated by the following measures: 1. pulmonary function test (PFT) 2. asthma symptoms based on the Asthma Control Test (ACT)
OBJECTIVE: Determine whether home asthma telemonitoring using store-and-forward technology improves outcomes when compared to in-person, office-based visits.

The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanisms underlying the disparities in asthma and to improve asthma care in pregnant women, a targeted group at high risk for asthma-specific maternal and perinatal complications.
To reduce disparities in asthma among Latino children.
To evaluate asthma morbidity in low-income, African-American children and adults with asthma.
To address the problems of disparities in asthma care and morbidity by examining the influence of environmental/genetic factors and stress on the development of asthma.
