In his second study, Dr. Galant is collaborating with Dr. Steven George at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Together, using equipment in the Breathmobile, they are measuring exhaled nitric oxide, which is elevated in asthmatics and is a purported marker of airway inflammation. The bronchodilator response has also been shown to correlate with markers of airway inflammation. The goal is to one day be able to use this measurement to determine clinical treatment of asthma, including need and response to medication.
Dr. Galant’s third study aims to evaluate the burden of asthma and culture beliefs about asthma in Vietnamese children in Orange County. He hopes that better understanding the Vietnamese community’s understanding and beliefs about asthma and health care access will provide Orange County practitioners with the information they need to better reach out to and and treat children in the largest Vietnamese population outside Vietnam.

Childhood asthma is a relatively easy disease to control with the right teamwork between a child and his or her family, pediatrician and school. If not managed properly, asthma can negatively affect a child’s quality of life.
Health Topics
Kids with asthma may experience these symptoms particularly during or after exercise. However, children with asthma who are well managed usually have very little difficulty with exercise.
Asthma can be hard to diagnose in a young child and the symptoms can be mistaken for another illness. Children with asthma often have other conditions.
