1.	Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) 08/01/2003 - "RESULTS: The significant findings of 17 selected, controlled clinical trials of oral corticosteroids (OCSs) for acute exacerbations of asthma in children, compared with placebo or with other formulations of corticosteroids, can be summarized as follows: 1) OCSs are effective for the outpatient treatment of acute asthma, 2) pulmonary function tests may not be the best means of assessing the efficacy of OCSs for acute asthma, 3) early administration of OCSs for acute asthma reduces hospitalizations, 4) the critical factor for a positive outcome is early administration of the corticosteroid, and 5) OCSs are preferred for the outpatient treatment of acute asthma. " 10/01/1998 - "This study aimed to determine whether the changes in practice in the management of asthma since the early 1980s have improved standards (as assessed by higher actual/best function) and reduced the need for oral corticosteroids. " 05/01/2009 - "Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are considered the most effective therapy currently available for persistent asthma and is the guideline-recommended first-line treatment for all patients requiring controller medication; however, the potential for oropharyngeal and systemic adverse events can be a barrier to their use. " 01/01/2008 - "Systemic corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment of most hypereosinophilic asthma patients." 08/01/2007 - "Currently anti-inflammatory treatments are effective for most asthma patients, but there are asthmatic subjects whose disease is not completely controlled by inhaled or systemic corticosteroids and who account for a significant portion of the healthcare costs of asthma.

2.	Inflammation 05/12/2009 - "Corticosteroids are highly effective in suppressing allergic inflammation, but their effects on GATA-3 are unknown. " 05/01/2001 - "While corticosteroids have proved most effective in modifying airway inflammation, the effect of inhaled corticosteroids on increased airway mucosal vascularity in asthmatics has been little studied. " 01/01/2000 - "Corticosteroids actnonspecifically, but are highly effective in controlling the inflammation rapidly. " 08/01/1999 - "Although antiinflammatory therapy with corticosteroids decreases the intensity of the inflammation in association with improved clinical variables, the association is circumstantial and it is unclear which marker of inflammation correlates best with the severity of acute episodes or the severity of the disease in patients who are stable. " 05/01/1998 - "Corticosteroids have proven to be most effective in modifying airway inflammation. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 06/01/2006 - "Corticosteroids produce a marked improvement in clinical parameters in most asthmatic patients; in contrast, corticosteroids have little effect on lung function measurements in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. " 02/01/2002 - "Because very few therapies offer significant benefits to patients with COPD, and until a test is developed that will distinguish between potential steroid responders from non-responders, it is worthwhile giving all patients with COPD a trial (3-6 months) of inhaled corticosteroids to determine whether they are responsive." 03/01/1978 - "There are several theoretic reasons why corticosteroids might be useful in treating COPD; however the majority of studies have not demonstrated a positive effect, yet individual patients have attained marked improvement. " 11/01/1999 - "Inhaled corticosteroids are widely prescribed for the treatment of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), despite lack of proven efficacy. " 06/01/1989 - "The efficacy of prolonged therapy with high doses of corticosteroids in patients with COPD is not proven. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Crohn Disease (Crohn's Disease) 08/01/2007 - "RESULTS: When used correctly, corticosteroids are a highly effective, well tolerated, cheap and generally safe treatment for active Crohn' disease. " 10/01/2001 - "Corticosteroids are highly effective in inducing clinical remission in patients with active Crohn's disease. " 02/02/1995 - "Although corticosteroids are highly effective in improving symptoms of Crohn's disease, they may have substantial toxicity. " 09/29/1994 - "Corticosteroids are the most efficacious drugs for inducing remission in active Crohn's disease, but their benefits are frequently offset by serious side effects. " 08/01/1997 - "METHODS: Twenty-two patients (12 males, median age 30 years, range 18-60) with moderately active Crohn's disease were enrolled in a randomized study in which the efficacy of an elemental diet administered orally was compared to high-dose corticosteroids in achieving clinical and laboratory remission.

5.	Rhinitis 04/01/2009 - "BACKGROUND: Intranasal corticosteroids (INSs) are the most effective treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR). " 01/01/2000 - "Topical intranasal corticosteroids (INS) are the most effective treatment for allergic rhinitis and are being increasingly prescribed to children. " 02/01/2004 - "BACKGROUND: Corticosteroids are considered to be particularly effective in reducing nasal congestion and are therefore recommended as first-line treatment in allergic rhinitis patients with moderate to severe and/or persistent symptoms. " 12/01/2000 - "All clinically available intranasal corticosteroids are effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, but studies to evaluate possible long term systemic adverse effects are limited. " 03/01/2009 - "However, intranasal corticosteroids (INSs) are effective in treating many forms of nonallergic rhinitis that include these conditions. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
