Article Outline

 

With regard to the May 2005 editorial entitled “Does obesity weigh heavily on the health of the human airway?” (2005;115:921-4): In the second sentence of the section entitled “EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR ASSOCIATION,” a quotation was incorrectly attributed to an article in the May issue by S.A. Shore and J.J. Fredberg. In fact, the quotation is from the article in the May issue by G. Fantuzzi (pages 911-9). The sentence should have appeared as follows:

Fantuzzi,8 in an article in this issue, has quite rightly commented that “[t]he majority of studies published on this topic are epidemiologic investigations; the paucity of basic research on the possible role of adipose tissue in modulating asthma susceptibility and symptoms is quite striking.”
