Dr Zuber Ahamd also presented a research paper in the conference
‘CHEST 2008’ held in Philadelphia, USA. He conducted his
research work in his department on ‘smoker and non smoker
asthmatics’. His research topic was “To analyze relative and
additional bronchodilator responses of Salbutamol and Ipratropium in smoker and non
smoker asthmatics”. This study was the first of its kind. In his study he found that
Ipratropium, a bronchial asthma drug, had little or no effect in non smoker asthmatics
while in smoker asthmatics it is quite effective and should be given to them along with
another drug salbutamol for better control of asthma.
