Study design and population A cross-sectional study was carried out using a multistage cluster sample all over Lebanon between October 2009 and September 2010, with the objective of evaluating chronic respiratory diseases (asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD) [17]; in this manuscript, results pertaining to asthma will only be presented.
Sample text:```Participants were undergraduates who had been followed during their college career as part of a longitudinal cohort study (see Bonanno et al., 2004; Papa & Bonanno, 2008).```
Sample intent: background
Sample text:```After 50 min of acclimatization and cardiovascular recordings, measurements of the respiratory frequency (Rf) were also performed by using the whole-body plethysmography method (20).```
Sample intent: background



Sample text:```Results from a RCT assessing in-person post-test genomic counseling on 199 OSU-CMPC participants were published previously [18].```
Sample intent: method



Sample text:```These models are not specified and observe a single phenomenon from different points of view (Maxfield et al., 2002; Parker et al., 2009).```

Sample text:```The items are internally consistent and reproducible and the questionnaire may therefore be considered to have at least as favourable levels of reliability as clinical scores used to assess outcomes (Koran 1975).```

Sample text:```While this method is known to be generally reliable, there are some questions about the representativeness of the data used [25].```

Sample text:```Eight of the included studies examined the history of changes made to each registry record in order to compare published outcomes with the primary outcome as stated in the registry at either the time of study initiation or prior to completion of enrollment [7, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 31, 36].```

Sample text:```Nowadays, there are only a few studies that have a systemic view on these accidents (Bentley 2008) and which try, by using detailed analysis (Gao and Abeysekera 2004, Leclercq and Thouy 2004, Bentley et al.```

Sample text:```Our results on working memory performance are similar to those of earlier studies (e.g. Archbold et al., 2009; Cosentino et al., 2008; Naegele et al., 2006) in showing impaired working memory in the OSA group.```
