The present invention shows that miR-185-5p exhibits higher levels of relative expression (2-ΔCt, where ΔCt= Ct miRNA of interest (miR-185-5p) -Ct endogenous miRNA) in asthma patients than in healthy individuals. Moreover, the levels of expression of miR-185-5p differ not only between healthy individuals and asthma patients, but also between healthy individuals and each of the subgroups of asthma patients (intermittent, persistent mild, moderate and severe). The results further show that the last two severity levels, the persistent moderate and severe levels, exhibit a gradation or progressive increase in expression in comparison with intermittent and persistent mild levels.

Abrégé

The present invention concerns an anaesthesia machine simulator which gives mainly anaesthetists the opportunity to have a better knowledge of the elements and parameters present in a standard anaesthesia working station. In addition, this apparatus is used for reproducing the different critical situations which can occur during patient ventilation, with the purpose that anaesthetists should be capable of handling said situations in the most appropriate form for the patient.
