Allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988Allergen inhalation in the laboratory can lead to an early (0 to 2 hours) and late (3 to 12 hours) asthmatic response and an increase in airway hyperresponsiveness to a variety of bronchoconstrictor mediators. Also, environmental allergen exposure increases airway responsiveness, symptoms of asthma, and the amount of treatment needed to control ...

Clinical Prediction of Airways Hyperresponsiveness
Chest, 1988We tested the ability of chest physicians to detect increased airways responsiveness (IAR) in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of asthma. Physicians ordering bronchial provocation tests for diagnostic purposes were asked to predict the clinical probability (based on the patient's history, examination, and spirometry) of IAR (defined by a ...

Virus-induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Asthma
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1998Viral respiratory infections exert considerable influence on airway function and asthma in all age groups. In infancy, respiratory viruses such as RSV cause episodes of wheezing that may be recurrent but are largely transient. In addition, there are indications that early viral infections may be able to affect the development of the immune system and ...

[Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway mucosal permeability].
Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai zasshi, 1997The relationship between airway mucosal permeability and airway hyperresponsiveness was examined with tachykinins, their selective antagonists, and superoxide dismutase in male Hartley guinea pigs. In animals with ozone-induced airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and mucosal permeability increased concurrently but there was a time lag ...

[Eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness].
Zhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, 1995In order to investigate the effects of accumulation and activation of eosinophils on the airway responsiveness we developed an animal model of eosinophilic airway inflammation by administration of polymyxin B. Bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed the presence of significantly increased numbers of eosinophils in polymyxin B-treated guinea pigs compared with

Airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma
European Respiratory Journal, 2008Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a hallmark clinical symptom of asthma. At least two components of AHR have been identified: 1) baseline AHR, which is persistent and presumably caused by airway remodelling due to chronic recurrent airway inflammation; and 2) acute and variable AHR, which is associated with an episodic increase in airway inflammation

Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Asthma
1992Measurements of airway responsiveness have improved our understanding of asthma considerably. But of course we still have a lot to learn. In this presentation, am going to start by saying a little about measurement before going on to talk about the interrelationships between hyperresponsiveness and the other characteristics of asthma.
