The effect of inhaled dry salt on pulmonary mucociliary clearance in obstructive lung disease: A randomised, placebo‐controlled, crossover study

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Background Inhaled saline may improve mucus transport in respiratory diseases, for example, cystic fibrosis. This randomised, placebo‐controlled, crossover study examined the effect of inhaled dry NaCl on mucociliary clearance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Twenty‐five patients with GOLD stage I‐III COPD

Pathological Roles of Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammation in Asthma and Its Potential for Therapy as a Target

Journal of Immunology Research, 2017
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that undermines the airways. It is caused by dysfunction of various types of cells, as well as cellular components, and is characterized by recruitment of inflammatory cells, bronchial hyperreactivity, mucus ...

Section 2. Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Albuterol versus Montelukast

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2010
Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) involves airway obstruction with an onset shortly after exercising. It can occur in individuals without a diagnosis of asthma, but is most common in asthmatic patients (and in this scenario may be referred to as ...

COVID‐19 Prophylactic Effect of Bromhexine Hydrochloride

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Despite extensive efforts to identify effective treatments for COVID‐19, preventive strategies remain essential. Bromhexine hydrochloride (BRH), an over‐the‐counter mucolytic with potential TMPRSS2 inhibition, may reduce viral entry and thus serve as a prophylactic agent.

The relationships between nasal hyperreactivity, quality of life, and nasal symptoms in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis [PDF]

, 1996
Background: A clinical test that could inform the clinician about the severity of a patient's nasal symptoms and health-related quality of life (QOL) would be very useful.

Comorbid Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Asthma: Shared Risk Factors and Treatment Implications—An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1000-1023, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma are prevalent conditions that often coexist. These diseases share common inflammatory mechanisms, such as T‐helper cell 2 (T2)‐high inflammation, driven by interleukin (IL)‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13 cytokines.
