Does bronchial hyperresponsiveness predict a diagnosis of cough variant asthma in adults with chronic cough: a cohort study [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2021 Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a typical, but non-specific feature of cough variant asthma (CVA). This study aimed to determine whether bronchial hyperresponsiveness may be considered as a predictor of CVA in non-smoking adults with chronic cough (CC).

RhoA, a Possible Target for Treatment of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Bronchial Asthma
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 .: Airway hyperresponsiveness to nonspecific stimuli is one of the characteristic features of allergic bronchial asthma. An elevated contractility of bronchial smooth muscle has been considered as one of the causes of the airway hyperresponsiveness.

Relationship between atopy and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. [PDF]
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res, 2013 Both atopy and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) are characteristic features of asthma. They are also found among non-asthmatic subjects, including allergic rhinitis patients and the general population. Atopy and BHR in asthma are closely related. Atopy induces airway inflammation as an IgE response to a specific allergen, which causes or amplifies ...

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
Occupational Medicine, 2015 Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is often regarded as a 'hallmark' of asthma and bronchoprovocation testing is frequently performed to support a diagnosis of asthma. However, BHR is also found in a spectrum of other lung diseases and can be provoked by a variety of specific stimuli.To review the pathophysiology of BHR, discuss various methods of ...
