Background: Bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma is considered an indirect index of airway inflammation. Occupational asthma due to Obeche wood has been reported by few studies and it may occur without bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

Background: The effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in stable cases of bronchiectasis without hyperresponsiveness has not been studied. The objective of the study was to assess the effect of inhaled fluticasone 500 µg twice daily on health-related ...

Accuracy of spirometry for detection of asthma: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with airway hyperresponsiveness. Spirometry is the most commonly used test among asthmatic patients. Another functional test used for diagnosing asthma is the bronchial challenge test. The aim of this

Non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma patients with or without allergic rhinitis [PDF]
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is the main pathophysiological feature of asthma. Eosinophilic inflammation of airway is one of main factors influencing bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent and efficacious spasmogen of airway smooth muscle. Recent observations suggest that an increased intrapulmonary production of ET-1 may occur in asthma.

[Airway hyperresponsiveness in bronchial asthma].
Airway hyperresponsiveness to a wide variety of stimuli is a characteristic feature of bronchial asthma. Although its precise mechanism remains uncertain, previous investigations revealed the importance of airway inflammation for the development of airway hyperresponsiveness.
