Does Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma Matter?

Journal of Asthma, 2004
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a fundamental component of the asthmatic inflammatory process causing airway narrowing on exposure to a bronchoconstrictor stimulus. This in turn causes patients to experience symptoms of breathlessness, chest tightness, cough and wheeze.

Chemically induced nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 1997
In summary, it is clear that in some instances, inhalant exposure to irritating chemicals can result in nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. The physiologic mechanisms underlying the induction of nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness in this setting are poorly understood.

Genetics of allergy and bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1999
Allergy and asthma are closely related complex diseases caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental influences. Two common genetic approaches, candidate gene studies and genome‐wide screens, have been used to localize and evaluate potential genetic factors that confer susceptibility or modify the phenotype of these diseases.

Development of Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness During Childhood

Journal of Asthma, 2001
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) produces the characteristic pathological abnormalities seen in asthma and clearly plays a central role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The presence of BHR has been demonstrated in infants with asthma, as has the possibility of BHR persisting through the childhood period.

Role of Broxaterol in Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness

Respiration, 1989
The protective effect of broxaterol against bronchial hyperresponsiveness has been assessed in several double-blind randomized controlled studies in stable asthmatic patients. In three cross-over studies, broxaterol (400 micrograms by metered dose inhaler) has been shown to significantly reduce methacholine responsiveness 30, 60 and 120 min after ...

Asthma, inflammation, eosinophils and bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1992
Asthmatics can have a blood eosinophilia which in some studies correlates with the severity of the disease. However, an increased number and percentage of activated eosinophils can be present in the blood without asthma. The eosinophils that contribute to asthma will be those in the lung.
