Allergology International, 2020 Background: Cough variant asthma (CVA) is recognized as a precursor of bronchial asthma (BA). However, the cough response to bronchoconstriction differs between these similar diseases.

Vagus nerve stimulation as a potential treatment for acute asthmatic bronchoconstriction: a systematic review [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyObjectiveVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a therapeutic option for diseases such as epilepsy and depression. Given that the smooth muscle of the bronchi is innervated by the vagus nerve, VNS could aid in treating pathologies of the respiratory system ...

Hic-5 drives epithelial mechanotransduction promoting a feed-forward cycle of bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMechanical forces are essential for organ function, but excessive or dysregulated forces can promote pathologic conditions. In asthma, bronchoconstriction narrows the airway, compressing the airway epithelium and activating mechanotransduction, yet key ...

Amitriptyline inhibits bronchoconstriction independent of direct receptor binding and reduces number of caveolae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with rising prevalence worldwide. Apart from the immunological role of the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline in bronchial asthma, there is emerging evidence that inhaled amitriptyline directly ...

Perception of Bronchoconstriction in Elderly Asthmatics
Journal of Asthma, 2001 The impaired perception of bronchoconstriction in asthmatic patients may increase the risk of severe exacerbation. To characterize the perception of bronchoconstriction in elderly asthma patients, we compared the perception in older patients with that of younger patients.

Management of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1999 Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a common clinical manifestation of asthma, occurring in 70% to 80% of asthmatics. Evidence suggests that exercise and the ensuing bronchoconstriction do not contribute to a worsening of asthmatic inflammation.

Imitators of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2009 Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is described by transient narrowing of the airways after exercise. It occurs in approximately 10% of the general population, while athletes may show a higher prevalence, especially in cold weather and ice rink ...

Bronchoconstriction: a potential missing link in airway remodelling [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 In asthma, progressive structural changes of the airway wall are collectively termed airway remodelling. Despite its deleterious effect on lung function, airway remodelling is incompletely understood.

The Aftermath of Bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy, 2019 Asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation, airway remodeling, and excessive constriction of the airway. Detailed investigation exploring inflammation and the role of immune cells has revealed a variety of possible mechanisms by which chronic inflammation drives asthma development.
