A proposal to account for the stimulus, the mechanism, and the mediators released in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes the transient narrowing of the airways that follows vigorous exercise. It commonly occurs in children and adults who have asthma and in elite athletes.

Severe Hypoxemia in Acute Pulmonary Embolism. [PDF]
We describe a case of hypoxemia due to an acute right to left shunt in a patient with pulmonary embolism, and show the value of point of care echocardiography with agitated saline. ABSTRACT Severe, refractory hypoxemia in pulmonary embolism may be due to an intra‐cardiac right‐to‐left shunt.

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Children [PDF]
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a transient airflow obstruction, typically 5–15 min after physical activity. The pathophysiology of EIB is related to the thermal and osmotic changes of the bronchial mucosa, which cause the release of ...

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.

THE ROLE OF BRONCHOCONSTRICTION IN COUGH REFLEX
To investigate the role of bronchoconstriction in the cough reflex, we compared antitussive effects of several drugs with their ability to effect the respiratory tract (i.e. bronchodilation vs. bronchoconstriction). Antitussive activities of five drugs administered either intravenously or orally on electrically-induced cough were evaluated in the non ...

Amitriptyline inhibits bronchoconstriction and directly promotes dilatation of the airways [PDF]
Introduction The standard therapy for bronchial asthma consists of combinations of acute (short-acting ß2-sympathomimetics) and, depending on the severity of disease, additional long-term treatment (including inhaled glucocorticoids, long-acting ß2 ...

Bronchoconstriction Induces TGF-β Release and Airway Remodelling in Guinea Pig Lung Slices. [PDF]
Airway remodelling, including smooth muscle remodelling, is a primary cause of airflow limitation in asthma. Recent evidence links bronchoconstriction to airway remodelling in asthma. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood.

Imitators of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction [PDF]
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 ...

Deep inspiration and the emergence of ventilation defects during bronchoconstriction: a computational study. [PDF]
Deep inspirations (DIs) have a dilatory effect on airway smooth muscle (ASM) that helps to prevent or reduce more severe bronchoconstriction in healthy individuals. However, this bronchodilation appears to fail in some asthmatic patients or under certain
