Deep inspiration and the emergence of ventilation defects during bronchoconstriction: a computational study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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

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 ...

Circulating Antimicrobial Peptides as Biomarkers of Inflammation and Airway Dysfunction After Marathon Running [PDF]
BiologyMarathon running exerts physical stress and may lead to transient immune dysregulation, increasing susceptibility to airway inflammation and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB).

Role of acetylcholine and polyspecific cation transporters in serotonin-induced bronchoconstriction in the mouse [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2006 Background It has been proposed that serotonin (5-HT)-mediated constriction of the murine trachea is largely dependent on acetylcholine (ACh) released from the epithelium.

Bronchoconstriction Induces TGF-β Release and Airway Remodelling in Guinea Pig Lung Slices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

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.

Excipients of inhaled medications with potential to cause adverse reactions [PDF]
Hospital Pharmacology, 2021 Introduction: In addition to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the composition of the medicines also includes excipients which are only ideally completely pharmacologically inactive. It has been shown that excipients in inhaled preparations can

Bronchoconstriction following instillation of phenylephrine eye drops in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: two cases report [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015 Premature infants requiring an ophthalmic examination or even surgery for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) have a high prevalence of co-existing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Reactive airway is one of the clinical presentations of BPD.
