Acetylcholine-treated murine dendritic cells promote inflammatory lung injury [PDF]
In recent years a non-neuronal cholinergic system has been described in immune cells, which is often usually activated during the course of inflammatory processes. To date, it is known that Acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter extensively expressed in

Hyperpolarized Helium‐3 MRI of exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction during challenge and therapy
To investigate the utility of hyperpolarized He‐3 MRI for detecting regional lung ventilated volume (VV) changes in response to exercise challenge and leukotriene inhibitor montelukast, human subjects with exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) were ...

ABSTRACT Asthma has become more appreciated for its heterogeneity with studies identifying type 2 and non‐type 2 phenotypes/endotypes that ultimately lead to airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and remodeling. The pro‐inflammatory environment in asthma influences airway smooth muscle (ASM) structure and function.

Polymorphisms in the bradykinin B2 receptor gene and childhood asthma [PDF]
Bradykinin has been suggested as one of the key mediators of bronchial asthma. Polymorphisms with a potential functional relevance have been described in the B2 bradykinin receptor gene.

Antigen-induced mast cell expansion and bronchoconstriction in a mouse model of asthma.
Lung mastocytosis and antigen-induced bronchoconstriction are common features in allergic asthmatics. It is therefore important that animal models of asthma show similar features of mast cell inflammation and reactivity to inhaled allergen.

Tuberculosis in Malta : a case for sputum induction [PDF]
Sputum induction is a procedure used to help patients expectorate samples of sputum for laboratory analysis. It is a simple, safe and standardised procedure which may avoid the use of more invasive and potentially harmful interventions such as fibreoptic

Clinical effects of spa therapy were examined in 150 patients with asthma in relation tobronchial hyperresponsiveness and patient age. 1. The efficacy rate of spa therapy was larger as the patient age was higher: the rate was 73.3% in patients under age ...

Advances in the diagnosis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes the post exercise phenomenon of acute airway narrowing in association with physical activity. A high prevalence of EIB is reported in both athletic and recreationally active populations.

Anticholinergic therapy for acute asthma in children. [PDF]
Inhaled anticholinergics as single agent bronchodilators (or in combination with beta(2)-agonists) are one of the several medications available for the treatment of acute asthma in ...
