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.

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 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 mediators and the development of bronchoconstriction in the airways.

Bronchoconstriction in potroom workers. [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1979 The effect on airway responsiveness of an oral dose of a beta-adrenergic blocker (80 mg propranolol) given before work, was studied in 15 potroom workers who complained of dyspnoea, chest tightness and wheezing after they had started to work in potrooms.

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 athletes.

Methacholine causes reflex bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1999 To determine whether methacholine causes vagally mediated reflex constriction of airway smooth muscle, we administered methacholine to sheep either via the bronchial artery or as an aerosol via tracheostomy into the lower airways. We then measured the contraction of an isolated, in situ segment of trachealis smooth muscle and determined the effect of ...

Allergology International, 2020 Cough variant asthma (CVA) is recognized as a precursor of bronchial asthma (BA). However, the cough response to bronchoconstriction differs between these similar diseases. Repeated bronchoconstriction and the resulting imbalance of endogenous lipid mediators may impact the cough response.We investigated the influence of repeated bronchoconstriction on

Bronchoconstriction in the Presence of Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]
Circulation, 1963 In a group of seven patients with pulmonary embolism, evidence of bronchoconstriction was found. Heparin appeared to relieve partially the observed airway obstruction. A possible common mechanism for the initiation of intravascular coagulation and the production of bronchoconstriction was considered.

Treatment of Bronchoconstriction
Nihon Kikan Shokudoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1979 The treatment for bronchoconstriction should be aimed at the treatment of bronchoedema, bronchospasm, hypersecretion of mucous and ventilation-perfusion imbalance. Stimulation of β-adrenergic receptors and blockade of α-adrenergic receptors and cholinergic receptors can be considered as the therapeutic approach to bronchoconstriction, and the ...

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. Asthmatics should not be discouraged from exercising, and, with adequate management, most patients
