Bronchoconstriction in Helminthic Infection

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1992
In order to determine whether infection by helminthic parasites can be associated with a state of bronchoconstriction, we evaluated the response to the inhalation of a bronchodilator before and after long-term anthelmintic treatment of children in a urban slum of Caracas, Venezuela.

Bronchoconstriction damages airway epithelia by crowding-induced excess cell extrusion

Science
Asthma is deemed an inflammatory disease, yet the defining diagnostic feature is mechanical bronchoconstriction. We previously discovered a conserved process called cell extrusion that drives homeostatic epithelial cell death when cells become too ...

Perception of Bronchoconstriction in Chronic Asthma

Journal of Asthma, 1992
Twenty-nine asthmatic children were studied to assess their ability to detect the severity of their bronchoconstriction. First (STEP 0): each child was asked if he "felt asthma," inviting him to give a self-estimated obstruction score (SEOS) from 0 (no asthma) to 3 (severe asthma) and a baseline FEV1 was recorded.

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction

Drugs, 2002
Exercise-induced asthma, or more appropriately, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), occurs in 80 to 90% of individuals with asthma and in approximately 11% of the general population without asthma. EIB is characterised by post-exercise airways obstruction resulting in reductions in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) of greater than ...

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

Nursing
Abstract: Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) is a problem encountered by many people, and although it can be controlled, it is often overlooked or attributed to deconditioning. Children and elite athletes tend to have an increased incidence of EIB, but this condition is also encountered in others.

Treatment of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2013
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes the transient narrowing of the airways during, and particularly after exercise and occurs commonly in asthmatic individuals. Limitation of exercise capacity is a frequent complaint in all age groups, and severity of EIB ranges from mild impairment of performance to severe bronchospasm and a large ...

Pathophysiology of Asthmatic Bronchoconstriction

CHEST Journal, 1982
T he major resistance airways of human subjects are innervated by at least three different types of autonomic nerves. The specific physiologic “advantage” to this homeostatic system for regulation of bronchomotor tone is uncertain; however, some degree of bronchomotor tone results from parasympathetic innervation in all normal individuals.

Air quality and temperature effects on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

Comprehensive Physiology, 2015
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is exaggerated constriction of the airways usually soon after cessation of exercise. This is most often a response to airway dehydration in the presence of airway inflammation in a person with a responsive ...

The Homeostatic Rôle of Bronchoconstriction

Respiration, 2001
This article argues in favour of the hypothesis that the homeostatic rôles of bronchoconstriction are to retract the airway tree during expiration, and to assist in the expulsion of mucus from peripheral airways by increasing the velocity of outgoing air.

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.
