Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

More Relaxation by Deep Breath on Methacholine- Than on Exercise-Induced bronchoconstriction during the Routine Testing of Asthmatic Children

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Deep inspiration (DI) dilates normal airway precontracted with methacholine. The fact that this effect is diminished or absent in asthma could be explained by the presence of bronchial inflammation.

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.

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.

Loss of bronchoprotection to Salbutamol during sputum induction with hypertonic saline: implications for asthma therapy

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2018
Background Sputum induction with hypertonic saline in obstructive airway diseases is generally safe. However, saline induces bronchoconstriction in some patients despite pre-medication with Salbutamol. Our objectives were to investigate the predictors of

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Anti‐Allergic Potential of Chamaecrista nomame and Its Compound Luteolin for Novel Asthma Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Chamaecrista nomame (CN) and its active compound luteolin attenuate allergic airway inflammation by inhibiting mast cell activation and suppressing NF‐κB/MAPK signaling, leading to reduced cytokine production and OVA‐specific IgE levels. ABSTRACT Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by dysregulated immune responses and mast cell activation ...

Ventilation defect formation in healthy and asthma subjects is determined by lung inflation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Imaging studies have demonstrated that ventilation during bronchoconstriction in subjects with asthma is patchy with large ventilation defective areas (Vdefs).

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Children

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 ...

Effect of Intramuscular Adrenaline on Histamine‐Induced Hypotension: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Pilot Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
Histamine infusions induce reproducible severe hypotension. Intramuscular adrenaline showed ‘supposedly therapeutic’ plasma concentrations but did not produce a sustained clinically relevant improvement in shock in the majority of recipients. These findings question adrenaline pharmacokinetic surrogate thresholds and support the need for faster and ...
