Caveolin-3 differentially orchestrates cholinergic and serotonergic constriction of murine airways [PDF]

, 2018
The mechanisms of controlling airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone are of utmost clinical importance as inappropriate constriction is a hallmark in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction: new evidence in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment

Asthma Research and Practice, 2015
The acute airway narrowing that occurs as a result of exercise is defined exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Most recent guidelines recommend distinguishing EIB with underlying clinical asthma (EIBA) from the occurrence of bronchial obstruction ...

Utilisation of the non‐invasive SpO2/FiO2 index for weaning from the ventilator in a dachhundog with signs of acute respiratory distress syndrome after bronchoalveolar lavage (dog)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 2‐year‐old, male, neutered dachshund was presented for further investigation of a progressive chronic cough. For endoscopy, general anaesthesia was induced with butorphanol, propofol and ketamine and maintained with sevoflurane in O2 and air, while the dog was breathing spontaneously.

Tuberculosis in Malta : a case for sputum induction [PDF]

, 2013
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

Phase 2 trial of montelukast for prevention of pain in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

, 2020
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are lipid mediators of inflammation. In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), levels of CysLTs are increased compared with controls and associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for pain. We tested the hypothesis

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]

, 2016
Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.

Complementary Predictors for Asthma Attack Prediction in Children: Salivary Microbiome, Serum Inflammatory Mediators, and Past Attack History

Allergy, EarlyView.
In this two‐phase study, school‐aged children were classified as at risk or no‐risk based on severe attacks during one‐year follow‐up. Four types of prediction models were developed. Salivary bacteria and serum inflammatory markers, while informative alone, complement past asthma attacks in predicting future attack risk.

Natural History of Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Its Association With Asthma Traits

Allergy, EarlyView.
AHR improves in most children over adolescence when its relationship with asthma changes. AHR is better at ruling out asthma in children, while it is superior at ruling in asthma in young adults. Age should be considered when interpreting AHR, and different cutoffs might be required for children and adults.

Amitriptyline inhibits bronchoconstriction and directly promotes dilatation of the airways

Respiratory Research, 2023
Introduction The standard therapy for bronchial asthma consists of combinations of acute (short-acting ß2-sympathomimetics) and, depending on the severity of disease, additional long-term treatment (including inhaled glucocorticoids, long-acting ß2 ...
