Health Hazard Manual for Firefighters [PDF]
[Excerpt] Firefighters, as well as victims, can be exposed to a variety of toxic substances during a fire. Some of these toxicants are particularly insidious because they are produced by thermal decomposition before smoke makes a fire ...

Acute Exercise Challenge and Airway Dynamics in Youth With Sickle Cell Anemia: A Multicenter Study
Changes in airway dynamics in children with sickle cell anemia after maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing and a controlled intensity interval excercise challenge. ABSTRACT Sickle cell anemia (SCA) leads to reduced physical functioning and cardiopulmonary fitness. Prior studies suggest that airway hyperresponsiveness to bronchoprovocation testing is

Comparable reductions in hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction and markers of airway inflammation after supplementation with 6·2 and 3·1 g/d of long-chain n-3 PUFA in adults with asthma [PDF]
Although high dose n-3 PUFA supplementation reduces exercise- and hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB/HIB), there are concurrent issues with cost, compliance and gastrointestinal discomfort. It is thus pertinent to establish the efficacy of lower

Hypercapnia Effects on Lung Function
CO2 is a signaling molecule that disrupts alveolar fluid clearance and ion transport, impairs alveolar repair, and promotes mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction. It suppresses innate immunity, host defense, and inflammation, while increasing airway contractility.

Neurally mediated airway constriction in human and other species: a comparative study using precision-cut lung slices (PCLS). [PDF]
The peripheral airway innervation of the lower respiratory tract of mammals is not completely functionally characterized. Recently, we have shown in rats that precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) respond to electric field stimulation (EFS) and provide a ...

The effects of anti-sense interleukin-5 gene transferred by recombinant adeno-associated virus in allergic rats [PDF]
The accumulation and infiltration of eosinophils in airways is one of the most important characteristics of asthma, and is mediated partly by secretion of IL-5 from Th2 lymphocytes.
