Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Acepromazine Reduces Airway Contraction in a Murine Model of Asthma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acepromazine (ACP) is one of the most used sedatives in veterinary medicine, and its cardiovascular effects are well documented. In contrast, its effects on the respiratory system remain less well understood, particularly in the context of assessment of respiratory mechanics in murine models of asthma, where its use has become more common in ...

Exacerbations and Management of Asthma in Viral Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: The Significance of Immunoglobulin E. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Viral‐respiratory infections are the most prevalent illness among humans. A viral infection affecting lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) is a critical health concern worldwide. The COVID‐19 pandemic has significantly impacted respiratory health, particularly in individuals with asthma.

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of TRPM8 cold thermoreceptor gene polymorphisms on the development of asthma phenotype with cold airway hyperresponsiveness (CAH). 167 cases of mild-to-moderate persistent asthma were retrospectively analyzed. In each case, the examination included two repeated bronchoprovocation tests with 3-min isocapic

The impact of cold on the respiratory tract and its consequences to respiratory health [PDF]
The increasing use, and sometimes the abuse, particularly in industrialized countries of air conditioning at home, in car, hotel and shopping centres has highlighted new emerging public health issues, resulting from exposure of the airways to cool air or,
