Exhaled nitric oxide during infancy as a risk factor for asthma and airway hyperreactivity [PDF]

, 2014
Childhood asthma is often characterised by elevated exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), decreased lung function, increased airway reactivity and atopy; however, our understanding of when these phenotypic airway characteristics develop remains unclear. This study

The Influence of Different Mouthpieces on Impulse Oscillometry Results [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2018
Impulse oscillometry is a method of airway assessment and diagnosis that provides data on lung mechanics. In the literature, studies have used different types of mouthpieces or did not describe the model used for the tests. We sought to compare the 3 most commonly described mouthpieces in terms of test results, comfort, and subject preference.Thirty ...

Cardiopulmonary interactions with beta-blockers and inhaled therapy in COPD [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Beta-blockers remain underused in patients with COPD and cardiovascular disease. Aim: We compared how different inhaled therapies affect tolerability of bisoprolol and carvedilol in moderate to severe COPD.

Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...

Impulse оscillometry in the diagnosis of moderate airway obstruction

Клиническая практика, 2018
Background: Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-invasive method for determining respiratory impedance and its parameters. IOS has certain advantages over traditional spirometry. Aim: To assess the potential of IOS in the diagnosis of moderately severe

Un-diagnosing persistent adult asthma [PDF]

, 2017
The diagnosis of asthma is usually based on typical symptoms, family history, audible wheeze, peak flow, spirometry, possibly in conjunction with atopy and blood eosinophilia, as well as response to treatment.

Relationships between impulse oscillometry, spirometry and dyspnoea in COPD [PDF]

Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 2012
Background: Severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is based either on symptoms/disability or lung function, which have no discernible correlation. We hypothesised that impulse oscillometry (IOS), a non-effortdependent measure of central and peripheral airway mechanics, could correlate to dyspnoea in COPD.

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor BI 894416 in healthy volunteers and patients with asthma

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2660-2674, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has broad biological functions in inflammation and immunity. The orally administered SYK inhibitor BI 894416 was investigated in a single‐rising‐dose Phase I study in healthy volunteers and in a combined single‐ and multiple‐rising‐dose Phase Ib study in patients with mild asthma ...

Hingamistakistused II. Hingamistakistuse mõõtmine väikelastel [PDF]

, 2005
Paljudel hingamiskaebustega patsientidel esineb hingamisteede valendiku ahenemine, millega kaasneb voolutakistuse suurenemine. Forsseeritud hingamise voolu-mahu lingu abil on võimalik kaudselt hinnata hingamisteede takistuse muutusi, kuid seda uuringut ...
