Regular treatment with formoterol for chronic asthma: serious adverse events [PDF]

, 2012
Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between beta(2)-agonists and increases in asthma mortality. There has been much debate about possible causal links for this association, and whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists are safe ...

Airway response to methacholine following eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea in athletes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
To evaluate the changes in airway responsiveness to methacholine inhalation test (MIT) when performed after an eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea challenge (EVH) in athletes.Two MIT preceded (visit 1) or not (visit 2) by an EVH, were performed in 28 athletes ...

Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs that activate 5‐HT2A receptors have been long used for cultural, medicinal and recreational purposes. Interest in psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders has resurged recently and is well documented; less well recognised are their anti‐inflammatory properties. Growing evidence now demonstrates that psychedelics modulate immune

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with asthma: An observational cohort study

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Background/purpose: The diagnosis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) was established by changes in lung function after exercise challenge. The prevalence of EIB and factors related to EIB were not fully described in children with asthma.

Regular treatment with formoterol versus regular treatment with salmeterol for chronic asthma: serious adverse events [PDF]

, 2012
An increase in serious adverse events with both regular formoterol and regular salmeterol in chronic asthma has been demonstrated in previous Cochrane reviews.ObjectivesWe set out to compare the risks of mortality and non-fatal serious adverse events in ...

The testosterone paradox in asthma

Frontiers in Allergy
Asthma and an excessive response to inhaled methacholine, commonly called hyperresponsiveness, are intimately linked. Therefore, factors increasing the methacholine response are expected to contribute to asthma as well.

Prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness and its seasonal variation in children with asthma

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2018
Background: Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a key feature of asthma and can be detected using various bronchoprovocation tests. In pediatric populations, the percentage of a positive methacholine challenge test (MCCTs) in children with asthma varies ...

ITGA5 as a Dual Regulator of Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Epithelial Cell Anoikis Resistance: Functional Validation and Drug Prediction

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Proteomics and functional validation reveal ITGA5 as a dual promoter of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance in human bronchial epithelium: targeting ITGA5 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma airway remodelling. ABSTRACT Airway remodelling is a major contributor to persistent airflow limitation and irreversible lung ...

Standardization of methacholine inhalation challenge

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
Methacholine inhalation challenge has been shown to be an extremely useful diagnostic test. The purpose of this study was to document the reproducibility of methacholine inhalation challenge used in our clinic.

Exertional-induced bronchoconstriction: Comparison between cardiopulmonary exercise test and methacholine challenging test

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
Introduction: Exertional-induced bronchoconstriction is a condition in which the physical activity causes constriction of airways in patients with airway hyper- responsiveness.
