Diagnostic work-up in patients with possible asthma referred to a university hospital [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: The best strategy for diagnosing asthma remains unclear. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic strategies in individuals with possible asthma referred to a respiratory outpatient clinic at a university hospital. METHODS:

Staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization in a community-based population : a potential role in adult-onset asthma [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Recent studies suggest that Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin sensitization is a risk factor for asthma. However, there is a paucity of epidemiologic evidence on adult-onset asthma in community-based populations.

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.

Bronchodilator Responsiveness Following a Negative Methacholine Challenge Test [PDF]
Respiratory Care, 2011 Asthma is a complex disease of airway inflammation, which results in airway remodeling and hyper-responsiveness.[1][1] Because asthma-related symptoms are not specific to asthma, diagnosis requires objective data from pulmonary function tests (PFT).

Evaluation of interrupter resistance in methacholine challenge testing in children [PDF]
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2010 AbstractBronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is a key feature of asthma and is assessed using bronchial provocation tests. The primary outcome in such tests (a 20% decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1)) is difficult to measure in young patients.

Approach to the diagnosis and management of suspected exercise-induced bronchoconstriction by primary care physicians [PDF]
, 2009 Background Exercise-related respiratory symptoms in the diagnosis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) have poor predictive value. The aim of this study was to evaluate how athletes presenting with these symptoms are diagnosed and managed in ...

Reference values for methacholine reactivity (SAPALDIA study)
Respiratory Research, 2005 Background The distribution of airway responsiveness in a general population of non-smokers without respiratory symptoms has not been established, limiting its use in clinical and epidemiological practice.

Animals, 2023 Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation are both observed in human and equine asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the timeline and relationship of both features at the subclinical onset of severe equine asthma (SEA).
