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 ...

Intra-breath changes in respiratory mechanics are sensitive to history of respiratory illness in preschool children: the SEPAGES cohort

Respiratory Research
Background Intra-breath oscillometry has been proposed as a sensitive means of detecting airway obstruction in young children. We aimed to assess the impact of early life wheezing and lower respiratory tract illness on lung function, using both standard ...

Consistency Between Oscillometry and Spirometry in Patients with Suspected or Confirmed COPD or Asthma: Results from a Multi-Center Study in China

COPD
Spirometry is the standard for assessing airflow obstruction but can be challenging and/or time-consuming for patients. Oscillometry offers an effort-independent alternative.

Clinical Applications of Pediatric Pulmonary Function Testing: Lung Function in Recurrent Wheezing and Asthma [PDF]

, 2011
Pulmonary function testing remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and management of wheezing disorders in older children and adults. Although wheezing disorders are among the most common clinical problems in pediatrics, most young children and ...

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

Impulse oscillometry may be of value in detecting early effects of obesity on airway resistance

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2019
Background and objective Obesity as a major nutritional problem is badly associated with respiratory compliance. The effortless technique such as impulse oscillometry system (IOS) could have a supremacy value over the commonly used pulmonary function ...

Evaluation of forced oscilometry technique's parameters in severe obstructive sleep apnea patients without breathing disorder

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020
Background: Forced oscillometry technique (FOT) is a noninvasive technique that measures reactance and resistance capacity of the lung and is a practical and less time-consuming technique for respiratory effort assessment.

The bronchodilator response in preschool children: A systematic review [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The bronchodilator response (BDR) is frequently used to support diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making for children who wheeze. However, there is little evidence-based guidance describing the role of BDR testing in preschool children and ...

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 ...
