Clinical Application of Barometric Whole-Body Plethysmography in Feline Bronchial Disease [PDF]
, 2010 氣喘在人類是一種慢性的呼吸道疾病，是由許多原因相互影響所造成的，其中包括呼吸氣流阻塞、支氣管反應亢進及炎症反應。在貓也發現到類似氣喘的問題，且被命名為貓氣喘、過敏性支氣管炎以及貓支氣管病。貓支氣管病需要進行許多檢查將其他普遍的呼吸道疾病排除加以診斷。現今，在貓可使用非侵入性的肺功能測試檢查呼吸道力學進一步確定呼吸道的反應性。並且在氣喘病患進行皮內過敏原測試可瞭解某些特定的過敏原會引起免疫球蛋白(IgE)的反應。此論文包含兩個部份的研究，第一個研究評估使用全身大氣氣流計及支氣管刺激測試來診斷貓支氣管病 ...
