DNA binding activity of transcription factors in bronchial cells of horses with recurrent airway obstruction.

, 2006
peer reviewedHorses with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) present many similarities with human asthmatics including airway inflammation, hyperresponsiveness, reversible obstruction, and increased NF-kappaB expression.

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.

Spi2 gene polymorphism is not associated with recurrent airway obstruction and inflammatory airway disease in thoroughbred horses

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
The aim was to detect the presence of polymorphisms at exons 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Spi2 gene, and evaluate a possible association between them and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) or inflammatory airway disease (IAD) in thoroughbred horses, through ...

Emergent airway recanalization of the left main bronchus due to obstructive adenoid cystic carcinoma enables achievement of radical resection

Respirology Case Reports
Malignant airway obstruction is a life‐threatening condition that can cause suffocation and recurrent infections due to lung atelectasis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare and slow‐growing tumour of low‐grade malignancy.

Analysis of asthmatic lung remodeling in summer pasture-associated recurrent airway obstruction [PDF]

, 2014
Summer pasture-associated recurrent airway obstruction (SPARAO) is characterized by reversible airway obstruction resulting from airway hyper-reactivity to aeroallergens, mucus accumulation, and airway inflammation.

Pneumocoele sinus: Computed tomographic findings and surgical approach in a 2‐year‐old Cob filly

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pneumosinus dilatans and pneumocoele sinus describe abnormal hyperpneumatisation of paranasal sinuses, with the latter being accompanied by thinning of bony walls. Although recognised in human and equine medicine, to the authors' knowledge, this condition's computed tomography (CT) findings and successful surgical approach in horses

Alpha 1-adrenergic-induced airway obstruction in ponies with recurrent pulmonary disease

, 1988
We examined the response of five ponies with recurrent airway obstruction (principals) and five age- and gender-matched controls to the aerosol alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine after blockade with propranolol and atropine.

Single‐stage orthognathic correction of campylorrhinus lateralis in foals using transection and fixation: Surgical description and outcome of four horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Campylorrhinus lateralis (‘wry nose’) is a rare congenital maxillofacial deformity of foals resulting in compromise of the airway and severe class 4 malocclusion. Various surgical techniques to correct the deformity have been described, but contemporary data on single‐stage transection and fixation, including use of a rib graft, and

Epidemiology and exogenous factors in nocturnal airflow limitation in children [PDF]

, 1996
The studies in this thesis add new insights to the concept on the pathophysiology of nocturnal airflow limitation in asthmatic children. Exogenous factors such as environmental tobacco smoke, the presence of pets, and high HDMA levels all independently ...

Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...
