Giant Multinucleated Cells Are Associated with Mastocytic Inflammatory Signature Equine Asthma
Equine asthma is currently diagnosed by the presence of increased neutrophil (>5%), mast cell (>2%), and/or eosinophil (>1%) differential cell count. Macrophages are normal resident cells within the alveoli.

The relationship between helminth infection and allergic diseases has long intrigued the scientific community. This interaction was previously studied in a horse family with high incidence of severe equine asthma and in non-related severely asthmatic ...

Omalizumab: clinical use for the management of asthma [PDF]
Omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds circulating IgE antibody, is a treatment option for patients with moderate to severe allergic asthma whose asthma is poorly controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and inhaled long-acting ß2 agonist ...

Lung Function Variation during the Estrus Cycle of Mares Affected by Severe Asthma
While the prevalence of asthma is higher in boys than in girls during childhood, this tendency reverses at puberty, suggesting an effect of sex hormones on the disease pathophysiology.

"Equine Asthma” – integrative biologic relevance of a recently proposed nomenclature [PDF]
The term “equine asthma” has been proposed as a unifying descriptor of Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO), and Summer Pasture Associated Obstructive Airway Disease.

Some Genetic and Environmental Effects on Equine Asthma in Polish Konik Horses
Current knowledge of the genetic and environmental backgrounds of equine asthma seems to be insufficient, especially for primitive horse breeds. The main objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of sex, birth period, stud, parentage line and

Severe asthma is associated with a remodeling of the pulmonary arteries in horses.
Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale are complications of severe equine asthma, as a consequence of pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction. However, as pulmonary hypertension is only partially reversible by oxygen administration, other etiological ...

Modulatory role of regulatory T cells in a murine model of severe equine asthma. [PDF]
It is accepted that T regulatory cells (Treg) control different types of immune responses. In connection with this role, we have recently described an important increase in CD4+, CD25high, Foxp3+ lymphocytes in the airway system of horses coursing with an exacerbation of severe equine asthma (EA). To explore the potential role of this population in the

Pulmonary vascular remodeling occurs in severe equine asthma.
Severe equine asthma (heaves) is a chronic genetic-environmental condition characterized by airway neutrophilic inflammation leading to airway obstruction, lung tissue remodeling and hypoxemia (Bullone, 2015). Hypoxemia triggers pulmonary vasoconstriction, resulting in higher vascular resistance and development of pulmonary hypertension (PH).
