State of the art Physical exercise, though absolutely beneficial for human well-being, is a well-known trigger to induce bronchoconstriction. Aretaeus of Cappadocia described the first cases of asthma triggered by exercise, already in the second century AD. Exercise can provoke bronchoconstriction
Anaphylaxis is an acute serious allergic reaction, with multi-organ system manifestations caused by the release of chemical mediators . It requires immediate recognition and intervention.
The estimated rate of anaphylaxis in children was 10.5 per 100,000 persons-years . Although the Rochester
1. Role of the ANS in asthma
For decades it's considered that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology and symptomatology of asthma.
The ANS had important functions besides regulating airway, such as bronchial smooth muscle tone, secretions, blood flow,
Study Design
Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial
Subjects Up to 80 adult patients with complaints of purulent (not clear) nasal drainage accompanied by nasal obstruction, facial pain-pressure-fullness, or both and reduction or loss of smell for 12 weeks or greater.
Inclusion
Airway hyperresponsiveness, the pivotal feature of asthma, can be assessed by bronchial provocation tests (BPTs), which may elicit bronchoconstriction via inhalation of stimuli. Histamine has been a direct stimulus for inducing bronchoconstriction via vasodilation, eosinophil chemotaxis and tissue
The multiprobe Delfin MoistureMeterD is a unique and compact water-specific instrument for the measurement of water content of biological tissues. It measures the dielectric constant values of the skin and subcutaneous tissues non-invasively and locally in a few seconds. The dielectric constant
Macular edema is a leading cause of decreased visual acuity in patients with diabetic retinopathy1,2.
Laser photocoagulation is the standard of care treatment for diabetic macular edema, based on ETDRS and recent clinical trials findings3,4. However, because visual acuity improvement post-laser is
1. Cystoid macular edema is a common complication of uveitic intraocular inflammatory diseases and is characterized by intraretinal edema involving the outer plexiform layer. Intraocular inflammation or uveitis may be associated with non infectious or infectious etiologies. The early symptoms of CME
The mechanism of pruritus is poorly understood, but much stems from the inflammatory process during wound healing. Damaged nerve endings, substance P, mast cells releasing histamines, and presence of inflammatory prostaglandins can induce neuropathic and peripheral pruritoceptive itching. Absence of
