Detecting asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in children.
The prevalence of asthma in children is increasing worldwide. Although the features of asthma are well documented, defining asthma remains a problem. The clinical definition of asthma does not take into account the concept of airway inflammation. A broader definition that incorporates the inflammatory process, reversibility of airway obstruction, and airway responsiveness needs to be more widel...
متن کاملBronchial Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma*
Measurement ofnonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness remains largely a research tool in asthma, and its usefulness in the assessment and management of asthma is poorly defined. We StUdied the relationship of bronchial hyperresponsiveness to the clinical severity of asthma in 54 asthmatic subjects. In order to find out whether measurement of bronchial hyperresponsiveness could be used to pred...
متن کاملBronchial asthma causing symptoms suggestive of angina pectoris.
Many patients undergoing pharmacological stress echocardiography for assessing symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease are found to have a normal test. This study was performed to evaluate whether asthma symptoms simulate angina pectoris. A total 41 consecutive patients who had a negative pharmacological stress echocardiography and had been evaluated for angina pectoris were studied. Pat...
متن کاملTime domain and flow indices of bronchial hyperresponsiveness: association with asthma symptoms, atopy and smoking.
Conventional measures of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) are only weakly associated with respiratory symptoms in epidemiological studies. Partial and maximal forced expiratory manoeuvres were recorded during histamine challenge testing in 1,959 young male farmers. Analysis was performed to test whether novel measures of BHR, using alternative flow and time domain indices, are more closely a...
متن کاملEthnic differences in prevalence of asthma symptoms and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in New Zealand schoolchildren.
Maoris and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand have a higher asthma mortality and hospital admission rates than Europeans. To determine whether difference in asthma prevalence is the major factor underlying these differences in mortality, 2053 Auckland children aged 7-10 years (European 1084, Maori 509, Pacific Islander 460) were randomly sampled from school classes in the Auckland Urban Area, and...
