Bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.
The prevalence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) to methacholine inhalation in a consecutive series of 21 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome was studied prospectively. Slight to severe BHR was seen in 12/20 (60%) of the patients. Ten of 12 patients with BHR (83%) had a non-productive cough, wheezing, or intermittent breathlessness. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness was more common in pat...
متن کاملChanges in FVC during methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction in elderly patients with asthma: bronchial hyperresponsiveness and aging.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluated whether aging may produce changes in bronchial hyperresponsiveness, risk of enhanced bronchoconstriction, and changes of bronchoconstriction perception. SETTING Each subject underwent a methacholine bronchial challenge. Methacholine challenge was stopped when one of the following conditions occurred: (1) plateau of bronchoconstriction; (2) decrease of FEV(1) > 40%...
متن کاملBronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine is associated with increased common carotid intima-media thickness in men.
BACKGROUND Respiratory alterations have been associated with subsequent coronary heart diseases in numerous population-based studies. The underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the association between bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) to methacholine (which reflects local inflammation in the bronchus) and common carotid intima-media thickness ...
متن کاملBronchial Hyperresponsiveness to Methacholine and AMP in Children With Atopic Asthma
PURPOSE Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is typically measured by bronchial challenge tests that employ direct stimulation by methacholine or indirect stimulation by adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP). Some studies have shown that the AMP challenge test provides a better reflection of airway inflammation, but few studies have examined the relationship between the AMP and methacholine challenge...
متن کاملProfiling Micro-RNA expression in patients with Primary Sjogrens Syndrome – contribution to disease pathogenesis
Background Sjogrens syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder, characterised by lymphocytic infiltration resulting in exocrine gland destruction and other extra-glandular manifestations [1]. Currently there is no definitive diagnostic test, and the immuno-pathology is not fully understood. Recently focus has shifted to investigating microRNAs (miRs) in an effort to understand the mechanism...
