Bronchodilator-resistive cough in atopic patients: bronchial reversibility and hyperresponsiveness.
The number of atopic patients presenting only chronic non-productive cough appears to be increasing. This study was conducted to confirm the existence of non-asthmatic cough associated with atopy. We prospectively examined atopic findings, therapeutic effects of inhaled procaterol, azelastin, and/or glucocorticoids, improvement of FEV1 by bronchodilator therapy and bronchial responsiveness to m...
متن کاملBronchial hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, and reversibility in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), sputum eosinophilia, and bronchial reversibility are often thought to be a hallmark of asthma, yet it has been shown to occur in COPD as well. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship between BHR, lung function, and airway inflammation in COPD patients. METHODS Thirty-one, steroid-free patients with stable, mild and moderate COPD were studied. ...
متن کاملBronchodilator reversibility in COPD: the roguish but harmless little brother of airway hyperresponsiveness?
A irway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is well described in an epidemiological context with rather consistent results. It is known that AHR is a negative prognostic marker, associated with an accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) [1–3] and probably also associated with an increase in mortality [4]. The presence of AHR in ...
متن کاملBronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine/AMP and the bronchodilator response in asthmatic children.
Bronchodilator response (BDR) is assessed to estimate the reversibility of airflow obstruction. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is a characteristic feature of asthma and is usually measured by means of bronchial challenges using direct or indirect stimuli. The aim of the present study was to compare BHR to methacholine (direct) and that to adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) (indirect) with re...
متن کاملBronchodilator reversibility in patients with COPD revisited: short-term reproducibility
Categorization of patients with COPD as reversible or nonreversible to a bronchodilator may change over time. This post hoc analysis aimed to determine if an individual's reversibility, when treated as a continuous variable, could predict his/her future response to two short-acting bronchodilators: albuterol and ipratropium. The analysis was completed using data from a 4-week, randomized, open-...
