Methacholine inhalation challenge: a shorter, cheaper and safe approach.
Increased nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness to pharmacological agents such as histamine or methacholine (MCh) is a hallmark of asthma. The measurement of airway reactivity is quite sensitive but testing is tedious, and time and money consuming. The present aim was, therefore, to design the shortest possible, yet safe inhalation challenge protocol applicable for a lung function referral ...
متن کاملShorter oars are more effective.
The purpose of this investigation was to clarify the effects of blade design and oar length on performance in rowing. Biomechanical models and equations of motion were developed to identify the main forces that affect rowing performance. In addition, the mechanical connection between the propelling blade force and the force that the rower applies on the handle was established. On this basis it ...
متن کاملMEDPILOT: integrated effective medical searches.
Biomedical searching strategies are ever more complex in the nowadays “information deluge” context. MEDPILOT is a service freely offered by ZB MED – Deutsche Zentralbibliotek für Medizin (German National Medical Library) based on an effective meta-search engine. It runs searches in Medline/PubMed and in many other biomedical sources, and allows further refinements and clustering of results.
متن کاملEvidence mapping for decision making: feasibility versus accuracy – when to abandon high sensitivity in electronic searches
BACKGROUND Mapping the evidence is a relatively new methodological approach and may be helpful for the development of research questions and decisions about their relevance and priority. However, the amount of data available today leads to challenges for scientists sometimes being confronted with literature searches retrieving over 30,000 results for screening. OBJECTIVES We conducted an evid...
متن کاملThe shorter, the better: A review of the evidence for a shorter contraceptive hormone-free interval.
OBJECTIVES The menstrual cycle is characterised by cyclical fluctuations in oestrogens, progesterone and androgens. Changes in hormone levels in the premenstrual phase with the decline in progesterone trigger a physiological reaction which culminates in menstruation. This process is accompanied in many women by various symptoms such as pelvic pain, headache, mood disorders and gastrointestinal ...
