Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction as an expression of bronchial hyperreactivity: a study of its mechanisms in children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanism of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) was studied by observing the protective effects of several aerosol agents in a double-blind, randomised trial. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction was not affected by placebo, but was reduced by each agent used (p less than 0.001). Blocking the parasympathetic system had the weakest effect, while beta 2 adrenergic stimulation produced the strongest effect which was significantly different from the parasympatholytic (p less than 0.02). The effect of the mast cell stabilizer, sodium cromoglycate (SCG) was found to be intermediate. However in some patients SCG had a stronger effect than the beta 2 adrenergic agonist. A relationship was found between EIB and bronchial hyperreactivity induced by histamine (p less than 0.05).

The predictive value of parental questionnaire responses for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in childhood asthma has not been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to compare exercise-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness in 7 year old children with parental responses to core questions in the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) study.

BACKGROUND The response of asthmatics to exercise differs from that of healthy subjects, and the mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) remain to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in RANTES levels in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) following intensive exercise in allergic asthmatics. METHODS The study was conducted in a gr...
متن کاملMechanisms of asthma development in elite athletes
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is caused by heat loss and water loss through respiration during exercise, leading to mediator release in the airways and to increased parasympathetic nervous activity in the airways, thereby causing constriction of bronchial smooth muscle and increased bronchial secretions as well as vasodilation in the bronchial vessels. Development of asthma and bronchial...

"If from running, gymnastic exercises, or any other work, the breathing becomes difficult, it is called Asthma (<XmJlCX)". Aretaeus the Cappodician; lst Century AD [1]. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) was long ago recognized as a manifestation of asthma [1], and exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a common presentation of childhood asthma. BACKER and ULRIK [2] reported that 16% of 494 h...
