چکیده

The link between allergic rhinitis and asthma is well known. Bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) may be present in rhinitis. The present study was aimed to compare airway responses in patients with rhinitis symptoms alone following exercise challenge, and to determine relationship of two different respiratory function tests.98 subjects with rhinitis were investigated by spirometry and impulse oscillometry before and after exercise challenge. No significant difference was detected between spirometry and impulse oscillometry measurements before and after exercise challenge in subjects with rhinitis alone. No correlation between spirometry and impulse oscillometry indices was found in pre and post-exercise stages.We therefore conclude that exercise challenge is not an appropriate test to determine airway hyperresponsive in subjects with rhinitis symptoms alone and findings of spirometry and impulse oscillometry are not interrelated.

Assessment of central airway obstruction using impulse oscillometry before and after interventional bronchoscopy.

BACKGROUND Spirometry is used to physiologically assess patients with central airway obstruction (CAO) before and after interventional bronchoscopy, but is not always feasible in these patients, does not localize the anatomic site of obstruction, and may not correlate with the patient's functional impairment. Impulse oscillometry may overcome these limitations. We assessed the correlations betw...

Airway narrowing measured by spirometry and impulse oscillometry following room temperature and cold temperature exercise.

STUDY OBJECTIVE The efficacy of using impulse oscillometry (IOS) as an indirect measure of airflow obstruction compared to spirometry after exercise challenges in the evaluation of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) has not been fully appreciated. The objective was to compare airway responses following room temperature and cold temperature exercise challenges, and to compare whether IOS...

Rhinitis, sinusitis and ocular disease – 2087. Usefulness of impulse oscilometry and fractional exhaled nitric oxide in children with eosinophilic bronchitis

Background Eosinophilic bronchitis (EB) is a common cause of chronic cough. Although EB shares many immunopathologic features with asthma, it does not show airway hyperresponsiveness or reversible airway obstruction by spirometry. Compared to healthy children without pulmonary disease, we hypothesized that EB patients would demonstrate abnormal pulmonary function and inflammation with impulse o...

Effect of Botulinum Neurotoxin A Injection into the Submucoperichondrium of the Nasal Septum in Reducing Idiopathic Non-Allergic Rhinitis and Persistent Allergic Rhinitis

Introduction: Submucoperichondrial injection of botulinum neurotoxin A (BTA) in the nasal septum is a promising therapeutic option in the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis, and is safer and more effective than intraturbinate injection in reducing clinical symptoms.   Materials and Methods: Forty patients diagnosed with persistent AR or non-allergic rhiniti...

Peripheral nitric oxide is increased in rhinitic patients with asthma compared to bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

Allergic rhinitis is a predisposing factor for developing clinical asthma. Moreover, allergic rhinitis is often associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). We hypothesise that patients with asthma have more small airway involvement than those with allergic rhinitis and BHR alone. The aim of this study was to assess peripheral and proximal NO concentration in rhinitic subjects, and to c...
