Asthma and obesity are frequently associated, and obesity has been considered a factor contributing to both an increase in severity of asthma and to its development. The present document summarizes the proceedings of a symposium held in Montreal, Que

To determine the role of 5-lipoxygenase products in the development of airway reactivity that follows antigen exposure, we sensitized mice by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide and serial exposure to aerosols of ovalbumin.

Previous studies have shown that lung volume decreases and airway resistance increases during sleep in patients with nocturnal asthma. To determine whether the fall in lung volume per se causes the overnight decrement in forced expiratory volume in 1

Neonates and infants presenting with pulmonary hypertension and chronic hypoxia often exhibit airway obstruction. To investigate this association, we utilized a system in which neonatal calves are exposed to chronic hypobaric hypoxia and develop seve

Asthma is a disease that is, in large part, defined by abnormalities of pulmonary function. Failure of any new treatment modality to improve objective measures of lung function suggests a limited usefulness of such new therapies. The clear dissociati

Although peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements are recommended for monitoring and assessing treatment of asthmatic patients, and widely employed to assess outcome in clinical trials and epidemiologic studies, information about performance of peak f

The lower limit for the baseline value to initiate methacholine bronchial hyperresponsiveness testing has not been well established. Recommendations have varied from1 L to above 80% of predicted. The objective was to determine if an FEV160% predicted

Pulmonary histiocytosis X (PHX) is a diffuse, smoking-related lung disease characterized pathologically by bronchocentric inflammation, cyst formation, and widespread vascular abnormalities and physiologically by exercise limitation. The major mechan

Airways hyperresponsiveness can occur as solitary evidence of airways dysfunction. Because hyperresponsiveness is associated with the presence and severity of disease, it is important to measure and quantitate airways responsiveness. The most useful

We have previously reported that human eosinophil granule major basic protein and synthetic cationic proteins such as poly-L-arginine and poly-L-lysine, can increase airway responsiveness in vivo. In the present study, we have investigated whether ac
