Airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and small airway function are critical to children with asthma. Little is known about the role of the small airway in well-controlled subjects with AHR. We aimed to ...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) contributes to increased mortality and long-term morbidity in premature infants and is associated with increased airway hyper-reactivity (AHR) (1). Even brief ...

Airway hyper-responsiveness is a measure of variable airflow limitation and is one of the defining features of asthma. AHR reflects the increased sensitivity of the airways to inhaled stimuli, even ...

Background: Muscarinic receptor agonists increase water secretion from the acinar cells of respiratory, sweat, salivary, and lacrimal glands. Mice lacking the gene for aqueous water channel aquaporin ...

According to Canadian researchers, asthma patients’ quality of life can be drastically improved by removing the muscle tissue (by heating it) in the hyperactive airways. This reduces the intensity of ...
