Analysis of refractory period after exercise and eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation challenge

The American Review of Respiratory Disease

Abstract

We compared specific airway conductance (SGaw) and the FEV1 after repetitive exercise or repetitive eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation (EVH) challenges. Replicate challenges were matched in terms of inspired air conditions and minute ventilations (VE) in order to determine the degree of refractoriness after each type of challenge in patients with exercise-induced asthma. Ten patients exercised or hyperventilated dry, room temperature air at matched VE on two study days. When the patients FEV1 had returned to 90% of baseline or better, or at 3.75 h if FEV, had not returned to 90% of baseline, patients repeated the identical exercise or the EVH challenge. Minimum FEV1 values expressed as a percent of predicted FEV1 after the first and second exercise challenges were 52 +/- 16 and 58 +/- 17, respectively, which were statistically different (p less than 0.001; paired t test). Minimum FEV1 values after the first and second EVH challenges were 52 +/- 13 and 59 +/- 9% of predicted, respectively, which were also statistically different (p less than 0.01; paired t test). Seven of 10 subjects demonstrated higher SGaw values after the second exercise challenge compared with the first challenge, whereas eight of 10 subjects showed higher ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
