Aspirin-induced asthma: a tribute to John Vane as a source of inspiration

Abstract

Aspirin-induced asthma is a distinct clinical syndrome consisting of inflammation, characterized by chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis with asthma and often nasal polyposis. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) exacerbate asthma, resulting in violent attacks. This is the hallmark of the clinical syndrome as explained by the cyclooxygenase theory. This theory, which is now generally accepted, states that asthma attacks precipitated by aspirin and other NSAIDs have no allergic background; instead, they occur due to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 in sensitive patients. This paper describes how the discoveries of John Vane inspired the authors of the cyclooxygenase theory and led to further insight into the biology of eicosanoid metabolism in this relatively common type of asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
