The pharmacology of airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation

Lung
R Pauwels

Abstract

Hyperresponsiveness is a key abnormality in asthma and deserves recognition both in the clinical presentation of asthma and its pathogenesis. Available evidence strongly suggests that inflammatory processes are important in producing this aspect of disordered airway physiology. Pharmacologic studies have greatly increased our knowledge of mechanisms involved in hyperresponsiveness but fall short of a complete explanation of the phenomenon. It is most likely that hyperresponsiveness, as measured in the laboratory, has many different components and that any single mechanism will be an insufficient explanation.

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.
