ERS technical standard on bronchial challenge testing: general considerations and performance of methacholine challenge tests.
This international task force report updates general considerations for bronchial challenge testing and the performance of the methacholine challenge test. There are notable changes from prior recommendations in order to accommodate newer delivery devices. Rather than basing the test result upon a methacholine concentration (provocative concentration (PC20) causing a 20% fall in forced expirato...
متن کاملBronchial Challenge Testing
Airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) is found in almost every patient with asthma. The degree of AHR is variable between individuals with asthma and can correlate to the severity of the underlying asthma. Equally treatment of asthma can modify the degree of underlying AHR. Measures of Airway hyper-responsiveness or bronchial challenge testing are therefore important in both the assessment and man...
متن کاملGuidelines on standardized challenge testing for airway hyperresponsiveness.
I am very satisfied, as I am sure many other "lung doctors" all over Europe are, with the guidelines on lung function testing recently published in the European Respiratory Journal [1]. I am particularly interested in the section concerning airway responsiveness and am convinced this will help to standardize methods and facilitate comparison of the results of various studies. Nevertheless, I am...
متن کاملSatisfiability Testing: Recent Developments and Challenge Problems
Recently, there has been much progress in the area of prepositional reasoning and search. Current techniques can handle problem instances with thousands of variables and up to a million clauses. This has led to new applications in areas such as planning, scheduling, protocol verification, and software testing. Much of the recent progress has resulted from a better understanding of the computati...
متن کاملSafety of capsaicin cough challenge testing.
BACKGROUND Capsaicin, the pungent extract of red peppers, has achieved widespread use in clinical research because it induces cough in a dose-dependent and reproducible manner. Although > 2 decades of experience has led investigators to consider capsaicin cough challenge testing a safe diagnostic modality, this issue has not been specifically addressed in the literature. STUDY OBJECTIVES To r...
