Peak expiratory flow changes during experimental rhinovirus infection.
Rhinovirus (RV) colds are associated with asthma exacerbations and experimental infections are commonly used to investigate the mechanisms involved. However, a temporal association between experimental RV infections and falls in peak expiratory flow (PEF) have not been demonstrated. PEF was measured in 22 volunteers (11 normal, five atopic, six atopic asthmatic) who developed RV serotype 16 col...
متن کاملpeak expiratory flow changes among welders
more than one percent of the labor force in each country consists of welders exposed to various damages caused by welding. the number of studies conducted in this field is low, especially in iran. in this paper, we tried to discover any temporary and reversible obstructive effect of welding fumes on the respiratory systems of welders. in this cross-sectional study, peak expiratory flow rates an...
متن کاملChanges in microbiota during experimental human Rhinovirus infection
BACKGROUND Human Rhinovirus (HRV) is responsible for the majority of common colds and is frequently accompanied by secondary bacterial infections through poorly understood mechanisms. We investigated the effects of experimental human HRV serotype 16 infection on the upper respiratory tract microbiota. METHODS Six healthy volunteers were infected with HRV16. We performed 16S ribosomal RNA-targ...
متن کاملRhinovirus Genome Evolution during Experimental Human Infection
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) evolve rapidly due in part to their error-prone RNA polymerase. Knowledge of the diversity of HRV populations emerging during the course of a natural infection is essential and represents a basis for the design of future potential vaccines and antiviral drugs. To evaluate HRV evolution in humans, nasal wash samples were collected daily for five days from 15 immunocompe...
متن کاملPeak expiratory flow at altitude.
The mini Wright peak flow meter is a useful, portable instrument for field studies but being sensitive to air density will under-read at altitude. True peak expiratory flow will increase at altitude, however, because of the decreased air density, given that dynamic resistance is unchanged. The effect of simulated altitude on peak expiratory flow (PEF) was determined in six subjects with both th...
