Cross refractoriness between sodium metabisulphite and exercise induced asthma.
BACKGROUND Exercise and inhaled sodium metabisulphite are thought to cause bronchoconstriction in asthma through different mechanisms. The response to both stimuli becomes refractory with repeat challenge. The mechanism of refractoriness is unclear, although depletion of mast cell derived mediators or neurotransmitters has been suggested. Recent studies suggest a common mechanism involving rele...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Clostridium difficile to the food preservatives sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate and sodium metabisulphite.
Clostridium difficile is an important enteric pathogen of humans and food animals. Recently it has been isolated from retail foods with prevalences up to 42%, prompting concern that contaminated foods may be one of the reasons for increased community-acquired C. difficile infection (CA-CDI). A number of studies have examined the prevalence of C. difficile in raw meats and fresh vegetables; howe...
متن کاملFishing-induced shifts in a Pacific ocean fish assemblage
The US Pacific Coast has been largely free of fishery collapses that have occurred elsewhere, but the situation appears to be changing. Here, we show results from the first systematic study of demersal fishes along the US Pacific Coast. Using data from a quarter-century long, fishery-independent, coast-wide trawl survey, we document fundamental shifts in the demersal fish assemblage along the U...
متن کاملEffect of acetazolamide and amiloride against sodium metabisulphite-induced bronchoconstriction in mild asthma.
BACKGROUND Inhaled frusemide but not bumetanide, another loop diuretic, reduces bronchial responsiveness to sodium metabisulphite (MBS). To investigate whether the effect of frusemide could be mediated through mechanisms other than Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter inhibition, the effects of amiloride--an inhibitor of sodium channels in the airway epithelium--and of acetazolamide--a specific inhibitor o...
متن کاملProtective effect of loop diuretics, piretanide and frusemide, against sodium metabisulphite-induced bronchoconstriction in asthma.
We determined whether the loop diuretic, piretanide, had a similar inhibitory action against sodium metabisulphite (MBS)-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic subjects as frusemide and, if so, its duration of action. In the first study, we compared the effect of inhaled placebo, piretanide (24 mg), or frusemide (40 mg), on the provocative concentration of MBS needed to cause a 20% fall in ba...
