effects, and the substantially lower dose. The main long-term hazardcarcinogenesis or leukaemogenesis-should be lower, possibly no more than a lifetime fatal cancer risk of 1% after 25 years.5 This case provides further evidence that total body irradiation may provide a useful additional form of management in cases of polymyositis resistant to conventional drug treatment, although a lasting effect has not been demonstrated.

A calcium antagonist, nifedipine, modifies exercise-induced asthma.
In eight extrinsic asthmatic subjects (age range 16-38 years) there was a significant reduction (p less than 0.01) in the severity of bronchoconstriction after a treadmill exercise test performed 30 minutes after nifedipine 20 mg sublingually. The maximum fall in peak expiratory flow after exercise was 36.0 +/- SEM 5.3% compared with a maximum fall of 56.5 +/- 4.1% after matched placebo capsule...
متن کاملDescriptive epidemiology of bronchial reactivity in an adult population: results from a community study.
The bronchial response to inhaled histamine has been suggested as an epidemiological tool for assessing the prevalence of asthma, though the exact relationship between reactivity and asthma is unknown. Tests of bronchial reactivity to histamine were carried out in 511 subjects aged 18-64 years, randomly selected from the population in two areas of the South of England, who had returned question...
متن کاملEffect of hyperthyroidism on bronchial reactivity in non-asthmatic patients.
Thyrotoxicosis may be associated with deterioration in asthma. To determine whether bronchial reactivity to histamine is increased in hyperthyroidism 10 thyrotoxic non-asthmatic patients were assessed before and after treatment of their thyrotoxicosis. No significant change in bronchial reactivity was found after treatment.
متن کاملReversing effect of anti-asthmatic drugs on bronchoconstriction induced by antigen challenge and histamine in anesthetized guinea pigs.
We performed an in vivo evaluation of bronchodilation using a model of antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in anesthetized guinea pigs pretreated with indomethacin, pyrilamine and propranolol, and the results were compared with those for the histamine-induced response. Test drugs were administered intravenously when the antigen or histamine response reached its peak. Leukotriene (LT) D4 antagon...
متن کاملEffect of nifedipine on bronchomotor tone and histamine reactivity in asthma.
it is difficult to explain how successful resuscitation is possible after 40 minutes' submersion.2 The reduced oxygen requirement in profound hypothermia has been suggested by some authors as the mechanism by which tissue viability is maintained in these circumstances,2 but this alone is an incomplete explanation, as for the submerged body to cool to a degree at which oxygen requirements are su...
