Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cardiac autonomic modulation is affected in young asthmatics during eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea (EVH), especially focusing on those with and without exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB).
- It involved 54 asthmatic participants aged 10 to 19, measuring their lung function (FEV) and heart rate variability (HRV) before and after the EVH test.
- Findings revealed that asthmatics with EIB had a delayed increase in parasympathetic activity after EVH compared to those without EIB, suggesting differences in autonomic nervous system responses related to their condition.
Can physical exercise assist in controlling and reducing the severity of exercise-induced bronchospasm in children and adolescents? A systematic review.

January 2023
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze whether physical exercise can contribute to improving the control and severity of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) in children and adolescents.
Method: This is a systematic review that used PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases as a search source, and using descriptors indexed to DeCS/Mesh. The articles were analyzed in three stages in the selection process.
Background: Liquid nail varnish has been used since 1919, and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) has been recognized for at least 80 years, but it is difficult for nonspecialists to identify this condition.
Objectives: (1) To verify the frequency of ACD from nail varnish in patients with a presumptive diagnosis of contact dermatitis seen at an outpatient clinic, (2) to characterize the groups studied according to site of skin disorder, and (3) to determine the main sensitizer related to varnish.
Methods: Patients with a final diagnosis of ACD caused by nail varnish were assessed by means of retrospective analysis of medical charts and protocols used in the clinic from January 1996 to December 2006.
