Airway resistance was measured in 10 patients with bronchial asthma before and 5--30 minutes after gradual effort of 60 and 95 watt by means of bodyplethysmography. The resistance values showed three typical alterations: 1. no reaction; 2. decrease of resistance at 60 watt and increase at 95 watt; 3. increase at both degrees of exercise. In another group of patients with asthma the resistance was determined by means of the eosophagus-balloon method before, during and after exercise. The trend of resistance alteration was not identical during and after exercise. This behaviour of bronchial obstruction shows that unspecific factors affect the pulmonary mechanics because of the changed bronchial reactivity. The behaviour of a single patient with bronchial asthma is not predictable.

To reduce chronic school absenteeism and morbidity and mortality among school-aged children, the prompt administration of albuterol sulfate in schools remains vital. School-based stock inhaler programs are a practical approach to ensure equitable access to life-saving rescue medication for students. School and community partnerships can potentially strengthen program implementation and fidelity by integrating evidence-based practices into routine care.

Background: Acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) is a traditional Chinese medicine technique commonly used for managing various disorders, including chronic inflammatory pain and allergic asthma. Despite its growing use, the neuroimmunological mechanisms underlying ACE treatment effects remain unclear.

Methods: This study investigated the roles and potential mechanisms of the effects of ACE in treating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a frequently used animal model of autoimmune neuroinflammation.

Background: The German cockroach () is a pest with a global distribution that has adapted to live in human environments. threatens human health by producing asthma-inducing allergens, carrying pathogenic/antibiotic-resistant microbes, and contributing to unhealthy indoor environments. Effective application of insecticides can play an important role in cockroach control programs.
