   Author : Tommie Irewall; Nikolai Stenfors; Anne Lindberg; Estelle Naumburg; James Hull; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction; EILO; continuous laryngoscopy during exercise test; CLE; prevalence; risk factors; incidence; athletes; skiers; endurance athletes; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Abstract : Background: Asthma is highly prevalent in endurance athletes, but we lack up-to-date information on the prevalence and incidence of asthma in cross-country skiers. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is an important differential diagnosis to exercise-induced asthma, and its symptoms can mimic asthma. READ MORE

5. 3. Studies of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction to define protective mechanisms in asthma

   Author : Johan Bood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) occurs in the majority of asthmatics following vigorous exercise. EIB is caused by a loss of water from the airways creating a hyperosmolar environment in the tissue that in turn triggers the release of bronchoconstrictive mediators. READ MORE

7. 5. Bronchoprovocation studies to define mechanisms in asthma and airway inflammation

   Author : Nikolaos Lazarinis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Bronchial provocations with a variety of stimuli have been widely used over the past 70 years in both asthma research as well as in daily clinical praxis in order to aid the physician to establish the asthma diagnosis. In research, the bronchoprovocation model represents an excellent tool to better understand asthma pathophysiology, and to assess the effects of different interventions and new investigational therapies.
