Involuntary cough is a classic symptom of many respiratory diseases. The act of coughing serves a variety of functions such as clearing the airways in response to respiratory irritants or aspiration of foreign materials. It has been pointed out that a cough results in substantial stresses on the body which makes voluntary cough a useful tool in physical diagnosis. In the present study, fifty-two n...... hiện toàn bộ
Intra-abdominal Pressures during Voluntary and Reflex CoughSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 1-9 - 2008
W Robert Addington, Robert E Stephens, Michael M Phelipa, John G Widdicombe, Robin R Ockey
Involuntary coughing such as that evoked from the larynx, the laryngeal cough reflex (LCR), triggers a coordinated contraction of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic muscles, which increases intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), displaces the diaphragm upwards and generates the expiratory force for cough and airway clearance. Changes in the IAP during voluntary cough (VC) and the LCR can be measured via ...... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough in China: an insight into the status quoSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Kefang Lai, Wei Luo, Guangqiao Zeng, Nanshan Zhong
Chronic cough is a very common complaint in clinics throughout China. Clinical and basic science research on chronic cough started late, but in recent years the effort has yielded promising findings regarding the etiological diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis. We found that inflammation in nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis has some similarities to cough variant asthma but also a number of di...... hiện toàn bộ
Childhood habit cough treated with consultation by telephone: a case reportSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-3 - 2009
Ran D Anbar
Childhood habit cough has been treated successfully by making suggestions that it can be stopped, desensitization techniques, use of distractors, provision of rewards, and self-hypnosis. All of these techniques have involved personal contact between a health care provider and a patient. A 5-year-old with cystic fibrosis was diagnosed with habit cough following evaluation by a pediatric pulmonologi...... hiện toàn bộ
Review: Effect of drugs on human cough reflex sensitivity to inhaled capsaicinSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-5 - 2012
Peter V Dicpinigaitis
Capsaicin, the pungent extract of red peppers, has been used in clinical research for almost three decades. Capsaicin has gained favor as the provocative agent of choice to measure cough reflex sensitivity, as it induces cough in a safe, reproducible, and dose-dependent manner. One of the major uses of capsaicin cough challenge testing has been to evaluate the effect of a pharmacological intervent...... hiện toàn bộ
Seasonal variations of cough reflex sensitivity in elite athletes training in cold air environmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Julie Turmel, Valérie Bougault, Louis-Philippe Boulet
Exercise-induced cough is common among athletes. Athletes training in cold air often report an increasingly troublesome cough during the winter season. Chronic airway irritation or inflammation may increase the sensory response of cough receptors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seasonal variability of cough reflex sensitivity to capsaicin in elite athletes. Fifty-three elite winter athl...... hiện toàn bộ
Cough: meeting the needs of a growing fieldSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 Số 1 - 2005

Abstract
There has been a rapidly increasing volume of research undertaken in the field of acute and chronic cough at both basic scientific and clinical levels. However, until now there has been no journal dedicated to publishing work in this field. In this editorial, we introduce the new online, open-access journal entitled Cough... hiện toàn bộ
Impaired urge-to-cough in elderly patients with aspiration pneumoniaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2008

Abstract
Background
The down-regulation of the cough reflex in patients with aspiration pneumonia can involve both cortical facilitatory pathways for cough and medullary reflex pathways. In order to study the possible involvement of the supramedullary system in the down-regulation of cough reflex...... hiện toàn bộ
Modulation of cough response by sensory inputs from the nose - role of trigeminal TRPA1 versus TRPM8 channelsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-9 - 2012

Cough, the most important airways defensive mechanism is modulated by many afferent inputs either from respiratory tussigenic areas, but also by afferent drive from other organs. In animal models, modulation of cough by nasal afferent inputs can either facilitate or inhibit the cough response, depending on the type of trigeminal afferents stimulated. In this study we addressed the question of poss...... hiện toàn bộ
Chronic cough and laryngeal dysfunction improve with specific treatment of cough and paradoxical vocal fold movementSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2009
Nicole M Ryan, Anne E Vertigan, Peter G Gibson
Chronic persistent cough can be associated with laryngeal dysfunction that leads to symptoms such as dysphonia, sensory hyperresponsiveness to capsaicin, and motor dysfunction with paradoxical vocal fold movement and variable extrathoracic airflow obstruction (reduced inspiratory airflow). Successful therapy of chronic persistent cough improves symptoms and sensory hyperresponsiveness. The effects...... hiện toàn bộ
