Cough 1) All basic scientific articles should refer to cough as a three-phase motor act.For the purposes of acoustic recordings in clinical studies, however, be described forced expulsive manoeuvre or manoeuvres against closed glottis that are associated with characteristic sound sounds.

We investigated changes in the root-associated fungal communities associated with ectomycorrhizal herb Bistorta vivipara along a primary succession gradient using 454 amplicon sequencing. Our main objective was to assess degree of variation richness and community composition as vegetation cover increases chronosequence. Sixty root systems B. were sampled zones delimited by dated moraines front retreating glacier Norway. extracted DNA from rinsed systems, amplified ITS1 region fungal-specific...

Oxidative stress contributes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations and antioxidants can decrease exacerbation rates, although we lack data about the effect of such drugs on duration. The RESTORE (Reducing Exacerbations Symptoms by Treatment with ORal Erdosteine in COPD) study was a prospective randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, enrolling patients aged 40–80 years Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage II/III. Patients received...

Summary This paper assesses whether tree‐ring patterns found in recently dead mountain pines ( Pinus mugo Turra) infected by Armillaria spp. differ from those Heterobasidion annosum , and determines to what extent tree rings may be used as indicators of tree‐decline history (i.e. health conditions relation disease history) prior death. Dendroecological phytopathological analyses were undertaken the Swiss National Park. The calendar year death standing trees was determined cross‐dating...

We have previously shown that ionotropic glutamate receptors in the caudal portion of nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), especially commissural NTS, play a prominent role mediation tracheobronchial cough and substance P potentiates this reflex. This NTS region could be site action some centrally acting antitussive agents component drug-sensitive gating mechanism cough. To address these issues, we investigated changes baseline respiratory activity responses to mechanical stimulation following...

Current guidelines on the management of chronic cough do not provide recommendations for operation specialist clinics. The objective present study was to develop expert consensus goals and standard procedures clinics.We undertook a modified Delphi process, whereby initial statements proposed by experts were categorised presented back panellists over two ranking rounds using an 11-point Likert scale identify consensus.An international panel 57 from 19 countries participated, with reached 15...
