Sex difference in the inhaled tartaric acid cough threshold in non-atopic healthy subjects.
Fujimura, M, Sakamoto, S, Kamio, Y, Matsuda, T
The threshold for cough induced by inhaled tartaric acid was measured in 71 non-atopic healthy volunteers. The cough threshold was lower in women than in men, which may be relevant to previous...
Fujimura, M, Sakamoto, S, Kamio, Y, Matsuda, T
BACKGROUND: The direct effect of bronchoconstriction on cough receptor sensitivity is unknown, and the antitussive effect of beta 2 adrenergic agonists in man has been controversial. This study was...
Fujimura, M, Sakamoto, S, Kamio, Y, Bando, T, Kurashima, K, Matsuda, T
BACKGROUND--To evaluate the effect of inhaled beta 2 adrenergic agonists on the sensitivity of airway cough receptors, the effect of inhaled procaterol on cough induced by aerosolised capsaicin, a...
Myou, S, Fujimura, M, Nishi, K, Matsuda, M, Ohka, T, Matsuda, T
BACKGROUND--It has recently been reported that acetaldehyde induces bronchoconstriction indirectly via histamine release. However, no study has been performed to assess whether acetaldehyde worsens...
Effect of oral mexiletine on the cough response to capsaicin and tartaric acid
Fujimura, M., Kamio, Y., Myou, S., Hashimoto, T.
BACKGROUND—The effect of the orally active local anaesthetic mexiletine on the cough response to two different tussive agents, a C-fibre ending stimulator capsaicin and a chemostimulant tartaric...
Comparison of atopic cough with cough variant asthma: is atopic cough a precursor of asthma?
Fujimura, M, Ogawa, H, Nishizawa, Y, Nishi, K
Background: We have described a group of patients who present with isolated chronic bronchodilator resistant non-productive cough with an atopic constitution, eosinophilic tracheobronchitis, and...
Effect of blood transfusion in low birthweight infants.
Robinson, R O, Fujimura, M, Howat, P, Salisbury, D M
143 fresh blood transfusions were given to 32 low birthweight babies, 28 of whom had hyaline membrane disease. The arterial or central venous pressure was raised by a blood transfusion if before...
Clinical events relating to intraventricular haemorrhage in the newborn.
Fujimura, M, Salisbury, D M, Robinson, R O, Howat, P, Emerson, P M, Keeling, J W, ...
Continuous measurements of arterial pressures, heart rates, respiratory movements, and respiratory rates were made from birth in 44 infants at risk from intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). 17 babies...
Factors which influence the timing of maximum growth rate of the head in low birthweight infants.
The postnatal rate of head growth in 63 infants of less than 34 weeks' gestation was examined retrospectively, together with that of 7 other infants of between 34 and 40 weeks' gestation who had...
Velocity of head growth during the perinatal period.
Growth velocity of head circumference was studied longitudinally in different gestational age groups of 222 appropriate-weight-for-dates (AFD) and 94 small-for-dates (SFD) healthy infants during the...
Timing of intraventricular haemorrhage.
Emerson, P, Fujimura, M, Howat, P, Howes, D, Keeling, J, Robinson, R O, ...
