Intracellular action of magnesium in airways smooth muscle relaxation in rabbit
(1999)
This study was designed to examine whether magnesium has an intracellular action on airways smooth muscle contraction. Tracheal muscle strips were obtained from six male rabbits and perfused in a bathing chamber. The muscle ...
The role of nitric oxide in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma
(1998)
OBJECTIVE: To study in vitro the role of nitric oxide (NO), in the pathophysiology of asthma observing the effections of a NO-donor such as sodium nitroprusside, a calcium (Ca) channel inhibitor nifedipine or neurotransmitter ...
BENIGN POSTPARTUM PLEURAL EFFUSION
(1995)
The conditions of labour appear to favour the development of pleural effusion, The frequency of postpartum pleural effusion was investigated in this study using thoracic ultrasonography. Thirty one postpartum and 22 healthy ...

Airway responsiveness: role of inflammation, epithelium damage and smooth muscle tension
(1999)
THE purpose of this study was the effect of epithelium damage on mechanical responses of airway smooth muscles under different resting tension. We performed acetylcholine (ACh) (10(-5) M)-induced contraction on tracheal ...
The accumulation of pleural fluid during labour
(1997)
Objectives: Labour appears to promote the development of pleural effusion. The presence of pleural fluid at the end of normal pregnancy and after an uncomplicated labour was investigated using thoracic ultrasonography. ...
