Use of Impulse Oscillometry to Detect Vocal Cord Dysfunction
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is the inappropriate adduction of the vocal cords during the inspiratory phase. Diagnosing VCD can be difficult because expected flow volume loop abnormalities are not noted frequently. To diagnose through laryngoscopy, the symptoms must occur during testing. We hypothesized a difference in R5 low frequency resistance of Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) in VCD compared with asthma patients.

Exercise-associated dyspnea and stridor: thinking beyond asthma
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2020Source: The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In PracticeAuthor(s): J.H. Hull, Krystelle Godbout, Louis-Philippe BouletAbstractBreathlessness during sport can be caused by a variety of cardiorespiratory conditions, but when associated with stridor, usually arises from an upper airway etiology. The term exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is now used to describe the phenomonen of transient glottic closure occurring in association with physical activity.Exercise related laryngeal closure is most commonly encountered in athletic individuals and likely affe...

Clinical Evaluation of Deployed Military Personnel with Chronic Respiratory Symptoms: STAMPEDE (Study of Active Duty Military for Pulmonary Disease Related to Environmental Deployment Exposures) III.
CONCLUSION: Post-deployment pulmonary evaluation should focus on common diseases such as asthma and airway hyperreactivity, and include testing for upper airway disorders. Diffuse lung diseases were rarely diagnosed while numerous co-morbidities were common.

Antileukotrienes improve naso ‐ocular symptoms and biomarkers in patients with NARES and asthma
ConclusionNARES patients may benefit from treatment with montelukast. In particular, the presence of concomitant asthma may be predictive of a greater efficacy.Level of Evidence2.Laryngoscope, 2018

Working Towards a Common Transatlantic Approach for Evaluation of Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction
Exertional dyspnea can be a manifestation of dysfunction in a variety of organ systems. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), a condition previously known as vocal cord dysfunction and paradoxic vocal fold motion, is defined as inappropriate, reversible narrowing of the larynx during vigorous exercise. EILO is usually characterized by typical symptoms, which nevertheless frequently are confused with those of other conditions, including asthma. Laryngoscopy performed as symptoms evolve from rest to peak exercise is pivotal in patient work-up. Moving forward, laryngoscopy findings that definitively characterize EILO...

Individualised field testing is a useful tool to evaluate difficult asthma
We report the use of individualised field tests (IFT) to investigate exercise induced symptoms amongst asthmatic children referred to a tertiary respiratory service. Tests were completed by a physiotherapist and paediatrician and included the facility to perform fibre optic laryngoscopy in those with symptoms suggestive of vocal cord dysfunction (VCD).26 assessments were performed (Male 9: Female 17; age 11 - 17 years, 1child of 6 years).7 Were positive for EIB (Decreased FEV1 > 12%, 5-15mins post exercise). 13 had signs of dysfunctional breathing. 5 developed signs of upper airway obstruction due to VCD.1 test revealed...

Lack of long ‐term add‐on effect by montelukast in postoperative chronic rhinosinusitis patients with nasal polyps
ConclusionsThese results suggest that the addition of montelukast to INCS should not be recommended in the treatment of postoperative CRSwNP patients.

Relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis exacerbation frequency and asthma control
ConclusionsAECRS are negatively associated with the level of asthma control in asthmatic CRS patients, independent of CRS symptom severity. These results highlight AECRS as a distinct clinical manifestation of CRS that should be routinely assessed in CRS patients.

Weekly Personal Ozone Exposure and Respiratory Health in a Panel of Greek Schoolchildren
Conclusions:
The study provides evidence that airway inflammation and the frequency of respiratory symptoms increase, whereas lung function decreases with increased ozone exposure in schoolchildren. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP635

A population‐based study investigating chronic rhinosinusitis and the incidence of asthma
ConclusionResults indicate that one in 13 individuals with CRS will be subsequently diagnosed with asthma. Given the economic burden and use of healthcare services associated with asthma, providers managing CRS may consider increased awareness and subsequent treatment for asthma.

Disparities in grant funding for Chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsThis study has demonstrated that over the last 10 years, CRS is disproportionately underfunded (∼$75 million) compared to other similarly prevalent chronic diseases such as asthma (∼$8.3 billion), diabetes (∼$47.2 billion), and dementia (∼$16.7 billion). We feel this justifies further research into identifying and reducing barriers to obtaining grant support for CRS.

Surgical treatment is effective in severe cases of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction: A follow-up study.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgery is an effective treatment in severe cases of supraglottic exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (E-ILO). Conservatively treated subjects and subjects tested negative for E-ILO, who still experience breathing problems 1-3 years after diagnosis, tend to adjust their physical activity to a greater extent than surgically treated subjects.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate how symptoms and level of physical activity change over time in patients with E-ILO who have undergone surgery, patients with E-ILO treated conservatively and patients who tested negative for laryngeal obstruction at continuous laryngoscopy...
