Bronchial Provocation Test

Douglas M. Templeton, Michael Schwenk, Reinhild Klein et al. · IUPAC Standards Online · 2016

The primary objective of this “Glossary of Terms Used in Immunotoxicology” is to give clear definitions for those who contribute to studies relevant to immunotoxicology but are not themselves immunologists. This applies especially to chemists who need to understand the literature of immunology without recourse to a multiplicity of other glossaries or dictionaries. The glossary includes terms related to basic and clinical immunology insofar as they are necessary for a self-contained document, and particularly terms related to diagnosing, measuring, and understanding effects of substances on the immune system. The glossary consists of about 1200 terms as primary alphabetical entries, and Annexes of common abbreviations, examples of chemicals with known effects on the immune system, autoantibodies in autoimmune disease, and therapeutic agents used in autoimmune disease and cancer. The authors hope that among the groups who will find this glossary helpful, in addition to chemists, are toxicologists, pharmacologists, medical practitioners, risk assessors, and regulatory authorities. In particular, it should facilitate the worldwide use of chemistry in relation to occupational and environmental risk assessment.

Histamine nasal provocation test

Paul Van de Heyning, J van Haesendonck, W. L. Creten et al. · Allergy · 1989

This study is a methodological approach to histamine nasal provocation. The test uses active anterior rhinomanometry and a histamine titration method, challenging both nasal cavities with a metered dose pump. It has been confirmed that the histamine nasal provocation test can differentiate between controls and non-allergic rhinitis patients. This study shows, moreover, that the method is more sensitive in assessing response to histamine provocation when a 25% increase of post-saline nasal airway resistance (PD25) is considered than a PD50 or PD100 criterion. The histamine response, was found to be independent of the baseline nasal airway resistance value. Pronounced unilateral responsiveness was frequently noticed. Both nasal cavities should be challenged and the most reactive side considered.

Plantar Plate Provocation Test

José Antônio Veiga Sanhudo · Foot & Ankle Specialist · 2014

By virtue of their anatomic proximity, plantar plate lesions are often mistaken for Morton’s neuropathy, and as the treatment of these entities is quite different, accurate differential diagnosis is paramount. Furthermore, both lesions may occur concomitantly, and surgical treatment of only one condition will lead to only partial improvement of symptoms. This report describes a clinical finding that can assist in the specific identification of plantar plate lesion, particularly in the early stages, when diagnosis is most challenging. All the patients with positive provocative test had a positive MRI for plantar plate lesion (Figure 1), and those who underwent surgery had the lesion confirmed during the procedure.
