8 Citations | These results indicate that sniffing causes tympanic membrane retraction. |
75 Citations | Indeed, coughing appears to be protective, reducing pepsin concentration in the larger airways of patients with chronic cough. |
542 Citations | Structural and inflammatory airway mucosal changes in non-asthmatic chronic cough could represent the cause or the traumatic response to repetitive coughing. |
Open access•Journal Article 41 Citations | Coughing can be reflexly induced in man by reducing the chloride ion content of airway surface lining liquid (ASL). |
| Our findings suggest that paroxysmal coughing could account for such bleeding in some cases. | |
63 Citations | If combined with environmental or endogenous cough triggers, the cough reflex sensitization is predicted to cause excessive coughing. |
20 Citations | These results suggest that coughing occurs in both temporal and extratemporal lobe epilepsy and may only be indicative of temporal lobe seizure onset if representing a regular semiologic element. |
18 Citations | We suspect that the VPC-induced hemodynamic changes in the pulmonary circulation might be responsible for coughing in our patient. |
92 Citations | Our findings suggest that airway inflammation associated with chronic cough, assessed on morphologic appearance and inflammatory cell counting in hematoxylin-eosin-prepared samples, may be due to the trauma of coughing, and the inflammation may be similar to that seen with diseases putatively thought to cause chronic cough. |

What are the audiological findings in disorders of the tympanic membrane?5 answersAudiological findings in disorders of the tympanic membrane vary based on the specific condition. Retraction was the most common abnormality observed, with Grade I retraction being the most prevalent, followed by Tympanosclerosis. In cases of tensor tympani contraction, a low frequency mixed hearing loss was noted, with increased air conduction thresholds at 250 Hz by 22 dB and bone conduction thresholds by 10 dB. Patients with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration exhibited sensorineural hearing loss or auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder in 77% of cases. Additionally, patients with conductive hearing loss and intact tympanic membranes may require exploratory tympanotomy for accurate diagnosis and treatment, often revealing stapedial fixation as a common pathology.
Can epiretinal membrane cause headaches?4 answersEpiretinal membrane (ERM) primarily affects the retina, leading to vision issues like distortion and loss. While ERM is associated with visual symptoms, there is no direct evidence linking it to headaches in the provided contexts. ERM is commonly asymptomatic or causes mild visual disturbances. Studies focus on genetic associations, prevalence, surgical treatments, and risks of ERM, without mentioning headaches as a symptom or complication. Therefore, based on the available data, there is no indication that ERM directly causes headaches. Symptoms of ERM typically revolve around vision problems rather than headaches, suggesting that other factors may be responsible for headache occurrences.
What are the different mechanisms that lead to otitis media?5 answersOtitis media (OM) can be caused by various mechanisms. The pathogenesis of OM involves the interplay between infectious pathogens, host immunological status, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition. Otopathogens utilize host mucin production, phase variation, biofilm production, glycans, and neutrophil and eosinophilic extracellular traps to induce OM. Development of OM requires nasopharyngeal colonization by pathogens, overcoming the defense mechanisms of the immune system and middle ear mucosa. Complex interactions among bacteria, viruses, inflammatory cells, immune cells, and epithelial cells contribute to OM. Moraxella catarrhalis, a leading causative agent of OM, possesses multiple virulence factors that can activate host immune responses. These mechanisms collectively contribute to the development and progression of OM.
What are the most common causes of headache and cough?5 answersThe most common causes of headache and cough include primary cough headache, primary exercise headache, and secondary cough headache. Primary cough headache is characterized by an immediate headache that occurs with coughing, sneezing, straining, or other Valsalva maneuvers. Primary exercise headache, on the other hand, occurs with exertional effort and is often bilateral and pulsatile. Secondary cough headache is usually associated with structural lesions, such as Chiari malformation type I, and presents with posterior fossa symptoms/signs. Other causes of secondary cough headache include miscellaneous posterior fossa pathology, carotid or vertebrobasilar disease, and cerebral aneurysms. It is important to note that diagnostic neuroimaging is crucial in identifying the underlying cause of cough-related headache.
