“…This increase occurred acutely, was measured on the first ventilatory cycle and in most experiments returned to control values within 1 min, suggesting a neurogenic mechanism. In addition, gastric distention, which was present in our patient, has been reported to increase airway tone [16,17]. The picture was, therefore, typical of a response which had been induced by reflex mechanisms.…”

“…Friedland et al (1) did not find any correlation between the presence of hiatal hernia and asthma duration. If OD is the result of asthma one would expect to find a longer asthma history and a more severe asthma in subjects with OD than in those with normal oesophageal function (NF).…”

“…Nor did Kjelltn et al find any difference in asthma duration between adult asthmatics with OD and those with NF, except regarding the frequency of LES hypotension which increased with asthma duration (9). Friedland et al (1) did not find any correlation between the presence of hiatal hernia and asthma duration. In their control patients with cystic fibrosis and chronic cough there was no increased frequency of hiatal hernia.…”

“…Other explanations of the association between bronchial asthma and OD have been proposed, e.g. that a vagally mediated rsflex from the oesophagus to the bronchial tree can elicit bronchospasm (Friedland, Yamate & Marinkovich, 1973 ;Mansfield & Stein, 1978).…”
