The influence of sex, allergic rhinitis, and test system on nasal sensitivity to airborne irritants: a pilot studyD Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94804, USA
Environ Health Perspect 109:15-9. 2001..05). The question of population variation in nasal irritant sensitivity (as well as the generalizability of results across test compounds) deserves further attention...
Real-time monitoring of nasal mucosal pH during carbon dioxide stimulation: implications for stimulus dynamicsD Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94804, USA
Chem Senses 28:595-601. 2003..01). These data imply that variability in CO(2) detection thresholds and suprathreshold rating may derive from intrinsic differences in neural sensitivity, rather than differences in stimulus activation to hydrogen ion...
Influence of age, gender, and allergy status on nasal reactivity to inhaled chlorineDennis Shusterman
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA
Inhal Toxicol 15:1179-89. 2003..The rhinitis effect was consistent with prior observations, whereas the effect of advancing age was opposite to that hypothesized...
Differences in nasal irritant sensitivity by age, gender, and allergic rhinitis statusDennis Shusterman
Upper Airway Biology Laboratory, University of California, San Francisco, 1301 South 46th Street, Building 112, Richmond, California 94804, USA
Int Arch Occup Environ Health 76:577-83. 2003..We hypothesized that younger subjects, women, and allergic rhinitis sufferers would display lower sensory thresholds than would older subjects, men, and rhinitis non-sufferers...
Chlorine inhalation produces nasal congestion in allergic rhinitics without mast cell degranulationD Shusterman
Dept of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA
Eur Respir J 21:652-7. 2003..However, unlike nasal allergen challenge, the mechanism of response to chlorine does not appear to involve mast cell degranulation...
Toxicology of nasal irritantsDennis Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Upper Airway Biology Laboratory, University of California, San Francisco, 1301 S 46th Street, Bldg 112, Richmond, CA 94804, USA
Curr Allergy Asthma Rep 3:258-65. 2003..The spectrum of irritant-related upper airway health effects is reviewed in this article...
Cholinergic blockade does not alter the nasal congestive response to irritant provocationDennis Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, USA
Rhinology 40:141-6. 2002..To understand the mechanism underlying the nasal congestive response to irritant challenge...
Review of the upper airway, including olfaction, as mediator of symptomsDennis Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
Environ Health Perspect 110:649-53. 2002..This article is a summary of the knowledge and theories about these various conditions, and highlights those aspects of nasal anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to their understanding...
Individual factors in nasal chemesthesisDennis Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California San Francisco, USA
Chem Senses 27:551-64. 2002..In general, interindividual variability has been an under-studied phenomenon...
Odor-associated health complaints: competing explanatory modelsD Shusterman
Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University of California, San Francisco 94804, USA
Chem Senses 26:339-43. 2001..Some of these imputed mechanisms fall under the traditional scope of toxicology and others involve attitudinal and/or behavioral responses to odors...
Nasal physiological reactivity of subjects with nonallergic rhinitis to cold air provocation: a pilot comparison of subgroupsDENNIS J SHUSTERMAN
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Am J Rhinol Allergy 23:475-9. 2009..We compared NINAR subjects with predominantly physical or chemical triggers versus normal controls with respect to subjective (symptomatic) and objective (obstructive) responses to cold, dry air challenge...
Pilot evaluation of the nasal nitric oxide response to humming as an index of osteomeatal patencyDENNIS J SHUSTERMAN
University of California, San Francisco, California, USA
Am J Rhinol Allergy 26:123-6. 2012..We hypothesized that the nasal NO response to humming will be proportional to radiographic osteomeatal patency when comparing allergic rhinitis (AR) patients (without chronic sinusitis) with normal controls...
