Thus the test may also be called a methacholine challengetest or histamine challengetest respectively. Both drugs provoke bronchoconstriction , or narrowing of the airways. Whereas histamine causes nasal and bronchial mucus secretion and bronchoconstriction via the H1 receptor , methacholine utilizes the M3 receptor for bronchoconstriction. The degree of narrowing can then be quantified by spirometry . People with pre existing airway hyperreactivity, such as asthmatics, will react to lower doses of drug. Sometimes, to assess the reversibility of a particular condition, a bronchodilator is administered to counteract the effects of the bronchoconstrictor before repeating the spirometry tests. This is commonly referred to as a reversibility test , or a post bronchodilator test post BD , and may help in distinguishing asthma from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease . False positives and negatives are possible in the bronchialchallengetest. In addition, asthma may be temporary due to an exposure to noxious stimuli or exercise. The bronchialchallengetest is physically demanding, and the results can be affected by muscular weakness or exhaustion. The inhaled drug can stimulate the upper airway sufficiently to cause violent coughing. This can make spirometry difficult or impossible. This test is contraindicated in patients with severe airway obstruction due to the obvious worsening of the obstruction.

The captopril challengetest CCT is a non invasive medical test that measures the change in renin Blood plasma plasma levels in response to administration of captopril , an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor . It is used to assist in the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis . It is not generally considered a useful test for children, ref Gauthier B, Trachtman H, Frank R, Pillari G.

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness or other combinations with airway or hyperreactivity is a state characterised by easily triggered bronchospasm contraction of the bronchioles or small airways . Bronchial hyperresponsiveness can be assessed with a bronchialchallengetest . This most often uses products like methacholine or histamine . These chemicals trigger bronchospasm in normal individuals as well, but people with bronchial hyperresponsiveness have a lower threshold. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a hallmark of asthma but also occurs frequently in people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD . ref name pmid9817744 cite journal author Postma DS, Kerstjens HA title Characteristics of airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease journal Am.

The Challenge Index is a method for the statistical ranking of top public high schools in the United States by Washington Post columnist Jay Mathews . This ranking is determined by the extent of availability of the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs in the school s curriculum and the number of graduating students. For each school, the study tallies the total number of AP and IB exams are taken that year in the high school. This sum is divided by the number of students graduating in that same year. This ratio is the Challenge Index. Not incorporated with the study are magnet schools, or any school that accepts over 50 of its students via a placement test or other type of admission criterion. The study effectively demonstrates the public schools with greatest opportunity for all students to challenge themselves with college level courses. However, critics argue that this ranking system does a disservice by not taking into consideration the actual performance of the student exams, but merely the quantity of exams taken. Administrators of the study acknowledge that the system is not a measurement of the overall quality of the school but illuminates one factor that many educators consider important. Citation needed date December 2007 The validity of the Challenge Index has been strongly criticized by education analysts Andrew J. Rotherham and Sara Mead of Education Sector in Washington, DC.

Progestin challenge , or progesterone withdrawal test is a test used in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in order to evaluate a patient who is experiencing amenorrhea . Due to readily available assays to measure serum estradiol levels, this test is now rarely used. ref cite web url http emedicine.medscape.com article 276110 diagnosis title eMedicine Amenorrhea, Secondary Differential Diagnoses & Workup accessdate 2010 05 02 publisher eMedicine.com ref The test is performed by administering progesterone orally in the form of medroxyprogesterone acetate Provera , or intramuscularly. If the patient has sufficient serum estradiol greater than 50 pg mL then withdrawal bleeding should occur 2 7 days after the progestin is finished, indicating that the patient s amenorrhea is due to anovulation . However, if no bleeding occurs after progesterone withdrawal, then the patient s amenorrhea is likely to be due to either a low serum estradiol, b HPA dysfunction or c a problem with the uterine outflow tract, such as stenosis of uterine cervix cervical stenosis or uterine synechiae Asherman s syndrome . In order to distinguish between hypoestrogenism or a uterine outflow tract problem, estrogen may be administered followed by a course of progestin in order to induce withdrawal bleeding. If the patient experiences withdrawal bleeding with the combined estrogen progestin therapy, then the amenorrhea is likely due to low estrogen. ref cite web url http www.advancedfertility.com progesterone withdrawal test.htm title Progesterone Withdrawal Test accessdate 2010 05 02 publisher Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago ref References reflist Category Female genital procedures ... more details
