Relationship of Airway Wall Thickness to Airway Sensitivity and Airway Reactivity in Asthma

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003
Abstract Airway wall thickening has been assumed to cause airway hyperresponsiveness, but a protective effect against airway narrowing has also been suggested. We investigated the relationship between airway wall thickness as assessed by helical computed tomography and two components of airway responsiveness, airway sensitivity and ...

Airway remodeling in asthma: what really matters

Cell and Tissue Research, 2017
Airway remodeling is generally quite broadly defined as any change in composition, distribution, thickness, mass or volume and/or number of structural components observed in the airway wall of patients relative to healthy individuals.

A is for airway

BMJ, 2010
A 61 year old man was referred to our outpatient department because of breathlessness. He was able to walk only 50 metres before having to stop to catch his breath. He denied any chest pain or cough. In the 1980s he had fallen down a lift shaft, which had caused substantial trauma.

Difficult Airway Society 2015 guidelines for management of unanticipated difficult intubation in adults

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015
These guidelines provide a strategy to manage unanticipated difficulty with tracheal intubation. They are founded on published evidence. Where evidence is lacking, they have been directed by feedback from members of the Difficult Airway Society and based

Difficult Airway Society 2025 guidelines for management of unanticipated difficult tracheal intubation in adults.

British Journal of Anaesthesia
Advances in our understanding and practice of airway management necessitate contemporary guidelines for tracheal intubation. The Difficult Airway Society (DAS) therefore produced recommendations to improve the efficacy and safety of tracheal intubation ...

Bidirectional interaction of airway epithelial remodeling and inflammation in asthma.

Clinical science, 2020
Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that has long been viewed predominately as an inflammatory condition. Accordingly, current therapeutic interventions focus primarily on resolving inflammation.

Prevalence and risk factors of small airway dysfunction, and association with smoking, in China: findings from a national cross-sectional study.

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Small airway dysfunction is a common but neglected respiratory abnormality. Little is known about its prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic factors in China or anywhere else in the world.

Airway edema potentiates airway reactivity

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1995
Thickening of the airway wall has been hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms contributing to airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. If such thickening of the wall is internal to the airway smooth muscle or otherwise causes a decrease in baseline airway caliber, it should also cause exaggerated airway responsiveness.

Combined airways: impact of upper airway on lower airway

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2010
This article reviews recent literature on the important relationship between the nose, paranasal sinuses and lungs. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the association between upper and lower airways are discussed.Epidemiological, clinical, and immunopathological data demonstrate an important link ...
