Relaxin Reverses Airway Remodeling and Airway Dysfunction in Allergic Airways Disease

Endocrinology, 2009
Mice deficient in the antifibrotic hormone relaxin develop structural changes in the airway that resemble airway remodeling, and demonstrate exaggerated remodeling changes in models of allergic airways disease (AAD). Relaxin expression in asthma has not been previously studied. We evaluated the efficacy of relaxin in the treatment of established airway

Airway mycosis in allergic airway disease

2019
The allergic airway diseases, including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) and many others, comprise a heterogeneous collection of inflammatory disorders affecting the upper and lower airways and lung parenchyma that represent the most common chronic diseases of humanity.

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 ...

Radiology of the airways with emphasis on the small airways

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1986
The anatomy and pathophysiology of obstructive airways diseases are reviewed, with emphasis on the pivotal functional roles of the respiratory and terminal bronchioles. The array of radiologic findings associated with abnormal airways, large or small, is correlated with gross pathologic changes, using surgical and autopsy cases.

Airway Statuses and Nasopharyngeal Airway Use for Airway Obstruction in Syndromic Craniosynostosis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2014
Syndromic craniosynostosis is associated with a high rate of respiratory difficulty, due mainly to midfacial hypoplasia. Nasopharyngeal airway establishment has been reported as the first-line approach to airway obstruction and may obviate the need for a highly invasive tracheotomy.

Airway Stents

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Airway stenting has been well used in the treatment and palliation of patients with malignant stenoses and to a lesser extent in those with benign disease causing airway compromise. Stents are either constructed of silicone or metal, usually a nitinol, a nickel and titanium alloy. The different categories of stents have positive and negative attributes

TRAIL in the Airways

2004
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an important immunomodulatory factor that may play a role in the structural changes observed in the asthmatic airways. In vitro as well as in vivo studies have evidenced a dual role for TRAIL: it can either function as a pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokine on inflammatory cells ...

Airway receptors

Respiration Physiology, 2001
There are many types of afferent receptor in the airways; at least five in the larynx: pressure, drive, cold, irritant and C-fibre; and at least four in the trachea and bronchi: slowly and rapidly adapting stretch receptors (SARs and RARs), C-fibre receptors, and those in neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs). Histologically enough sensory structures have been
