Detecting Alterations in Pulmonary Airway Development with Airway-by-Airway Comparison [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2011 Neonatal and postnatal exposures to air pollutants have adverse effects on lung development resulting in airway structure changes. Usually, generation-averaged analysis of airway geometric parameters is employed to differentiate between pulmonary airway trees.

Alteration of cystic airway mesenchyme in congenital pulmonary airway malformation. [PDF]
, 2019 Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is the most common congenital lesion detected in the neonatal lung, which may lead to respiratory distress, infection, and pneumothorax.

Reduced Local Response to Corticosteroids in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Asthma
Biomolecules, 2020 Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), a subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, is recognized as a refractory eosinophilic disorder characterized by both upper and lower airway inflammation.

Airway Resistance, Airway Conductance, Specific Airway Resistance, and Specific Airway Conductance in Children [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1983 In 82 healthy children and in asthmatic children before and during positive allergen provocation test, airway resistance (Raw), airway conductance (Gaw), specific airway resistance (SRaw), and specific airway conductance (SGaw) were measured by body plethysmography during quiet breathing.

On the Role of Mechanics in Chronic Lung Disease. [PDF]
, 2013 Progressive airflow obstruction is a classical hallmark of chronic lung disease, affecting more than one fourth of the adult population. As the disease progresses, the inner layer of the airway wall grows, folds inwards, and narrows the lumen.

Lower airway dysbiosis affects lung cancer progression.
Cancer Discovery, 2020 In lung cancer, enrichment of the lower airway microbiota with oral commensals commonly occurs and ex vivo models support that some of these bacteria can trigger host transcriptomic signatures associated with carcinogenesis. Here, we show that this lower

TGF-β1 Activates Nasal Fibroblasts through the Induction of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Biomolecules, 2020 (1) Background: Tissue remodeling and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper airway.

Airway Inflammation and Airway Hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
, 2021 Airway inflammation is a complex inflammatory process of airways involving the contribution of various cells, recruited and activated in asthmatic conditions, and the mediators released by them. However, major components contributing to this inflammation are eosinophils, mast cells, and lymphocytes.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]
, 2013 Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...
