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 ...

Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
, 2019 The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...

Airway Remodeling in Asthma: Tumor of the Airway? [PDF]
Respiration, 2013 properties and the therapy has been shown to have an acute and sustained beneficial effect on lung function (changes in FEV 1 ) in chronic persistent asthma [6] . Antileukotrienes do not have major side effects and appear to be well tolerated by most patients [7] , but a limitation of their widespread use may be due to the large percentage of ...

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.

Patterns of recruitment and injury in a heterogeneous airway network model [PDF]
, 2015 In respiratory distress, lung airways become flooded with liquid and may collapse due to surface-tension forces acting on air-liquid interfaces, inhibiting gas exchange.

Impending Total Airway Collapse Involving a Maxillary Removable Partial Denture: A Clinical Report [PDF]
, 2018 This article presents a rare incident of a bilateral maxillary removable partial denture as an airway foreign body. The removable partial denture and the surrounding soft tissue irritation caused partial obstruction of the airway.

Tensin1 expression and function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
, 2019 open access articleChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Genome wide association studies have shown significant associations between airflow obstruction or COPD with a non-synonymous SNP in ...
