Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Patients With Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
Objectives: To determine the number of patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) who have contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the impact of the pandemic on patients’ attitudes on seeking help and attending hospitals, as well as the ...

Detecting Alterations in Pulmonary Airway Development with Airway-by-Airway Comparison [PDF]
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.

Human airway xenograft models of epithelial cell regeneration [PDF]
Regeneration and restoration of the airway epithelium after mechanical, viral or bacterial injury have a determinant role in the evolution of numerous respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis.

Quantification of collagen and proteoglycan deposition in a murine model of airway remodelling [PDF]
Background: Sub- epithelial extracellular matrix deposition is a feature of asthmatic airway remodelling associated with severity of disease, decline in lung function and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Elevated Paracellular Glucose Flux across Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelial Monolayers Is an Important Factor for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Growth. [PDF]
People with cystic fibrosis (CF) who develop related diabetes (CFRD) have accelerated pulmonary decline, increased infection with antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and increased pulmonary exacerbations.

The helminth product, ES-62, protects against airway inflammation by resetting the Th cell phenotype [PDF]
We previously demonstrated inhibition of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic airway hyper-responsiveness in the mouse using ES-62, a phosphorylcholine-containing glycoprotein secreted by the filarial nematode, Acanthocheilonema viteae.

Airway Remodeling in Asthma: Tumor of the Airway? [PDF]
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 ...

Synergistic Exacerbation of Allergic Inflammation by Combined Exposure to Air-Pollutants in a Murine Model of Allergic Rhinitis [PDF]
Objectives Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa triggered by environmental allergens. Although its pathophysiology has been extensively investigated, the influence of environmental aggravating factors—particularly combined
