Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult

Inflammatory cytokines can be monitored in exhaled breath particles following segmental and inhalation endotoxin challenge in healthy volunteers

Scientific Reports, 2022
Particles in exhaled air (PEx) are generated when collapsed small airways reopen during breathing. PEx can be noninvasively collected by particle impaction, allowing the analysis of undiluted epithelial lining fluid (ELF).

A Multidomain Approach to Assessing the Convergent and Concurrent Validity of a Mobile Application When Compared to Conventional Methods of Determining Body Composition

Sensors, 2020
Determining body composition via mobile application may circumvent limitations of conventional methods. However, the accuracy of many technologies remains unknown. This investigation assessed the convergent and concurrent validity of a mobile application

Airway wall remodeling in asthma : novel mechanisms of human bronchial smooth muscle cells in the induction of angiogenesis [PDF]

, 2014
Asthma is a global major health concern and it affects estimated 300 million people. The prevalence of asthma is rising and there is no cure for asthma, only the symptoms can be controlled.

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Tips and Tricks to Improve Videolaryngoscopy Skills

Airway, 2021
Videolaryngoscopes (VLSs) are a promising addition to the difficult airway management armamentarium. These devices utilise video-camera technology to visualise airway structures on a monitor and facilitate endotracheal intubation.

Metformin reduces airway glucose permeability and hyperglycaemia-induced Staphylococcus aureus load independently of effects on blood glucose [PDF]

, 2013
Background Diabetes is a risk factor for respiratory infection, and hyperglycaemia is associated with increased glucose in airway surface liquid and risk of Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Comparison between McGrath and Macintosh Laryngoscopes as an Educational Tool for Successful Intubation by Novice Airway Managers: A Randomised Cross-over Manikin-based Trial

Airway, 2021
Background: The Macintosh (MAC) laryngoscope has been the gold standard for teaching intubation till date. This manikin-based study was conducted to determine whether McGrath™ videolaryngoscope (VL) (McG) is comparable to MAC laryngoscope as an ...

Comparison of Intravenous versus Nebulised Lignocaine for Suppression of Haemodynamic Responses to Tracheal Intubation

Airway, 2021
Background: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are noxious stimuli associated with transient haemodynamic changes which can be deleterious, especially in patients with cardiovascular or intracranial disease.

The contribution of airway smooth muscle to airway narrowing and airway hyperresponsiveness in disease [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2000
Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), the exaggerated response to constrictor agonists in asthmatic subjects, is incompletely understood. Changes in either the quantity or properties of airway smooth muscle (ASM) are possible explanations for AHR. Morphometric analyses demonstrate structural changes in asthmatic airways, including subepithelial fibrosis ...
