Relationship between concavity of the flow-volume loop and small airway measures in smokers with normal spirometry

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background There is increasing evidence of small airway abnormalities in smokers despite normal spirometry. The concavity in the descending limb of the maximum expiratory flow curve (MEFV) is a recognised feature of obstruction and can provide ...

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 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.

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.

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 ...

HFA-BDP Metered-Dose Inhaler Exhaled Through the Nose Improves Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Bronchial Asthma: A Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background: Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in Japanese. ECRS highly associated with asthma is a refractory eosinophilic airway inflammation and requires comprehensive care as part of ...

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 ...

Effect of Air Pollutants on Allergic Inflammation in Structural Cells of the Nasal Mucosa [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology
Objectives. Air pollution is an increasing global concern, and its effect on allergic inflammation has attracted the attention of many researchers. Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution, and heavy metals are the primary ...

Airway and Ventilation Management for Excision of Recurrent Bronchogenic Cyst Followed by Removal of Metallic Bronchial Stent in a Child

Airway, 2021
Conventional lung isolation is at times not possible as was the case with our child who had a migrated bronchial stent. The Cook® airway exchange catheter was used as a backup for oxygenation/ventilation in case of the stent getting stuck during its ...
