Importance of slow vital capacity in the detection of airway obstruction

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2013
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of airway obstruction by determining the FEV1/FVC and FEV1/slow vital capacity (SVC) ratios. METHODS: This was a quantitative, retrospective cross-sectional study.

Neural crest-specific loss of Bmp7 leads to midfacial hypoplasia, nasal airway obstruction and disordered breathing, modeling obstructive sleep apnea

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a relatively common sleep-related breathing disorder affecting ∼1-5% of children, is often caused by anatomical obstruction and/or collapse of the nasal and/or pharyngeal airways.

Risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children: state of the art [PDF]

, 2019
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) represents only part of a large group of pathologies of variable entity called respiratory sleep disorders (RSD) which include simple snoring and increased upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS).

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Negative pressure pulmonary oedema following use of ProSeal LMA

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2013
Negative pressure pulmonary oedema (NPPO) is a life threatening condition, manifested due to upper airway obstruction in a spontaneously breathing patient. Upper airway obstruction caused by classic laryngeal mask airway (cLMA) and ProSeal laryngeal mask

Lung function in Lolland‐Falster Health Study (LOFUS)

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2022
Background COPD prevalence in Denmark is estimated at 18% based on data from urban populations. However, studies suggest that using the clinical cut‐off for airway obstruction in population studies may overestimate prevalence.

MicroRNA 196a contributes to the aggressiveness of esophageal adenocarcinoma through the MYC/TERT/NFκB axis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
mir‐196a promotes Esophagus Adenocarcinoma aggressiveness. On one hand, mir‐196a targets the valosin‐containing protein (VCP) mRNA, causing the accumulation of c‐MYC protein that leads to high amounts of TERT. On the other hand, mir‐196a targets the inhibitor of NFκB (NFKBIA).

Challenges in diagnosis and management of central airway obstruction: Case series

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Central airway obstruction often presents with respiratory symptoms identical to those of common respiratory diseases. Diagnosis of central airway obstruction is challenging in clinical practice, especially misdiagnosed as asthma or chronic obstructive ...

Upper airways obstruction [PDF]

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2000
The tongue falling backwards and blocking the nasopharynx is the commonest cause of upper airway obstruction. However, it may be due to blood, vomit, oedema, or trauma. The mouth should be inspected and any foreign material removed manually or by suction. There are three manoeuvres to improve upper airway obstruction. 1. Head tilt.

Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes in Conjunction with Roflumilast Ameliorate Chronic Kidney Disease Through the Modulation of Fibrosis and Inflammation

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The novelty of this study showed that the injection of exosomes produced from ADMSCs in combination with Roflumilast poses a more favorable therapeutic outcome for CKD induced by Adriamycin, compared to therapy with exosomes or Roflumilast alone. Roflumilast and exosomes treatment lowered the expression of the apoptotic, fibrotic, and inflammatory ...
