The diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis. [PDF]

, 2010
The syndrome of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) consists of chronic bronchitis (CB), bronchiectasis, emphysema, and reversible airway disease that combine uniquely in an individual patient.

Analysis of Pulsatile Vessel Expansion in Healthy, COPD‐and PH‐Patients Using Dynamic Vessel Segmentation in Free‐Breathing Lung MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The pulsatile expansion of pulmonary vessels carries dynamic cardiopulmonary information that may reveal disease earlier than structural changes alone. Purpose To test (i) intra‐ and inter‐scan repeatability of dynamic vessel metrics in healthy subjects, and (ii) whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and postcapillary

Potential Biomarkers for Disease Stratification and Prognosis Prediction in Pediatric Asthma: LCN2, sST2 and FGF21

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease, where accurate assessment of disease severity and prognosis prediction is crucial for treatment decisions. Currently, there is a lack of precise and effective biomarkers.

PDCD5 Contributes to Airway Epithelial Cell Damage via Mitochondrial Pathway and Participates in COPD Pathogenesis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airway epithelial injury plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in this injury, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. RNA sequencing was conducted to identify key genes involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in airway epithelial

Changes in Pulmonary Arterial Wall Mechanical Properties and Lumenal Architecture with Induced Vascular Remodeling [PDF]

, 2004
To explore and quantify pulmonary arterial remodeling we used various methods including micro-CT, high-resolution 3-dimensional x-ray imaging, to examine the structure and function of intact pulmonary vessels in isolated rat lungs.

Placental‐Derived Connective Tissue Matrix Mediates Murine Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Regeneration

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Placentally derived connective tissue matrix (pd‐CTM) innately contains various neurotrophic, angiogenic, anti‐inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines. In this mouse model of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, we investigate its effects on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) regeneration and reinnervation of the right thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle after ...

Tracheal suctioning improves gas exchange but not hemodynamics in asphyxiated lambs with meconium aspiration. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundCurrent neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend tracheal suctioning of nonvigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.MethodsWe evaluated the effect of tracheal suctioning at birth in 29 lambs with asphyxia induced by ...

Patient‐Reported Outcomes of Palatopharyngeal Surgery Without Tonsillectomy: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Palatopharyngeal surgery without tonsillectomy leads to clinically meaningful improvements in daytime sleepiness and snoring, but patient‐reported outcomes vary markedly by surgical technique. Suture‐based procedures, muscle relocation, cold‐steel approaches, and powered instruments show the largest and durable benefits, with no evidence of effect ...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

The Association Between Allergic Rhinitis, Eosinophilic Inflammation, and Postoperative Recurrence in Nasal Polyps

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although allergic rhinitis (AR) commonly co‐occurs with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), its impact on tissue endotypes and prognosis remains unclear. This study examines the impact of AR on CRSwNP, focusing on its links to tissue eosinophilic inflammation and postoperative recurrence risk.
