Upper airway resistance during use of a laryngeal mask airway is flow-dependent and dominated by the laryngeal resistance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring use of a laryngeal mask airway, resistance of the device and larynx contribute to the upper airway resistance. Detailed understanding of this combined resistance is crucial to support spontaneously breathing patients appropriately or to take the ...

Bronchial thermoplasty reduces airway resistance. [PDF]
Respir Res, 2020 Abstract Background The mechanism for symptomatic improvement after bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is unclear, since spirometry reveals little or no change. In this study, the effects of BT on airway resistance were examined using two independent techniques.

Airway from an Orthodontic Perspective [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 With the change in concepts of orthodontics over the years, the focus today has slowly shifted to airway-centered orthodontics. Several pathological conditions of the craniofacial region both genetic and epigenetic in origin can contribute to nasal and ...

Effect of Dupilumab on Sleep Apnea Severity in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2023 Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) report improved sleep quality after dupilumab, an anti IL4/13 therapy. Concurrent CRS and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cases are not rare, and CRS seemingly raises nasal resistance.

Relationship between pre-anesthetic and intra-anesthetic airway resistance in patients undergoing general anesthesia: A prospective observational study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Surgery patients in Japan undergo routine spirometry testing prior to general anesthesia. The use of a flow sensor during general anesthesia has recently become common. However, it is not certain whether the information derived from flow-volume curves is

Airway Resistance, Airway Conductance, Specific Airway Resistance, and Specific Airway Conductance in Children [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1983 In 82 healthy children and in asthmatic children before and during positive allergen provocation test, airway resistance (Raw), airway conductance (Gaw), specific airway resistance (SRaw), and specific airway conductance (SGaw) were measured by body plethysmography during quiet breathing.

Blockade of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and CRTH2 attenuates airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 Background/Aims Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a key role in Th2-mediated inflammation, both directly by promoting the proliferation of naïve CD4 Th2 cells, and indirectly by activating dendritic ...
