Blockade of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and CRTH2 attenuates airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]
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 ...

Correlation Analysis between Airway Volume and Risk of Sleep Apnea/Periodontitis
Objectives: Sleep apnea and periodontitis have high incidences in general population. They share common risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and aging. As cone-beam computed tomography becomes popular in dentistry, airway analysis is very accessible to

Comparison of Forced Oscillometric Technique and Spirometry in Stable Asthmatic Patients in Central India: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Asthma is an airway disease, the diagnosis of this disease still continues to be a clinical based. Although, there are several tests that can be useful for asthma, but no one can be considered as a standard test and search for better ...

Relationship between pre-anesthetic and intra-anesthetic airway resistance in patients undergoing general anesthesia: A prospective observational study. [PDF]
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
