Vocal cord dysfunction: an often misdiagnosed condition

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2018
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is the abnormal adduction of the vocal cords during inspiration or expiration that results in varying degrees of airway obstruction.

Smoking in asthma is associated with elevated levels of corticosteroid resistant sputum cytokines—an exploratory study [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: Current cigarette smoking is associated with reduced acute responses to corticosteroids and worse clinical outcomes in stable chronic asthma. The mechanism by which current smoking promotes this altered behavior is currently unclear.

Disease Remission: A Scoping Review With Thematic Analysis of the Scientific Literature With Implications for Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Remission, a term used to describe a goal of treatment for some chronic diseases, has recently been proposed for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, it is unclear what remission means for CRS and why it should serve as a goal in the present‐day treatment of CRS.

Therapeutic alternatives with CPAP in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), characterized by airflow cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) due to repeated pharyngeal obstructions during sleep, causes frequent disruption of sleep and hypoxic events. The condition is linked to many adverse health

Lung maneuvers of large amplitudes for probing physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Lung maneuvers of small amplitudes, such as the ones performed in oscillometry, are the current gold standard to probe lung mechanics in animals, but they are insensitive to detect baseline physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma. Herein, lung maneuvers of different amplitudes were compared in two mouse models of asthma.

Phase 2 trial of montelukast for prevention of pain in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

, 2020
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are lipid mediators of inflammation. In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), levels of CysLTs are increased compared with controls and associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for pain. We tested the hypothesis
