A METHOD FOR THE DEMONSTRATION OF CALIBRE CHANGES IN THE BRONCHI IN NORMAL RESPIRATION [PDF]
An investigation of the literature indicates that changes occurring in the calibre of the bronchi during the normal respiratory movements have never been demonstrated.

In vivo endoscopic autofluorescence microspectro-imaging of bronchi and alveoli [PDF]
Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) is a new technique that can be used during a bronchoscopy to analyze the nature of the human bronchial and alveolar mucosa fluorescence microstructure. An endoscopic fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy system with spectroscopic analysis capability was developed allowing real-time, simultaneous images

Towards the modeling of mucus draining from human lung: role of airways deformation on air-mucus interaction [PDF]
Chest physiotherapy is an empirical technique used to help secretions to get out of the lung whenever stagnation occurs. Although commonly used, little is known about the inner mechanisms of chest physiotherapy and controversies about its use are coming out regularly.

The comparison of the lengths and diameters of main bronchi measured from two-dimensional and three-dimensional images in the same patients [PDF]
BackgroundRecently, multi-planar reconstruction of the three-dimensional (3D) spiral chest CT scan has demonstrated superiority in the evaluation of the tracheobronchial tree.

Dynamics of airflow in a short inhalation [PDF]
During a rapid inhalation, such as a sniff, the flow in the airways accelerates and decays quickly. The consequences for flow development and convective trans- port of an inhaled gas were investigated in a subject geometry extending from the nose to the bronchi.

Three-Dimensional Printing Model of Anomalous Bronchi before Surgery
Lung surgeries in patients with bronchial variations have rarely been reported. Here, we describe the case of a patient along with lung cancer with variant anatomy of the right upper lobe bronchus.

Expression and function of human hemokinin-1 in human and guinea pig airways [PDF]
Background Human hemokinin-1 (hHK-1) and endokinins are peptides of the tachykinin family encoded by the TAC4 gene. TAC4 and hHK-1 expression as well as effects of hHK-1 in the lung and airways remain however unknown and were explored in this study ...

Indocyanine green nebulization visualizes the pulmonary bronchus during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery [PDF]
Background Intraoperative tracheobronchial injury is a rare but serious complication of lung surgery. With the increasing number of segmentectomies, surgeons need to locate finer and less easily identified segmental bronchi or even subsegmental bronchi ...
