Airway segmentation from 3D chest CT volumes based on volume of interest using gradient vector flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Some lung diseases are related to bronchial airway structures and morphology. Although airway segmentation from chest CT volumes is an important task in the computer-aided diagnosis and surgery assistance systems for the chest, complete 3-D airway structure segmentation is a quite challenging task due to its complex tree-like structure.

Airway and peripheral urokinase plasminogen activator receptor is elevated in asthma, and identifies a severe, nonatopic subset of patients [PDF]
, 2016 Rationale: Genetic polymorphisms in the asthma susceptibility gene, urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR/PLAUR) have been associated with lung function decline and uPAR blood levels in asthma subjects.

Allergy, EarlyView.Fourteen genes, mainly encoding keratins, were commonly differentially expressed in both allergic and non‐allergic individuals after nasal provocation with birch pollen. The nasal provocation in birch pollen‐allergic individuals led to activation of innate immune pathways within 15–30 min and proliferation‐regulatory pathways within 60–120 min.

IMMUNOLOGICAL MARKERS OF UNCONTROLLED ATOPIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN CHILDREN
Медицинская иммунология, 2017 Bronchial asthma is a prevalent chronic allergic disease of lungs at early ages. A priority task in allergology is to search biological markers related to uncontrolled atopic bronchial asthma.

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Bronchial asthma and airway remodeling markers
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013 Asthma is an inflammatory disease with extracellular matrix remodeling and collagen deposition. Vascular alterations have been suggested to contribute to airway hyper responsiveness.

A Wearable IoT Aldehyde Sensor for Pediatric Asthma Research and Management [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Mechanistic studies of pediatric asthma require objective measures of environmental exposure metrics correlated with physiological responses. Here we report a cloud-based wearable IoT sensor system which can measure an asthma patient's exposure to aldehydes, a known class of airway irritants, in real-life settings.

Allergy, EarlyView.We uncover an unprecedented role for IgE in CD. CD patients, regardless of allergic status and similar to allergic patients, display higher levels of circulating IgE+ and FcεRI+ immune cells, including pDCs, which are concomitant to fewer Tregs. In vitro experiments show that the anti‐IgE monoclonal antibody omalizumab restores the ability of pDCs from
