High‐throughput Differential Dynamic Microscopy measures frequency‐resolved mechanical fingerprints from 3 to 10 μL$\umu{\rm L}$ mucus samples using only a few minutes of operator attention per sample. This automated analysis enables scalable mucus phenotyping for translational research by distinguishing mechanical heterogeneity among donors, disease ...

Assessing the Mucosal Inflammatory Endotype of Obesity in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory syndrome of the paranasal sinuses that is defined phenotypically as either with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). More recently, inflammatory markers have been used to cluster patients into putative endotypes that are presumed to have a common ...

Rhinovirus (RV) infection is a major cause of asthma exacerbations which may be due to a deficient innate immune response in the bronchial epithelium. We hypothesized that the pleiotropic cytokine, TGF-?, influences interferon (IFN) production by primary

RhoA, a Possible Target for Treatment of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Bronchial Asthma
.: Airway hyperresponsiveness to nonspecific stimuli is one of the characteristic features of allergic bronchial asthma. An elevated contractility of bronchial smooth muscle has been considered as one of the causes of the airway hyperresponsiveness.

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.
