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.

Expression of VPAC1 in a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]

, 2013
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a putative neurotransmitter of the inhibitory non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nervous system and influences the mammalian airway function in various ways.

Impact of Airways Geometry on Transport of Gases to Blood [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Topological structure of bronchial trees affects transport of gases and aerosols in the respiratory system. We start by providing a quantitative assessment of the ability of the alternative tree representations to predict observable geometric and mechanistic characteristics, such as network resistance, dead space volume, and path length.

Effects of omalizumab therapy on allergic rhinitis: a pilot study [PDF]

, 2016
The use of omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody able to binding Ig-E, is currently authorized only for treatment of severe bronchial asthma. The use of omalizumab in other Ig-E related diseases is off-label, although some studies have provided ...

Environmental toxicity, redox signaling and lung inflammation:the role of glutathione [PDF]

, 2009
Glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant thiol and is central to redox defense during oxidative stress.

A MicroRNA Network Dysregulated in Asthma Controls IL-6 Production in Bronchial Epithelial Cells

PLoS ONE, 2014
MicroRNAs are short non-coding single stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression. While much is known about the effects of individual microRNAs, there is now growing evidence that they can work in co-operative networks.

Bronchial asthma is associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2014
BackgroundBronchial asthma influences some chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, but the impact of asthma on vital diseases such as chronic kidney disease is not yet verified. This study aims to clarify the

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.
