Tissue remodelling in chronic bronchial diseases: from the epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype
Airway remodelling is a critical feature of chronic bronchial diseases, characterised by aberrant repair of the epithelium and accumulation of fibroblasts, which contribute to extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition resulting in fixed bronchial obstruction.

A transcriptome-driven analysis of epithelial brushings and bronchial biopsies to define asthma phenotypes in U-BIOPRED [PDF]
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease driven by diverse immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. We used transcriptomic profiling of airway tissues to help define asthma phenotypes. METHODS: The transcriptome from bronchial biopsies

Effects of brake wear nanoparticles on the protection and repair functions of the airway epithelium [PDF]
Long term exposure to particulate air pollution is known to increase respiratory morbidity and mortality. In urban areas with dense traffic most of these particles are generated by vehicles, via engine exhaust or wear processes. Non-exhaust particles come from wear processes such as those concerning brakes and their toxicity is little studied.

Health Effects of Ozone on Respiratory Diseases
Ozone is known to cause bronchial inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness via oxidative injury and inflammation. While other ambient air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide showed decreasing trends in mean annual ...

Imaging diagnosis-computed tomography of traction bronchiectasis secondary to pulmonary fibrosis in a Patterdale Terrier [PDF]
An 8-year-old, Patterdale terrier was referred for evaluation of tachypnoea, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. Computed tomographic images showed pneumomediastinum, diffuse pulmonary ground glass opacity, and marked dilatation of peripheral bronchi,

Clinicoradiological Profile of Endobronchial Tuberculosis: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that causes severe mortality and morbidity worldwide, including India. Endobronchial Tuberculosis (EBTB) is an uncommon form of TB, which is often underdiagnosed due to the difficulty in diagnosis.
