The KAAACI Standardization Committee Report on the procedure and application of the bronchial provocation tests

open access: yes, 2018
Bronchial provocation tests are of value in the evaluation of airway hyperresponsiveness. Nonspecific bronchial challenge (methacholine, mannitol, exercise, etc.) is used when the symptoms, physical examination, and measurements of pulmonary function are

Bridging the translational gap in clinical nanomedicine: From rational design to clinical reality

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology offers a multi‐faceted approach to modern healthcare, encompassing high‐sensitivity diagnostic imaging, innovative vaccine delivery, and targeted therapeutics. This review explores how these nanomedicine applications address critical challenges in cancer recurrence and the treatment of neurologic and respiratory diseases to combat rising

Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is increased in the bronchial epithelium of allergic asthmatics following allergen provocation.

open access: yes, 2014
Bronchial biopsies were collected during fiberoptic bronchoscopy of allergic asthmatics (n = 9), before (light grey) and 24 hours after allergen provocation (dark grey).

Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Activity of nitric oxide (NO) synthases is increased in the bronchial epithelium of allergic asthmatics following allergen provocation.

open access: yes, 2014
Bronchial biopsies were collected during fiberoptic bronchoscopy of allergic asthmatics (n = 9), before (light grey) and 24 hours after allergen provocation (dark grey). Representative image of the epithelial (Ep) activity of NO synthases was assessed by

Assessment of Allergen-Induced Respiratory Hyperresponsiveness before the Prescription of a Specific Immunotherapy

open access: yesAllergy & Rhinology, 2015
Background Asymptomatic sensitization is a frequent condition that must be considered before the indication of allergic-specific immunotherapy. Objective The aim of this study was to appreciate and correlate the local and spirometric changes elicited by ...

Mixed lineage kinase 3 mediates SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury via the Hsp70‐IL‐17A axis

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Kidney samples from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) showed upregulated expression and activity of Mixed Lineage Kinase (MLK3). Based on the mechanistic studies, we identified MLK3 as a critical player in promoting SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury.

The sensitivity and specificity of the mannitol bronchial challenge test to identify asthma in different populations: a systematic review

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2019
OBJECTIVE Asthma is associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness, assessed by bronchial provocation tests such as the mannitol test. We aimed to assess the data on sensitivity and specificity of the mannitol test in diagnosing asthma.
