Diagnosis and Treatment of Lymphatic Plastic Bronchitis in Adults Using Advanced Lymphatic Imaging and Percutaneous Embolization.

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2016
RATIONALE Plastic bronchitis is a condition characterized by expectoration of branching bronchial casts. Although the mechanism of cast formation in adults with plastic bronchitis remains poorly understood, abnormal pulmonary lymphatic flow resulting in ...

Muscle and mucous gland size in the major bronchi of patients with chronic bronchitis, asthma, and asthmatic bronchitis.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Mucous gland size and the amount of muscle in the bronchi were measured in 7 patients with typical chronic bronchitis, 4 patients with chronic bronchitis and attacks of wheezing (chronic asthmatic bronchitis), and 3 patients with classic spasmodic asthma.

Bronchial hyperreactivity in chronic obstructive bronchitis.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis commonly suffer acute, transient exacerbations, which suggests that episodic bronchoconstriction may play a role in this disease.

Effects of postural drainage, exercise, and cough on mucus clearance in chronic bronchitis.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
The effects of postural drainage, exercise, and cough on mucus clearance were compared in 8 patients with chronic bronchitis. A bolus of 99mTc albumin aerosol was inhaled at a high inspiratory flow rate to enhance proximal deposition.

Comparisons of asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis diagnoses in a general population sample.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
This report is an analysis of cases of obstructive lung disease diagnosed during the first 8 yr of a community study. Of 351 subjects who received a new diagnosis of asthma, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis from community physicians, 152 (44.5%) had a ...

Bronchitis (acute).

Clinical evidence, 2005
Acute bronchitis affects over 40/1000 adults a year in the UK. The causes are usually considered to be infective, but only around half of people have identifiable pathogens. The role of smoking or of environmental tobacco smoke inhalation in predisposing to acute bronchitis is unclear.

Plastic bronchitis

The Laryngoscope, 1986
AbstractPlastic bronchitis is an uncommon disease of children characterized by the formation of long, branching bronchial casts. Of three children with such bronchial casts, one developed status asthmaticus and coughed out a complete cast of the tracheobronchial tree. One other child also had a course of desensitization for allergies.

Goblet cells in the peripheral airways in chronic bronchitis.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
It was not possible to demonstrate an increase in the proportion of goblet cells in the bronchioles of patients with chronic bronchitis and no emphysema, whereas other lesions, such as mucous gland hyperplasia, airway narrowing, and airway mucus were ...
