Primary ciliary dyskinesia in children [PDF]

open access: yesJornal de Pediatria, 2000
OBJECTIVES: To point out primary ciliary dyskinesia as a cause of chronic respiratory disease in children.METHODS: A 10 year literature review on Medline and by direct research about the subject.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a disorder characterized by an abnormal mucociliary clearance.

Temporal Stability of Ciliary Beating Post Nasal Brushing, Modulated by Storage Temperature

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a heterogeneous, inherited motile ciliopathy in which respiratory cilia beat abnormally, and some ultrastructural ciliary defects and specific genetic mutations have been associated with particular ciliary beating ...

Ciliary defects and genetics of primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesPaediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2009
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved structures that play key roles in diverse cell types. Motile cilia are involved in the most prominent ciliopathy called primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) that combines respiratory symptoms, male infertility, and, in nearly 50% cases, situs inversus.

Alternative inert gas washout outcomes in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The lung clearance index (LCI) derived from a nitrogen multiple breath washout test (N2-MBW) is a promising tool to assess small airways disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia, but it is difficult to apply in routine clinical settings because of its long ...

The Emerging Genetics of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2011
Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive, rare, genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by oto-sino-pulmonary disease together with situs abnormalities (Kartagener syndrome) owing to abnormal ciliary structure and function.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: a national expert consensus statement on standards of care

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically and clinically diverse disorder characterised by loss of normal ciliary function leading to chronic oto-sino pulmonary disease, situs abnormalities and subfertility in men and women.

Respiratory profile of pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation studied by oscillometry – A TRANSPIRE cohort

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
These are results from a multi‐center collaboration between four large pediatric institutions, investigating baseline respiratory system function in a cohort of children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This manuscript proposes respiratory oscillometry as a novel way to prospectively follow lung function in these children.

Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

Primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disease with an incidence estimated between 1:2,000 and 1:40,000. Ciliated epithelia line the airways, nasal and sinus cavities, Eustachian tube and fallopian tubes.
