MULTISCALE MODELING OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT [PDF]
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2010 We propose here a decomposition of the respiratory tree into three stages which correspond to different mechanical models. The resulting system is described by the Navier–Stokes equation coupled with an ODE (a simple spring model) representing the motion of the thoracic cage. We prove that this problem has at least one solution locally in time for any

Acute Respiratory Tract Infections and How to Treat Them [PDF]
, 2019 Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) are one of the most common clinical encounters in primary care settings and they often lead to antibiotic prescriptions. However, more than 90% of ARTIs are caused by viral syndromes.

Clinical features of pneumonia in extreme old age [PDF]
, 1995 The clinical features of 70 people over the age of 85 with radiologically positive pneumonia were studied. It was shown that the classical presenting symptoms of pneumonia were often absent and 81 % had one or more acute ’geriatric’ features such as ...

Viral-Bacterial Co-infections in the Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Tract
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 A majority of the morbidity and mortality associated with the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is due to lung disease resulting from chronic respiratory infections. The CF airways become chronically colonized with bacteria in childhood, and over time

Infection of swine ex vivo tissues with avian viruses including H7N9 and correlation with glycomic analysis [PDF]
, 2013 OBJECTIVES: Swine have been regarded as intermediate hosts in the spread of influenza from birds to humans but studies of the sialylated glycans that comprise their respiratory tract have not been extensively studied in the past.

A newly discovered human pneumovirus isolated from young children with respiratory tract disease
Nature Network Boston, 2001 From 28 young children in the Netherlands, we isolated a paramyxovirus that was identified as a tentative new member of the Metapneumovirus genus based on virological data, sequence homology and gene constellation.
