The microbiome of the upper respiratory tract in health and disease [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2019 AbstractThe human upper respiratory tract (URT) offers a variety of niches for microbial colonization. Local microbial communities are shaped by the different characteristics of the specific location within the URT, but also by the interaction with both external and intrinsic factors, such as ageing, diseases, immune responses, olfactory function, and ...

Non‐Invasive Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by Breath
Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.The use of sensor technologies for the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples. By combining gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and electronic nose (eNose) platforms, specific VOC patterns associated with HCM are detected and analyzed.

Relationship between Periodontal Disease and Respiratory Diseases [PDF]
, 2012 The anatomical continuity between the lungs and the oral cavity makes the latter a potential reservoir of respiratory pathogens. The micro-organisms may enter the lung by inhalation, but the most common route of infection is aspiration of what ...

Respiratory tract diseases and cytokine.
Nihon Naika Gakkai Zasshi, 1995 サイトカインは,リンパ球,マクロファージなどの細胞から産生される免疫反応・炎症を調節・制御する因子である.多種類のサイトカインが発見され,呼吸器疾患においてもサイトカインがその病態に関与する事が明らかとなり,あるいは治療に応用されている.主要サイトカインとしては,インターロイキン(IL-1～IL-10),インターフェロン,コロニー刺激因子(CSF),腫瘍壊死因子(TNF)などが知られている.肺線維症においては線維芽細胞増殖に対し, PDGFとIGF-Iが重要な働きをしている事が知られている.サルコイドーシスにおいては, TNF-α, IL-6, PDGF, GM-CSFが肺局所で増加し,肉芽腫形成に関与していると推測されている.気管支喘息では, IL-5は好酸球を活性化し, IgE産生については ...

Myasthenia gravis, respiratory function, and respiratory tract disease
Journal of Neurology, 2023 AbstractMyasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness caused by autoantibodies that bind to the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction and impair acetylcholine receptor function. Weakness of respiratory muscles represents the most severe MG manifestation, and 10–15% of all patients experience an MG crisis with the need of ...
