Upper airway. 4: Sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract (SURT).
Sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract (SURT) includes nasopharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheal disease. Documented SURT occurs in approximately 5% of patients, although upper airway symptoms are more common in patients with sarcoidosis. Wegener granulomatosis may have a similar appearance to SURT, but there are important differences in the manifestations of the disease locally as well as sys...
متن کاملAn Association Between Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Diseases
Both allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma are inflammatory diseases in the respiratory tract. The upper and lower airways share many anatomical, physiological, and histological properties. A close relationship between allergic rhinitis and asthma has been established, and the “united airway disease hypothesis” proposes that upper and lower airway diseases are both manifestations of a single i...
متن کاملBarrier function of airway tract epithelium
Airway epithelium contributes significantly to the barrier function of airway tract. Mucociliary escalator, intercellular apical junctional complexes which regulate paracellular permeability and antimicrobial peptides secreted by the airway epithelial cells are the three primary components of barrier function of airway tract. These three components act cooperatively to clear inhaled pathogens, ...
متن کاملEffects of age and gender on upper airway, lower airway and upper lip growth.
The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the influence of age and gender on upper and lower airway width and upper lip length. In this study, 390 lateral cephalograms were divided into 13 age groups (ranging from 6 to 18 years) and were analyzed. The intergroup differences were analyzed using a MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of the Variance), and the intragroup differences were...
متن کاملEffect of an upper respiratory tract infection on upper airway reactivity.
Patients presenting for elective anaesthesia and surgery may be suffering with, or recovering from, a recent upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). It is a frequent clinical problem as to whether to postpone surgery in such patients as they may be more likely to suffer adverse respiratory events related to administration of general anaesthesia. Using dilute ammonia vapour as a chemical stimu...
