متن کاملMechanisms of Remodeling in Asthmatic Airways
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disorder characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and reversible airflow obstruction. Subgroups of asthma patients develop airflow obstruction that is irreversible or only partially reversible and experience an accelerated rate of lung function decline. The structural changes in the airways of these patients are referred to as airway remodeling. All el...
متن کاملDisordered Microbial Communities in Asthmatic Airways
BACKGROUND A rich microbial environment in infancy protects against asthma [1], [2] and infections precipitate asthma exacerbations [3]. We compared the airway microbiota at three levels in adult patients with asthma, the related condition of COPD, and controls. We also studied bronchial lavage from asthmatic children and controls. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We identified 5,054 16S rRNA bacterial seq...
متن کاملFewer sore throats and a better seal: why routine manometry for laryngeal mask airways must become the standard of care.
We have three decades of experience with the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) [1], yet most of us do not use it optimally. This is despite accumulating evidence of detrimental effects from cuff overinflation, i.e. postoperative sore throats from mucosal tissue injury and impairment of its primary function, the airway seal. In 1983, Brain described ventilating the lungs of 23 patients for gynaecologi...
متن کاملAntiasthmatic effect of Nigella sativa in airways of asthmatic patients.
In the present study, the antiasthmatic (bronchodilatory) effect of the boiled extract of Nigella sativa in the airways of asthmatic patients was examined. The bronchodilatory effects of 50 and 100 mg/kg of boiled extract in comparison with 6 mg/kg theophylline were studied on 15 asthmatic patients. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)), peak ...
