Endobronchial Ultrasound Reliably Quantifies Airway Smooth Muscle Remodeling in an Equine Asthma Model
Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) revealed differences in the thickness of the layer representing subepithelial tissues (L2) between human asthmatics and controls, but whether this measurement correlates with airway smooth muscle (ASM) remodeling in asthma is unknown. In this study, we sought to determine the ability of EBUS to predict histological ASM remodeling in normal and equine asthmat...
متن کاملThe Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome.
Although in textbooks asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are viewed as distinct disorders, there is increasing awareness that many patients have features of both. This article reviews the asthma-COPD overlap syndrome.
متن کاملThe Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are pulmonary disorders characterized by various degrees of airflow limitation, inflammation and tissue remodeling. Bronchial asthma, an allergic disease that develops in childhood, is physiologically characterized by reversible airflow obstruction. It has an episodic course and a generally favorable prognosis, as it responds well to anti-...
متن کاملCOPD assessment test and severity of airflow limitation in patients with asthma, COPD, and asthma–COPD overlap syndrome
OBJECTIVE The COPD assessment test (CAT) consists of eight nonspecific scores of quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the health-related quality of life and severity of airflow limitation in patients with asthma, COPD, and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) using the CAT. METHODS We examined CAT and lung functions in 138 patients with asthma, 99 patients with COPD, 51 patien...
متن کاملPATHOGENESIS OF COPD Airway Remodeling
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease associated with progressive airflow obstruction. Tobacco smoking is the main risk factor worldwide. In contrast to asthma, antiinflammatory therapies are rather ineffective in improving chronic symptoms and reducing inflammation, lung function decline, and airway remodeling. Specific drugs that are directed agai...
