Mucociliary clearance, airway inflammation and nasal symptoms in urban motorcyclists
OBJECTIVES There is evidence that outdoor workers exposed to high levels of air pollution exhibit airway inflammation and increased airway symptoms. We hypothesized that these workers would experience increased airway symptoms and decreased nasal mucociliary clearance associated with their exposure to air pollution. METHODS In total, 25 non-smoking commercial motorcyclists, aged 18-44 years, ...
متن کامل[Airway calcium deposition and broncholithiasis in disorders of mucociliary clearance].
To the Editor: We read with interest the report by García Pachón et al1 regarding idiopathic chronic lithoptysis and the letter by Roig Vázquez et al2 on lithoptysis in a patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Complementing these observations, we recently completed an analysis of lithoptysis and airway calcification in a large cohort (n=142) of wellcharacterized PCD patients.3 We identi...
متن کاملAirway clearance applications in infants and children.
The rationale for airway clearance therapy and basic principles of its application are identical for children and adults, but there are important differences in physiology (regarding airway mucus characteristics and airway mechanics) and pathological processes in children, as well as other considerations unique to the pediatric population. The major obstacle in reviewing the evidence for effica...
متن کاملSputum and mucociliary clearance mechanisms.
Bronchial secretion forms a periciliary liquid layer and may also give rise to thicker secretion that moves on the tips of the cilia. This latter material as collected at bronchoscopy or coughed up as sputum is a viscoelastic substance behaving in a characteristic way over a wide range of shear rates. The anatomical basis of secretion is described and its control as established by organ culture.
متن کاملMeasurement of nasal mucociliary clearance.
The saccharin test was carried out in a randomly selected sample of schoolchildren (142 boys and 153 girls, age range 11-14 years) to determine the variability and reproducibility of the test and to assess whether it could be used as a screening test for nasal mucociliary clearance. Nasal mucociliary clearance times were analysed according to clinical history (asthma, rhinitis, asthma with rhin...
