چکیده
ON THE COVER Calderon et al. show that the pancreas has the unique feature of having macrophages from different lineages in distinct anatomical sites. The cover image illustrates that pancreatic islet macrophages derive from defi nitive hematopoiesis (orange), whereas stromal macrophages are of mixed origin, deriving from both defi nitive (orange) and primitive (green) hematopoiesis.

Airway Inflammatory Biomarker: Could It Tailor the Right Medications for the Right Asthmatic Patient?
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, in which asthmatic patients present with different clinical phenotypes, variable endotypes, and different response to asthma medicines. Thus, we are faced with an asthma paradox; asthma is diagnosed subjectively by clinical history and treated with biologically active drugs. To solve this paradox, we need objective airway biomarkers to tailor the proper medica...
متن کاملOverlap Syndrome in Respiratory Medicine: Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by similar mechanisms: airway inflammation, airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, the distinction between the two obstructive diseases is not always clear. Multiple epidemiological studies demonstrate that in elderly people with o...

ABSTRACT: Asthma is a chronic disease in which hyperactivity of airways to different stimuli is responsible for pathophysiologic changes seen. With respect to the pathophysiologic changes seen the treatment can be divided into two groups: bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory drugs. Bronchodilators consist of beta 2 agonists (salbutmol), Xanthine (theophilline) and anticholinergic(ipratropium)...

H ly , the s tructural and functional differences within the respiratory tract have served as the basis for separating the airway into upper and lower components. As such, asthma and allergic rhinitis have been diagnosed and managed by clinicians as distinct upper and lower airway diseases, respectively. Consistent with this idea of distinct diseases, researchers have developed drugs in years p...

Abstract Background & Aims: The peripheral parts of the lung are known as the main place of airflow obstruction in asthmatic patients; but the symptoms of asthma with the location of airway obstruction are still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between asthma symptoms and severity of asthma and proximal and distal airways using function tests. Materials &...
