Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Asthma. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
Asthma exacerbations cause substantial morbidity, healthcare use, and long-term lung function decline, yet no diagnostic gold standard exists. Current assessment relies mainly on symptoms and spirometry, which may not capture early pathological...
Background Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are widely promoted as safer alternatives to combustible tobacco, yet growing evidence suggests that they may induce early respiratory dysfunction, particularly among young adults. Objective clinical...
One of the chronic respiratory conditions is asthma, which causes airway inflammation and affects millions of individuals worldwide. Early and accurate asthma detection is essential for timely clinical intervention; however, existing...
Introduction Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is the maximal expiratory airflow reached at the beginning of expiration. During controlled mechanical ventilation, it is determined by the driving pressure and expiratory airway resistance. Any change in PEF...
Non-invasive neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV-NAVA) is respiratory support that is synchronized with the Electrical activity of the Diaphragm (Edi) and uses the Edi to proportionally assist breathing by unloading the diaphragm. The aim of...
Post-COVID-19 symptoms are common following COVID-19, but risk factors of persistent symptoms in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) remain unclear. We aimed to assess the frequency and risk factors of post-COVID-19...
This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which coal dust exposure (CDE) exacerbates asthma, focusing on macrophage mitochondrial dysfunction and programmed cell death, and identifying the key regulatory molecules involved. Control, CDE, Asth,...
Background The endotracheal tube resistance dominates the total airway resistance in most intubated patients. Mucus deposition and biofilm formation can rapidly increase tube resistance and thereby contribute to serious ventilatory impairments,...
Background The pathophysiology of orthopnea in COPD remains poorly understood and the effects of the supine position on respiratory mechanics have only been sparsely investigated. We hypothesized that supine-induced expiratory flow limitation during...
Objective To evaluate the quality of artificial airway management in patients with burn injury combined with inhalation injury and identify independent influencing factors, with the aim of optimizing clinical care protocols. Methods...
Objective This study aimed to explore the mechanisms by which YQGB regulates the balance between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and T helper 17 cells (Th17) and clarify its role in the inflammatory response associated with asthma. Methods...
Background Severe asthma is associated with persistent symptoms, frequent exacerbations, and substantial healthcare utilization. However, real-world data describing the clinical characteristics and disease burden of severe asthma in China remain...
Background Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition with effective pharmacological treatments; however, poor adherence, particularly the overuse of short-acting β2-agonists (SABA) and underuse of inhaled corticosteroids, remains a persistent...
Key respiratory parameters such as inhalation-to-exhalation ratio and phase durations are known to influence physiological outcomes. However, most existing respiratory guidance systems rely on frequency-driven instructions, do not evaluate whether...
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate key inflammatory pathways in asthma. Severe equine asthma (SEA), a naturally occurring airway disease, shares important inflammatory features with certain phenotypes of human asthma and represents a valuable...
Background Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is an iatrogenic condition characterized by a paradoxical sense of nasal blockage and various bothersome symptoms that can arise following turbinate procedures. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6-Item Questionnaire (ENS6Q)...
