Advances in biologically based models for respiratory tract uptake of inhaled volatiles Thus, there is a significant effort to describe the critical determinants for uptake of soluble chemicals and to formulate models with more biologically relevant descriptions of respiratory tract structure and function....
revised) does not directly reflect respiratory function [16]. These scales do not represent good instruments for the assessment of respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength in MG. They give better information on swallowing and risk for aspiration. In a recent review, the ...
Respiratory symptoms, lung function, and mortality in a screening center cohort Numerous studies have documented the effects of smoking and reduced pulmonary function on all-cause mortality. The effects of respiratory symptoms are less well studied. This paper examines the joint effects of respiratory ...
Forty women employed as furriers in the fur processing industry and a group of 31 control workers were examined. A higher prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms was found among the furriers than among the controls. The differences were statistically significant for chronic cough and (P less than...
Thegeneral problem ofcomparing theanatomy oftheupperrespiratory tractofoneanimal species withthatofanother hasbeenreviewed by several authors, notably Negus(14)and Proetz (18). These, however, haveconcentrated on problems directly related to respiratory physiology inman.Therehasbeenonegeneral reviewofthe...

The nasal associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) serves as a site for the induction of nasal,1,2 pharyngeal,3 respiratory,4 oral,2 gastrointestinal,5,6 genitourinary,7,8 and systemic9 immunity. Therefore, it follows that the nose should contain a significant population of DCs capable of priming ...
Nonhygroscopic monodisperse particles can be used to estimate airway dimensions within chosen regions of the respiratory tract. These dimensions correspond well with those measured in inflation-fixed lungs. The dispersion of a bolus of airborne particles on inhalation and exhalation is very sensitive to...
