Inability to adequately perform the essential functions of respiration, namely sending oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide. Clinically respiratory failure is ...
Airway epithelial cells are critical components of the innate immune system, contributing to the maintenance of airway structural integrity, barrier function, and ciliary clearance. However, in asthmatics, airway epithelial dysfunction increases susceptibility to viral infections [48,49]. In addition, ep...
The nervous system mediates key airway protective behaviors, including cough, mucus secretion, and airway smooth muscle contraction. Thus, its involvement and potential involvement in several airway diseases has become increasingly recognized. In the cur
The status of a patient’s immune system is a significant consideration when deciding upon a child’s suitability for extracorporeal support. Historically, an immunocompromised condition was a relative contraindication for ECMO for several reasons: ...
Furthermore, the presence of greater numbers of myofibroblasts could account for the enhanced deposition of ECM that has been previously described in our model system and may further explain the degree of airway remodeling that has been reported in asthmatic children. Methods Subjects Atopic asthma...
