The airway epithelium: Structural and functional properties in health and diseaseAbstract: The major function of the respiratory epithelium was once thought to be that of a physical barrier. However, it constitutes the interface between the internal milieu and the external environment as well as being a primary target for inhaled respiratory drugs. It also responds to changes in the external environment by secreting a large number of molecules a...

Women and tobaccoAbstract: Smoking prevalence is lower among women than men in most countries, yet there are about 200 million women in the world who smoke, and in addition, there are millions more who chew tobacco. Approximately 22% of women in developed countries and 9% of women in developing countries smoke, but because most women live in developing countries, there are numerical...

Obesity and craniofacial structure as risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea: Impact of ethnicityABSTRACT OSA is the result of structural and functional abnormalities that promote the repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep. This common disorder is estimated to occur in approximately 4% of men and 2% of women, with prevalence studies from North America, Australia, Europe and Asia indicating that occurrence is relatively similar across the globe. An... ... hiện toàn bộ

The immunology of tuberculosis: From bench to bedsideABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is an international public health priority and kills almost two million people annually. TB is out of control in Africa due to increasing poverty and HIV coinfection, and drug‐resistant TB threatens to destabilize TB control efforts in several regions of the world. Existing diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for TB are suboptim... ... hiện toàn bộ

Bronchial epithelial cells: The key effector cells in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?Abstract The primary function of the bronchial epithelium is to act as a defensive barrier aiding the maintenance of normal airway function. Bronchial epithelial cells (BEC ) form the interface between the external environment and the internal milieu, making it a major target of inhaled insults. However, <... ... hiện toàn bộ

Pollen proteolytic enzymes degrade tight junctionsBackground and objective: Asthma and allergic rhinitis are significant, increasing causes of morbidity worldwide. Pollen, a major cause of seasonal rhinitis/conjunctivitis, carries proteolytic enzymes on its surface. We showed previously that peptidase allergens from house dust mites compromise epithelial barrier function by degrading the extracellular domains of th...

Obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea and metabolic syndromeABSTRACT OSA is increasingly recognized as a major health problem in developed countries. Obesity is the most common risk factor in OSA and hence, the prevalence of OSA is undoubtedly rising given the epidemic of obesity. Recent data also suggest that OSA is highly associated with the metabolic syndrome, and it is postulated that OSA contributes to cardiometabolic d... ... hiện toàn bộ
