BACKGROUND: Airway remodeling in asthma and COPD results in bronchial wall
thickening. The thickness of the bronchial wall can be measured in high-resolution …

Airway remodeling in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) results in
thickening of bronchial walls and may affect lung function. In the present study we set out to …

Background and objective: COPD and bronchial asthma are chronic airway diseases with a
different pathogenesis. Comparisons of differences in airway calibre by bronchial generation …

Background: Asthma is a frequent chronic disease of the airways. In spite of the fact that
symptoms of asthma are well known, the pathogenesis has not yet been fully understood …

BACKGROUND: Airway remodeling is a characteristic structural change that occurs
extensively in the airways of patients with asthma. The change can be evaluated by …

Background Airway remodelling in bronchial asthma (BA) and COPD has been
quantitatively assessed by analysing the airway wall area and the luminal area on cross …

Background: In some patients chronic asthma results in irreversible airflow obstruction. High
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has been advocated for assessing the structural …

Asthma and COPD are the most prevalent of lung diseases and contribute an enormous
burden of morbidity in North America and globally. In both conditions, inflammation leads to …

BACKGROUND: Few studies have directly compared airway remodelling assessed by
computed tomography (CT) between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Objective: It is not well known whether there is heterogeneity in the airway dimensions at
different anatomic locations in individual patients with COPD. The first objective was to …
