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 Asthma–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is a
clinical phenotype sharing features of asthma and COPD. Multidetector row computed …

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

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

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 …

Airway remodelling is a well‐established feature in asthma and chronic obstructive lung
disease (COPD), secondary to chronic airway inflammation. The structural changes found …

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

Purpose To analyze and compare computed tomographic (CT) bronchial measurements in
patients with asthma and healthy subjects and to correlate bronchial morphometric …
