Background and objective In vivo evaluation of the microstructural differences between
asthmatic and non‐asthmatic airways and their functional consequences is relevant to …

BACKGROUND Airway wall thickening has been observed in post mortem studies of
patients with asthma. Assessment of airway wall thickening by high resolution computed …

Asthmatic airway narrowing is heterogeneous and contributes to airway
hyperresponsiveness. The present study compared heterogeneity of narrowing during …

Purpose: Airway remodeling may be responsible for irreversible airway obstruction in
asthma, and a low post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio can be used as a noninvasive …

Purpose A subset of asthmatics suffers from persistent airflow limitation, known as
remodeled asthma, despite optimal treatment. Typical quantitative scoring methods to …

Introduction Airway remodeling in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) results in bronchial wall thickening. Bronchial wall thickness (BWT) can be …

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the most prevalent
lung diseases. In both asthma and COPD, airway inflammation leads to airway remodeling …

Management of patients with asthma COPD overlap (ACO) is clinically challenging due to
insufficient evidence of pathological changes in these patients. In this cross-sectional study …

Airway remodeling in asthma patients has been studied in vivo by means of endobronchial
biopsies allowing to assess structural and inflammatory changes. However, this technique …

Three-dimensional airway analysis, using high-resolution computed tomography (CT), has
only recently become a reality for studying airway dimensions and remodeling in chronic …
