Objectives/Hypothesis Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a functionally devastating condition
with high respiratory morbidity and mortality. This preliminary study investigates airflow …

Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a type of airway narrowing that is frequently caused by
intubation-related trauma. LTS can occur at one or multiple locations in the larynx and/or …

Objective Adjuvant management for laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) may involve inhaled
corticosteroids, but metered dose inhalers are designed for pulmonary drug delivery …

Objective Very little is known about the impact of laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) on
inspiratory airflow and resistance, especially in air hunger states. This study investigates the …

Air pollution is one of the critical factors that has threatened human health for a long time. In
the early 20th century, people worldwide were aware of the health effects that were caused …

Background The efficacy of inhalation therapy depends on the drug deposition in the human
respiratory tract. This study investigates the effects of vocal fold adduction on the particle …

During inhaled therapies several factors limits the amount of drug delivered to the lungs. Eg
the upper airways morphology and in particular the glottis, defined by the vocal-fold …

The existence of obstructions such as tracheal stenosis has major impacts on respiratory
functions. Therapeutic effectiveness of inhaled medications is influenced by tracheal …

Despite the prevalence of inhalation therapy in the treatment of various respiratory diseases,
predicting and optimizing lung deposition fractions of inhaled drugs for maximal efficacy …

Background and objective Understanding the impact of inhaler resistance on particle
transport and deposition in the human upper airway is essential for optimizing inhaler …
