Exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is exaggerated constriction of the airways
usually soon after cessation of exercise. This is most often a response to airway dehydration …

A thin layer of airway surface liquid (ASL) lines the entire surface of the lung and is the first
point of contact between the lung and the environment. Surfactants contained within this …

In the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung, the airway surface liquid (ASL) volume is depleted, impairing
mucus clearance from the lung and leading to chronic airway infection and obstruction …

In normal airway epithelium, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) transports Cl-ions to the apical surface of the epithelium paralleled by the flow of …

So far the determination of unitary permeability (pf) of water channels that are expressed in
polarized cells is subject to large errors because the opening of a single water channel does …

It has been reported that continuous positive airway pressure therapy introduces negative
nasal side-effects including sneezing, itching, nasal dryness, nasal congestion and/or a …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening, genetically inherited condition in the
Caucasian population. Despite the lack of a cure for the underlying cellular defect, median …

Proper ion transport is crucial for maintenance, hydration and also protection against
infection of epithelial tissues. The dysfunction of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane …

Abstract<? Pub Inc> Rationale: Ventilation inhomogeneity (VI) may be an early sign of
obstructive airway disease. The lung clearance index (LCI) has been suggested as a …
