This review summarizes the interaction between the regulatory system of respiration and
cerebral vasculature. Some clinical reports provide evidence for the association between …

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation,
bronchial reversible obstruction and hyperresponsiveness to direct or indirect stimuli. It is a …

Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema are associated
with endothelial damage and altered pulmonary microvascular perfusion. The molecular …

Aim: Impaired lung function is associated with atherosclerotic vascular events. Carotid intima-
media thickness (cIMT) is a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. However, few studies …

Background Underlying mechanism leading to impaired lung function are incompletely
understood. Objectives To investigate whether protein profiling can provide novel insights …

Chronic inflammation and increased oxidative burden lay the foundation for endothelial
dysfunction, which itself is the eminent precursor to a host of chronic inflammatory related …

The primary goal of the respiratory system is to match ventilation to metabolic rate, thus
maintaining blood gas homeostasis. Failure of the respiratory system to properly facilitate …
