The constant-phase model (CPM) is commonly fit to respiratory system input impedance (Z rs) to estimate lung mechanics.
In healthy individuals, deep inspirations (DIs) taken prior to a bronchial challenge reduce the bronchoconstrictor response, which is termed...
Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) is thought to exacerbate many pre-existing respiratory diseases.
A hallmark of atopic asthma is development of chronic airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) that persists in the face of ongoing exposure to perennial...
Here, we report on a model that does not use Th2-skewing adjuvants and yet achieves sensitization solely via the nasal mucosa.
Males are generally more susceptible to respiratory infections; however, there are few data on the physiological responses to such infections in male…
The aim of this study was to assess whether in utero tobacco smoke exposure alone affects early-life lung growth and development. Pregnant BALB/c mic…
The hallmark of atopic asthma is transient airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) preceded by aeroallergen-induced Th-cell activation.
This study investigates the incidence of self-citation (authors citing their own work) for scholarly articles in ten journals published by the Americ…
This review provides a snapshot of some key environmental health issues that will provide ongoing challenges for the Pacific Basin region in the comi…
