DOI: 10.1007/s00408-019-00246-z
Abstract: BackgroundWe previously reported that wall area percent (WAP), a quantitative CT (QCT) indicator of airway wall thickness and, presumably, inflammation, is associated with adverse longitudinal expiratory flow trajectories in WTC workers, but that obesity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep43017
Abstract: The increased expression of placental growth factor (PlGF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and allergy-related asthma suggests its role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In asthmatic smokers, airway remodelling is accompanied by an accelerated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1115/1.4069664
Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, resulting from interactions between aerodynamic forces, neuromuscular activation, and tissue properties. This study introduces a novel methodology for analyzing airway wall dynamics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1117/1.jbo.30.7.076001
Abstract: Abstract. Significance Inhalation injury, a critical complication in patients with severe burns, contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic practices suffer from subjectivity and lack quantitative metrics. Enhanced diagnostic accuracy is imperative for improving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1753466619898598
Abstract: Background: Asthma is a frequent chronic disease of the airways. In spite of the fact that symptoms of asthma are well known, the pathogenesis has not yet been fully understood. Quantitative computed tomography (qCT) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.01865-2021
Abstract: Background Eosinophils are implicated as effector cells in asthma, but the functional implications of the precise location of eosinophils in the airway wall is poorly understood. We aimed to quantify eosinophils in the different compartments… read more here.
