DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2020-000574
Abstract: Rationale Pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial (PNTM) disease has increased over the past several decades, especially in older women. Abnormal mucociliary clearance and abnormal nasal nitric oxide (nNO) have been associated with PNTM disease in other patient… read more here.

Neutrophil elastase increases ciliary beat frequency ex-vivo: implications for the bronchiectasis airway

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.congress-2018.pa358
Abstract: Rationale: The neutrophil derived protease, Neutrophil elastase (NE), in patient sputum is a biomarker of bronchiectasis severity. The vicious cycle of bronchiectasis pathogenesis suggests NE reduces ciliary beat frequency (CBF), compromising mucociliary clearance. Early studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00792-2020
Abstract: Evaluation of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) performed by high-speed videomicroscopy analysis (HVMA) is one of the techniques required for the correct diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Currently, due to lack of open-source software, this… read more here.
