Considerations in asthma and concomitant upper airway symptoms
0%
Bronchial asthma has been defined as an inflammatory disorder of the airways. However upper airways are often forgotten either by the clinicians when they care asthmatics or the designers of clinical trials. Nose and sinus are a part of the airways and their role appear to be important in the pathophysiology of asthma; the treatment of rhinitis and sinusitis has to be included in the recommendations.
Not very detailed.

Epithelium and Asthma
0%
For many years epithelial cells were considered to have the simple role of a barrier participating to mucous secretion and removal of noxious agents by their cilia. More recently these cells were found to have a much broader activity including the release of eicosanoids, neural endopeptidases degrading neuropeptides (NEP), fibronectin participating to the regeneration of the normal epithelium, cytokines as well as they might have an immune function by their capability of antigen presentation.
A very detailed article on the physiological aspects.
