● Video laryngoscopy provides an indirect view of the glottic inlet, which allows the operator to visualize the airway despite complex difficult airway characteristics.
Hence, these results show that the involvement of hypermutability in the acquisition of the mutations which drive the adaptive process of P. aeruginosa into the CF airways is complex.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways involving complex interactions of cells and mediators, which lead to oxidative and nitrosative modifications of airway proteins [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] that are relevant to the initiation and maintenance of inflammation [3], [4], [5], [6], [7].
Human airways are complex tubes, and airflow in a tube may occur in a laminar, a transitional or a turbulent manner [ 1].
Airway stenting for complex airway disease is a common procedure performed by interventional pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons.
In conclusion, we have shown that regulation of the upper airway is complex and influenced by NIV.
Airway mucus is a complex airway secretion whose primary function as part of the mucociliary transport mechanism is to to serve as renewable and transportable barrier against inhaled particulates and toxic agents.
Asthma is a complex airway disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation.
Presently, there is no clear evidence that simple artificial noses or noses combined with filters decrease the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, especially when we consider that, in the ICU patient, colonization and infection of the airways follow very complex pathways [ 3, 4, 5, 31, 32, 33].
RSV disease is the result of virus-induced airway damage and complex inflammatory processes.
