Respiratory Research | Abstract | Combination of Roflumilast with a Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonist Inhibits Proinflammatory and Profibrotic Mediator Release from Human Lung Fibroblasts

respiratory-research.com — “Small airway narrowing is an important pathology which impacts lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts contribute to inflammation, remodeling and fibrosis by production and release of mediators such as cytokines, profibrotic factors and extracellular matrix proteins. This study investigated the effects of the phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast, combined with the long acting beta2 adrenergic agonist indacaterol, bothView full resource at respiratory-research.com

Pendelluft in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Measured with Lung Sounds

hindawi.com — “Objective. The phenomenon of pendelluft was described over five decades ago. In patients with regional variations in resistance and elastance, gas moves at the beginning of inspiration out of some alveoli into others. Gas moves in the opposite direction at the end of inspiration. The objective of this study was to apply the method of lung sounds mapping, which is known to provide regional information about gas flow, to study pendelluft in COPD patients. Methods.
