Bronchiectasis is a clinical syndrome of cough, sputum production and recurrent respiratory infections that occurs in the setting of permanent damage to the airways of the lungs. Chest imaging of ...

Methods LC/MS proteomics was used to compare protein profiles in sputum between severe and mild bronchiectasis (20 vs 20 patients). Microbiome changes, using 16S rRNA sequencing, clinical ...

Air moves through your lungs through your bronchi (airways). When you have bronchiectasis, these airways get thick and damaged. When your bronchi are damaged, mucus builds up, and your airways become ...

Its role in adult bronchiectasis, risk factors for colonisation and pathogenicity is unknown. We sought to identify characteristics associated with the isolation of this pathogen in sputum samples, ...

Aspects of the bronchiectasis airway microenvironment might lead to a change in neutrophil function. Neutrophils will be exposed to a challenging environment—hypoxia within mucus and areas of ...

With the ERS taskforce recommendations, there is a drive for a unified practice for the management of paediatric non-CF bronchiectasis. Our aim was to analyse the characteristics of the non-CF ...
