The role of airport pharmacies has grown in recent years to provide a range of services to travelers including OTC and prescription medicines as well as advice on prevention of infectious and other diseases. Prevention, including protective equipment

This project transformed Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s smallest yet most used Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint into one of the most technologically advanced checkpoints in the world—all while keeping it

Airway basal stem cells (BSCs) play a critical role in epithelial regeneration. Whether COVID-19 (CoV19) affects the function of BSCs is unknown. Here, we derived BSC lines from CoV19 patients using tracheal aspirates (TA) to circumvent biosafety

Maintenance of the cellular boundary between airway and alveolar compartments during homeostasis and after injury is essential to prohibit pathological plasticity which can reduce respiratory function. Lung injury and disease can induce either

Airway epithelial cells (AEC) infected with SARS-CoV-2 may drive the dysfunction of macrophages during COVID-19. We hypothesized that the direct interaction of AEC with macrophages mediated by CD95/CD95L or indirect interaction mediated by IL-6

The airway epithelium, which lines the conducting airways, is central to the defense of the lungs against inhaled particulate matter and pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Recognition of pathogens results in the activation

CONCLUSIONS: The standard of care for definitive treatment of TS is tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Literature shows a high success rate (83-97%) and low mortality (0-5%) following surgery in specialized centers with experience

CONCLUSIONS: Using VL in endotracheal intubation may be more reliable in reducing intervention times and the risk of suspected transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Respiratory viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 or influenza, can lead to impaired mucociliary clearance in the bronchial tree due to increased mucus viscosity and its hyper-secretion. We develop in this work a mathematical model to study the
