Airway Remodeling in Asthma: Evaluation in 5 Consecutive Bronchial Generations by Using High-Resolution Computed Tomography.

abstract：:Several algorithms exist to facilitate spirometric interpretation in clinical practice, yet there is a lack of consensus on how spirometric criteria for asthma, COPD, and restrictive disorders should be incorporated into spirometry interpretation algorithms suitable for use in day-to-day primary care management. The p...
