TLDR
Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is a disease with chronic inflammation exclusively located in the region of respiratory bronchioles as mentioned in this paper, which is characterized by thickening of the wall of the respiratory bronchiole with infiltration of lymphocytes, plasma cells and histiocytes.Abstract:
Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is a disease with chronic inflammation exclusively located in the region of respiratory bronchioles. The pathologic featw’es of the disease are characterized by thickening of the wall of the respiratory bronchiole with infiltration of lymphocytes, plasma cells and histiocytes, and extension of the inflammatory changes toward peribronchiolar tissues, In the advanced stage,read more

Improvement of Survival in Patients with Diffuse Panbronchiolitis Treated with Low-dose Erythromycin
TL;DR: The efficacy of EM treatment increased the survival rate of patients with DPB, which was more significant in the older than in the younger patients, and a significant difference in the survival rates between the two subgroups in Group c (p < 0.001).

From in vitro to in vivo Models of Bacterial Biofilm-Related Infections
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of the literature from a historic perspective commenting on the contribution of the different models and discussing future venues and new approaches that can be merged with more traditional techniques in order to model biofilm-infections and efficiently fight them is undertaken.

TL;DR: The number of neutrophils in the peripheral blood was not affected by erythromycin, indicating that the drug was not toxic, and there was a significant correlation between the reduction of NCA and neutrophil percentage in pre- and post-eryhromycin treatment BALF.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa: host defence in lung diseases.
TL;DR: P. aeruginosa is ubiquitous in the authors' environment, and one of the most versatile pathogens studied, capable of infecting a number of diverse life forms and surviving harsh environmental factors, but rarely infects healthy human lungs.

Resistance of central and peripheral airways measured by a retrograde catheter
P. T. Macklem,J. Mead +1 more
TL;DR: The low value of Rp favors equality of gas distribution, but constriction of peripheral airways might affect gas distribution and exchange with little change in Rr, because lung tissue resistance is included in Rp, it must be a negligible component of RL in the dogs studied.

TL;DR: Patients referred for assessment of severe chronic airflow obstruction over a three-year period were reviewed and their clinical, lung function, and bronchographic features were consistent with obliterative bronchiolitis, suggesting that it is a true disease entity.
