Article Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients who use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) often complain of nasal dryness and nasal obstruction as side effects of CPAP. The physiological mechanisms by which CPAP may cause nasal dryness and nasal obstruction remain poorly understood. It has been hypothesized that CPAP interferes with the nasal cycle, abolishing the resting phase of the cycle and leading to nasal dryness. We performed rhinomanometry measurements in 31 OSA patients sitting, laid supine, and supine after 10 min of CPAP at 10 cmHO. A posture change from sitting to supine led to more symmetric airflow partitioning between the left and right nostrils in the supine position. CPAP did not have a significant impact on nasal resistance, unilateral airflows, or airflow partitioning. Our results suggest that airflow partitioning becomes more symmetric immediately after changing to a supine position, while CPAP had no effect on nasal airflow, thus preserving the nearly symmetric airflow partitioning achieved after the posture change.

C-BIOPRED severe asthma clinical phenotypes: link to complement and coagulation pathways and galectin 10.
ERJ Open Res

Background: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous airway inflammatory disease presenting with varying clinicophysiological characteristics and response to treatments. The objectives of the present study were to determine the clinical phenotypes of the Chinese C-BIOPRED cohort and their link to the sputum proteome.
Methods: Partition-around-medoids clustering was applied to a training set of 362 nonsmoking, smoking or ex-smoking severe asthma patients, and nonsmoking mild-moderate asthma patients using eight clinicophysiological variables, with validation performed in the remaining 181.

Objective: To assess whether differences exist between ascending pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOP) and descending pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOP) obtained from positive airway pressure (PAP) titrations during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and to identify the associations between the physiologic and anatomic constituents of these differences.

Brief Report: Alternative Pulmonary Function Measures of Emphysema in People With HIV.

Introduction: People with HIV (PWH) have nearly twice the risk of emphysema than people without HIV. This risk, which has been associated with HIV-mediated changes in the lung immune environment and more extensive radiographic emphysema, may result in different patterns of airflow limitation on pulmonary function testing (PFT) than those traditionally used in people without HIV.
Methods: In this prospective cohort of PWH in Atlanta, Georgia, we analyzed PFT and chest computed tomography data from July 2013 through June 2018.
Measurement of respiratory-swallowing coordination using an oronasal facemask in healthy individuals.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between respiratory phase patterns and swallowing using a unique oronasal facemask, focusing on comparing isolated nasal airflow to combined oronasal airflow in healthy participants.* -
- Results show that including oral airflow data only minimally alters respiratory phase estimates during swallowing tasks, with certain patterns slightly increasing while others decreased.* -
- The findings also reveal high variability in respiratory patterns among participants, indicating a need for further research to better understand respiratory-swallowing dynamics and non-respiratory flow during swallowing.*

Background: The role of objective nasal airflow measures using peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and rhinospirometry in supporting clinical examination findings when offering patients septoplasty remain undefined.
Objective: To explore the baseline relationships between clinical examination findings, subjective reported symptoms and objective nasal patency measures in nasal obstruction.
Methods: This is a sub-study of the NAIROS trial.
