Rationale: Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a bronchoscopic procedure in which controlled
thermal energy is applied to the airway wall to decrease smooth muscle. Objectives: To …

Background Bronchial thermoplasty is a bronchoscopic procedure to reduce the mass of
airway smooth muscle and attenuate bronchoconstriction. We examined the effect of bronchial …

Asthma is a common disorder that in 2009 afflicted 8.2% of adults and children, 24.6 million

Pre-clinical data demonstrate a pivotal role for interleukin (IL)-13 in the development and
maintenance of asthma. This study assessed the effects of tralokinumab, an investigational …

Background Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a bronchoscopic procedure that improves asthma
control by reducing excess airway smooth muscle. Treated patients have been followed …

We propose a novel cluster-based reduced-order modelling (CROM) strategy for unsteady
flows. CROM combines the cluster analysis pioneered in Gunzburger’s group (Burkardt, …
