Abstract

Airflow limitation is a general feature in patients with asthma or COPD. Airflow limitation results from airway wall thickening and airway smooth muscle contraction, and is generally assessed by forced expirations.

The studies described in this thesis deal with underlying mechanisms of airflow limitation and therapeutic intervention. ... Zie: Summary
