Effects of in vitro azithromycin treatment on bronchial epithelial antiviral immunity in asthma phenotypes

Background: Azithromycin (AZM) effectively reduces asthma exacerbations and enhances bronchial epithelial cell (BEC) antiviral immunity in vitro. However, its clinical impact on different asthma phenotypes is not fully elucidated and differences in treatment response to AZM may be attributable to differences in immune activation to rhinovirus (RV) infection in different inflammatory asthma phenoty

Evaluating the In-Plane Shear Capacity of Tongue-and-Groove Panels

This study evaluates the in-plane shear capacity of timber tongue-and-groove (TG) panels commonly used for roof structures in Nordic countries. Experimental tests, including shear and racking strength assessments, were conducted to investigate the in-plane capacity and the contribution of corrugated fasteners (pins) to structural performance. Racking strength tests demonstrated improved load-beari
