Standardised methodology of sputum induction and processing
Open accessAbstract
Research into the pathogenetic mechanisms and clinical monitoring of inammatory diseases of any system is complete only if it involves the study of both the underlying pathological features and the physio- logical consequences that result from what are always complex inammatory processes. Respiratory dis- eases, including those of the airways, are no exception in this respect. It is, therefore, not surprising that the development over the last 25 years of techniques enabling the study of inammatory processes in the airways has revolutionised understanding of the commonest pulmonary diseases, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airways inammation is now an established feature and a central consideration of any treatment strategy for both of these conditions. Most of the initial observations made in asthma, documenting the involvement of eosinophils, mast cells, T-cells and more recently structural cells, ® broblasts, endothelial cells and epithelial cells, were made in studies using ® breoptic bronchoscopy in

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
