Cough in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis by Ahmad Kantar, Woo-Jung Song, Andrew Bush, Grigorios Chatziparasidis

“…Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) belongs to the spectrum of chronic suppurative lung diseases and is characterised by persistent wet/sputum-productive cough and airway dilatation. Morphological and structural changes in the airways lead to changes in airflow, impair breathing-induced mucus transport and sliding, and reduce the shear forces of cough. …”
