In this issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Devyani Lal, Angela Donaldson, and David Jang bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Unified Airway Disease. Unified airway disease is a recently defined entity that alludes to inflammation disease processes that involve both upper and lower airway, and co-management of these conditions by otolaryngologists and allergy immunologists often result in improved outcomes. In this issue, experts in the field provide a thorough overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of unified airway disease through the perspective of an otolaryngologist co-managing the patient with an allergy-immunology colleague. Contains 16 practice-oriented topics including environmental factors; eosinophilic disease; non-eosinophilic and granulomatous disease; cystic fibrosis; pediatric unified airway disease; unified airway disease medical and surgical management; future directions; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on unified airway disease, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

A model developed in the past 5 years is that of the "Unified Airway." The concept in this model is that the respiratory mucosa from the middle ear, through the nose and sinuses, down the trachea and through the larynx, and into the bronchioles represents a common epithelium that responds to stimuli in a similar manner. Diseases that affect one portion of this epithelium, therefore, will commonly affect one or more other components. This model has been used to explain the strong overlap and comorbidities among diseases such as allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and asthma. Since otolaryngologists commonly treat patients with rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and laryngitis, a full exploration of the overlap among these diseases, as well as the importance of lower respiratory inflammation, is presented in this issue.

Both acute and chronic cough are responsible for a significant number of ambulatory medical visits annually. The recent comprehensive understanding that “cough is a reflection of underlying disease pays tribute to the multifactorial causes, as well recognition of the respiratory and upper digestive tract as a “physiologic unit. This publication highlights the advances made in managing cough and brings these to otolaryngology practitioners in a concise forum, as well as presenting issues of special interest to laryngologists such as paradoxical vocal fold motion, disordered breathing, irritable larynx, evolution of the vagus as a protective circuit, the importance of cough in deglutition, and surgical interventions. Some of the topics include: The cough reflex, sensory receptors, and neurogenic mediators; Mucus and mucins; Cough and Swallowing dysfunction; Cough due to asthma, cough-variant asthma, and nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis; Occupational, environmental, and irritant induced cough; Pharmacologic management; Unexplained cough; Cough in the pediatric population; and Rhinogenic laryngitis, cough and the unified airway; among others.
