Background: Noninvasive ventilatory support (NIVS) is intended to provide ventilatory assistance for a wide range of respiratory disturbances. The use of NIVS for treatment of respiratory distress may be applicable in the emergency department (ED). It may prevent endotracheal intubation and, likewise, may favorably influence the course of the patient’s hospitalization, depending o...... hiện toàn bộ
New and Emerging Antifungal AgentsAmerican Journal of Respiratory Medicine - Tập 2 - Trang 371-383 - 2012
Marta Feldmesser
Fungal pathogens are increasingly important causes of respiratory disease, yet the number of antifungal agents available for clinical use is limited. Use of amphotericin B deoxycholate is hampered by severe toxicity. Triazole agents currently available have significant drug interactions; fluconazole has a limited spectrum of activity and itraconazole was, until recently, available only in oral for...... hiện toàn bộ

Lung Cancer ScreeningAmerican Journal of Respiratory Medicine - Tập 1 - Trang 393-401 - 2012
Wendy S. Klittich, Jaime J. Caro
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. It as been shown that when treated in its early stages, survival rates improve. Despite this, controversy remains regarding screening for the early detection of lung cancer, primarily because mortality reductions were not observed in the trials that studied chest x-ray and sputum cytology.

Management of Community-Acquired PneumoniaAmerican Journal of Respiratory Medicine - Tập 2 - Trang 385-394 - 2012
James S. Tan, Thomas M. File
Patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are treated in hospital or in the ambulatory care setting depending on the severity of illness. Despite numerous guidelines proposed, there is no agreement on specific criteria for hospitalization other than the clinicians’ experience. The purpose of this review is to discuss the importance of the appropriate choice and timely administration of anti...... hiện toàn bộ
Intrapulmonary Pharmacokinetics of Antibacterial AgentsAmerican Journal of Respiratory Medicine - Tập 1 - Trang 201-209 - 2012
Loretta M. Chiu, Guy W. Amsden
The idea of studying the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibacterials in order to predict their efficacy has long been of interest. Traditionally, serum drug concentrations have been evaluated against the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a given pathogen; however, infection site-specific data continue to gain interest from clinicians. Despite methodological limitations, progres...... hiện toàn bộ
