Kareem Ahmad, Jennifer L. Pluhacek, A. Whitney Brown
The number of waitlisted lung transplant candidates exceeds the availability of donor organs. Barriers to utilization of donor lungs include suboptimal lung allograft function, long ischemic times due to geographical distance between donor and recipient, and a wide array of other logistical and medical challenges. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a modality that allows donor lungs to be evaluated ...... hiện toàn bộ

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant global health concern and major cause of hospitalization, particularly among infants and older adults. The clinical impact of RSV is well characterized in infants; however, in many countries, the burden and risk of RSV in older populations are overlooked. In Latin America, there are limited data on RSV epidemiology and disease management in older ...... hiện toàn bộ

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often have poor sleep quality and report a worsening of respiratory symptoms during night-time. However, current clinical guidelines for COPD management do not specifically consider nocturnal symptoms when recommending pharmacological treatment. This study aimed to better understand the burden of nocturnal symptoms in patients with COPD, a...... hiện toàn bộ

Marwa O. Elgendy, Mohamed E. Abdelrahim, Randa Salah Eldin
The aim of the work presented here was to determine the role of dry powder inhaler (DPI) counselling on inhalation technique and lung function test scores of the asthmatic patients. To decrease variability, asthmatic patients using an Aerolizer were enrolled in the study, as this was the most commonly prescribed DPI in outpatient clinics of Beni Suef University hospital. Each patient was subjected...... hiện toàn bộ
Switching Inhalers: A Practical Approach to Keep on UR RADARPulmonary Therapy - Tập 6 - Trang 381-392 - 2020
Alan Kaplan, Job F. M. van Boven
The choice of an inhaler device is often as important as the medication put in it to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients with asthma and/or COPD. With a multitude of drug–device combinations available, optimization of respiratory treatment could well be established by switching devices rather than changing or even augmenting pharmacological or non-pharmacological therapies. Importantly, whil...... hiện toàn bộ
