Medication use has always played a highly significant role in the overall management of asthma, with appropriate use being linked to good asthma control. However, while patients with asthma enjoy the ‘luxury’ of having medications delivered directly to the lungs via inhaler devices, with that comes the additional challenge of ensuring that inhaler devices are used correctly. Research and practice ...... hiện toàn bộ
Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: A Review of Current and Future Application in Lung TransplantationPulmonary Therapy - Tập 8 - Trang 149-165 - 2022
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
COPD and Singing for Lung Health: A Patient and Clinician PerspectivePulmonary Therapy - Tập 4 - Trang 121-124 - 2018
Adam Lewis, John Thomas
This article, co-authored by a patient living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a respiratory physiotherapist, discusses the patient’s experience of COPD and singing as a form of therapy. The clinician then discusses his experience of Singing for Lung Health in the context of the patient, and how more research is needed in this area.
Patient and Clinical Demographics of New Users to Single-Inhaler Triple Therapy in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseasePulmonary Therapy - Tập 8 - Trang 195-208 - 2022

Single-inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) triple therapy was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2017 as a maintenance therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patient characteristics and treatment patterns prior to initiating FF/UMEC/VI are currently unknown. This study assessed patient characteristics, exacerbation, and med...... hiện toàn bộ

A 27-year-old woman at 17 weeks gestation was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a history of fever, dyspnea, and dry cough for 3 days. She was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on her nasopharyngeal swab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that was positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In the ICU, the patient developed acute resp...... hiện toàn bộ
An Open-Label, Phase II Study of the Safety of Pirfenidone in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (PIPF-002)Pulmonary Therapy - Tập 4 - Trang 59-71 - 2018

PIPF-002 was a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study of pirfenidone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or other types of pulmonary fibrosis (PF). PIPF-002 terminated after pirfenidone became commercially available in the United States. The goal of PIPF-002 was to characterize the long-term safety of pirfenidone in these patients. Between August 2003 and September 2006, 83 patien...... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding the Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Older Adults in Latin America: An Expert Perspective on Knowledge GapsPulmonary Therapy - - Trang 1-20 - 2024

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
Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF25–75%) as a Clinical Endpoint in Children and Adolescents with Symptomatic Asthma Receiving Tiotropium: A Post Hoc AnalysisPulmonary Therapy - Tập 6 - Trang 151-158 - 2020
Stanley J. Szefler, Stanley Goldstein, Christian Vogelberg, George W. Bensch, John Given, Branko Jugovic, Michael Engel, Petra M. Moroni-Zentgraf, Ralf Sigmund, Eckard H. Hamelmann
In pediatric patients with asthma, measurements of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) may be normal or may not correlate with symptom severity. Forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of the vital capacity (FEF25–75%) is a potentially more sensitive parameter for assessing peripheral airway function. This post hoc analysis compared FEF25–75% with FEV1 as an endpoint to assess bronchodilator responsiv...... hiện toàn bộ
