Inhaled Corticosteroid Escalation After a Single Moderate Exacerbation in COPD: Differential Benefit by Exacerbation Subtype

Respirology, EarlyView.
We tested whether ICS escalation after a single moderate COPD exacerbation improved outcomes according to exacerbation treatment phenotype. ICS reduced future exacerbations only in steroid‐treated events, not antibiotic‐treated events. This study supports phenotype‐guided escalation after one moderate exacerbation, avoiding overtreatment with precise ...

Prediction of Total Lung Capacity and Residual Volume Eligibilities for Endobronchial Valve Treatment Using Measurements by the Helium Dilution Technique, CT‐Based Lung Volume Analysis, and Spirometry

Respirology, EarlyView.
When body plethysmography is not feasible, helium dilution and CT volumetry, alone or combined with spirometry, may provide practical alternatives to help identify patients likely or unlikely to meet plethysmography‐defined eligibility criteria for endobronchial valve treatment.

Clinical characteristics of immediate allergic adverse reactions to intravenous amoxicillin‒clavulanic acid in conscious dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Amoxicillin‒clavulanic acid (AMC) is one of the most frequently used antibiotics in small animal practice, and reports on adverse reactions are scarce. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of immediate allergic adverse reactions to intravenous (IV) AMC in conscious dogs. Methods The medical records of a

Improved respiratory system conductance following bronchodilator predicts reduced exertional dyspnoea [PDF]

, 2011
SummaryBackgroundIn COPD, improvements in lung mechanics following bronchodilator, measured using the forced oscillation technique (FOT), are more sensitive than spirometry at detecting improvement in lung function following bronchodilator.
