Mechanism of Cardiac Arrest in Fatal Anaphylaxis

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
This population‐based retrospective cohort study of clinical deterioration in anaphylaxis deaths identifies bronchospasm as the preponderant cause of cardiac arrest, especially in food and drug allergen exposures. The clinical implication is that anaphylaxis guidelines require appropriate emphasis on respiratory involvement and treatment to prevent ...

A pragmatic, multicentre, placebo-controlled, 3-arm, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial, incorporating an internal pilot, to determine the role of bronchodilators in preventing exacerbations of bronchiectasis

open access: yesHealth Technology Assessment
Background Bronchiectasis is a long-term lung condition associated with bronchial dilatation, chronic inflammation and infection. Treatment is often empirical or extrapolated from other lung conditions, for example the use of inhaled therapies licensed ...

Bronchodilator response cut-off points and FEV 0.75 reference values for spirometry in preschoolers

open access: yesJornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia
Objective: To determine the cut-off points for FEV1, FEV0.75, FEV0.5, and FEF25-75% bronchodilator responses in healthy preschool children and to generate reference values for FEV0.75.

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

Analysis of Pulsatile Vessel Expansion in Healthy, COPD‐ and PH‐Patients Using Dynamic Vessel Segmentation in Free‐Breathing Lung MRI

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1420-1432, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The pulsatile expansion of pulmonary vessels carries dynamic cardiopulmonary information that may reveal disease earlier than structural changes alone. Purpose To test (i) intra‐ and inter‐scan repeatability of dynamic vessel metrics in healthy subjects, and (ii) whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and postcapillary

Holding chambers (spacers) versus nebulisers for beta-agonist treatment of acute asthma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background In acute asthma inhaled beta₂-agonists are often administered by nebuliser to relieve bronchospasm, but some have argued that metered-dose inhalers with a holding chamber (spacer) can be equally effective.
