Effects of Single and Multiple Dose Tiotropium/Olodaterol in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Alveolar Gas Exchange Measured by Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Long‐acting muscarinic antagonists/long‐acting beta adrenoreceptor agonists lead to lung deflation and improved microvascular perfusion in hyperinflated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but with an unclear time course. Purpose To investigate the effect of inhalation of tiotropium/olodaterol (TIO/OLO) on MRI measures of ...

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Comparison between peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in one second in the evaluation of children suspected to have asthma.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology, 2004
This study was conducted to evaluate whether forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for the diagnosis of bronchial reactivity by means of the free-running exercise test and bronchodilator inhalation, could be appropriately replaced by simple measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in children.We studied 108 referred symptomatic children ...

How Much to Sell and When: Optimal Staged Divestiture of Patent‐Linked Royalty Claims Under Risk, Illiquidity, and Finite Horizon

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patent owners can sell a royalty interest in stages rather than all at once. This paper asks how much to sell now when claim values are uncertain, buyers are costly to reach, and patent expiry limits the time available. A decision model produces sale schedules that adjust to current value, the share retained, and time remaining.
