IMPACT OF PROPER METERED DOSE INHALER TECHNIQUE OVER PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATE IN MODERATE PERSISTENT BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2018
Objective: To determine the impact of proper metered dose inhaler technique over peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) among the patients of moderate persistent bronchial asthma. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.

How do patients determine when their inhaler is empty? Insights from an analysis of returned inhalers and a patient survey

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Background Inhalers are widely used for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, there is little knowledge about the extent to which an inhaler is used and when it is disposed of, despite the implications for an ...

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.

The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study re‐examination: Rationale, design, methods, and management of incidental findings

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To describe the rationale, design and data collection procedures of the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) re‐examination, which, in its further scope, aims to quantify and explain the development of atherosclerosis, pathological cardiovascular ageing, longitudinal decline in lung function and the malignant ...

Are inhalers with spacers better than nebulizers for children with asthma? [PDF]

, 2004
Metered-dose inhalers with a spacer (MDI/S) are as good as, or better than, nebulizers for children with asthma. This is based on numerous randomized controlled trials that compared outcomes such as hospital admission rates, asthma severity scores, and ...

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

Effect of live‐high, train‐low strategy induced by chronic low‐dose carbon monoxide exposure on haematological parameters and performance in trained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Altitude training enhances haematological adaptations and endurance at sea level, typically requiring exposure to ∼2500 m altitude for 3–4 weeks. Emerging evidence suggests that low‐dose carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation might mimic hypoxia and might be used by elite athletes.

Acute systemic and energy metabolism responses to velocity‐based resistance training following an oral glucose load in individuals with excess body weight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the acute metabolic effects of two velocity‐based resistance training (RT) protocols, differing in intra‐set velocity loss (VL) thresholds, on postprandial substrate oxidation and glycaemic responses following a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test in individuals with excess body weight.

Comparison effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox for esophagogastroduodenoscopy: A randomized controlled trial

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is vital for diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal symptoms, but patient discomfort and anxiety can affect procedural outcomes. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox during EGD in terms of procedural success, patient tolerance, and ...
