Regular treatment with formoterol and inhaled steroids for chronic asthma: serious adverse events (Review) [PDF]

, 2009
Background Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between beta2-agonists and increases in asthma mortality. There has been much debate about possible causal links for this association, and whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists are ...

Modification Strategies of Carbon‐Based Electrodes From Structural Regulation to Multifunctional Integration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracing the evolution from structural regulation to multifunctional integration, this paper systematically analyzes modification strategies for carbon‐based electrodes. It evaluates how element doping, surface functionalization, and composite material design affect the electrode performance, and offers perspectives on future applications and challenges

Optimizing the Delivery of Inhaled Medication for Respiratory Patients: The Role of Valved Holding Chambers

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2018
Valved holding chambers (VHCs) have been used with pressurized metered-dose inhalers since the early 1980s. They have been shown to increase fine particle delivery to the lungs, decrease oropharyngeal deposition, and reduce side effects such as throat ...

Redefining the Health Risk of Battery Materials Through a Biologically Transformed Metal Mixture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inhaled NCM particles undergo lysosomal degradation, releasing complex ion mixtures that induce systemic impact. The impact is determined by a critical balance between antagonistic Ni‐Co interactions and synergistic Mn effects. To capture these complexities in risk assessment, we develop an IAI model, ensuring a more accurate quantitative risk ...

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

, 2006
In acute asthma inhaled beta 2-agonists are often administered to relieve bronchospasm by wet nebulisation, but some have argued that metered-dose inhalers with a holding chamber (spacer) can be equally effective.

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.
