Recycling Polyurethane Materials: A Comparison of Polyol from Glycolysis with Micronized Polyurethane Powder in Particleboard Applications

BioResources, 2014
Three different types of recycled polyurethane (PUR) material, two in powder form from a pulverizing process (one < 50 µm and one < 250 µm) and one in polyol form from a glycolysis process, were used as substitutes for polymeric methylene diphenyl ...

Hair analysis of formoterol as a novel tool to assess long‐term inhalation medication adherence: Data from the TRICOLON trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this paper is to examine inhaled formoterol concentrations in hair and assess the potential of hair analysis as a tool for measuring long‐term adherence, by validation with objective data from digital inhalers. Methods Hair samples and digital inhaler data were collected from patients with COPD in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands as part ...

Flow Profiles Identify Sources of Poor Metered Dose Inhaler TechniqueTake-Home Points

CHEST Pulmonary
Background: Inhaled medications are commonly used as therapy for obstructive lung disease (OLD); however, poor technique from pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) can severely limit drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy.

Twenty years of inhaler therapy: A nationwide drug utilization study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to map nationwide trends and prescribing patterns in inhaler use from 2004 to 2023. In light of evolving clinical guidelines and attention to the environmental impact of inhalers within recent years, we also examined variation in prescribing behaviour and patient‐level treatment choices. Methods Using nationwide health registries,

In Vitro Performance of Valved Holding Chambers in Paediatric Asthma Controller Therapy

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Research on the drug delivery of inhaled corticosteroids and combination medications via valved holding chambers (VHCs) with children's breathing patterns is limited. We aimed to evaluate the in vitro performance of commercially available VHCs without facemasks under preschooler breathing conditions, focusing on total delivered dose and ...

Designing chiral organic small molecules for circularly polarized light detection via group theory

InfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The chiral point group determines the arrangement of the μ‐m of chiral organic small molecules, thereby influencing their chiral photoelectric properties. In particular, chiral molecules with the D2 point group can effectively align the μ‐m to be either 0° or 180°, an effective strategy for high‐performance circularly polarized light photodetectors ...
