Manifesto on small airway involvement and management in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an Interasma (Global Asthma Association - GAA) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) document endorsed by Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) [PDF]

, 2016
Evidence that enables us to identify, assess, and access the small airways in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has led INTERASMA (Global Asthma Association) and WAO to take a position on the role of the small airways in these ...

Peptide‐Induced Ferroelectricity in Charge‐Transfer Supramolecular Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired supramolecular charge‐transfer amphiphiles self‐assemble into nanoribbons in water, where peptide chirality‐induced symmetry breaking generates robust ferroelectricity across multiple systems. These water‐processable organic ferroelectrics also enhance neuronal outgrowth and electrophysiological maturity, offering a versatile strategy for ...

Decarbonising Respiratory Care: The Impact of a Low‐Carbon Salbutamol Pressurised Metered‐Dose Inhalers

Allergy, EarlyView.
Healthcare systems contribute up to 5% of global GHG emissions, with inhalers contributing a proportion of these. The carbon footprint of current salbutamol inhalers (pMDI with HFA‐134a propellant and DPI) and a planned salbutamol pMDI with low‐GWP propellant HFA‐152a was quantified across seven countries.
