Managing Asthma Well and Sustainably – Patient Perspectives Explored

Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Context Asthma affects 300 million people worldwide. The widespread use of short‐acting beta2‐agonist (SABA) relievers, commonly delivered via pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs), is contrary to evidence‐based guidelines. SABA overuse is associated with poor asthma control and high carbon emissions.

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

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 2357-2365, July 2026.
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.

Chemical modification of tannin/furanic rigid foams by isocyanates and polyurethanes

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2012
Tannin/furanic rigid foams were modified by either polymeric 4,4’ diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) or a one-component polyurethane still presenting reactive isocyanate groups (PUR).

Comparison of the postoperative analgesic effect for infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee and that of periarticular multimodal drug injection in total knee arthroplasty: retrospective study in the immediate postoperative period

Knee Surgery & Related Research, 2020
Background The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) and the effect of periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) in addition to adductor ...

π‐Extended Chiral Molecular Triangular Prisms Exhibiting Boosted Circularly Polarized Luminescence Upon Self‐Assembly

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
A pair of π‐extended chiral triangular prisms based on pyromellitic diimide is synthesized from enantiopure macrocyclic precursors. They exhibit orange fluorescence and solvent‐dependent self‐assembly, enabling chiroptical inversion and amplification with |glum| values up to 1.15 × 10−2. Single‐crystal structures reveal solvent‐controlled conformations

P227 Effect of a new training device on pMDI technique [PDF]

Thorax, 2013
Introduction A simple training device (In-Check Flo-Tone®) has been developed to teach pMDI users when and how to actuate their inhaler via the sounding of an inspiratory flow whistle. Samples of the device plus instructions were made available to UK healthcare professionals who were invited, from April 2013, to take part in a short questionnaire ...

Metal‐Catalyzed C(sp2)–H Bond Functionalization of Indolinone‐ and Indanone‐Type Chemical Platforms En Route Toward Late‐Stage Functionalization

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 8, 15 April 2026.
An in‐depth survey dealing with the aromatic C—H bond functionalization of biologically‐relevant scaffolds featuring the indolinone and indanone core is discussed as they are unique aromatic scaffolds that are 1,2‐doubly fused with small five‐membered rings.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Phase‐Separated Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 31, 16 April 2026.
A supramolecular, phase‐separation driven strategy yields charge transfer (CT) complexes from alternating electron‐deficient pyromellitic diimide and electron‐rich 4,5‐dibromoveratrole. The resulting CT complexes self‐assemble into lamellar nanosheets with nanometer‐sized domains that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at room ...
