Predictors of correct technique in patients using pressurized metered dose inhalers [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Correct inhaler technique is recommended by guidelines for optimum asthma care. The objective of the study is to determine real life predictors of correct pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) technique in Asthma and COPD patients. Methods:

Stop using the flotation technique and start weighing salbutamol pressurised metered-dose inhalers without dose counters. [PDF]

, 2015
Salbutamol pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) are not equipped with dose counters outside the USA. The aim of this study was to describe a simple reproducible method for determining the number of doses remaining in a pMDI based on scale weight ...

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.

Does size really matter:relationship of particle size to lung deposition and exhaled fraction [PDF]

, 2017
We demonstrate that extra-fine particles are not associated with an appreciably higher exhaled fraction, hence explaining their efficacy profile in asthma.

Environmentally Friendly Blowing Agents for Producing Polyisocyanurate (PIR) Foams: Study of the Thermal Conductivity Aging and Mechanical Properties

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
HFO leads to PIR foams with the lowest thermal conductivity after 7 years (30 days), being maintained in the foam cells for longer times. HFO constitutes a non‐flammable and environmentally sustainable alternative to replace the hazardous conventional foaming agents in these foams.

Discrete Dimers of Redox-Active and Fluorescent Perylene Diimide-Based Rigid Isosceles Triangles in the Solid State [PDF]

, 2019
The development of rigid covalent chiroptical organic materials, with multiple, readily available redox states, which exhibit high photoluminescence, is of particular importance in relation to both organic electronics and photonics. The chemically stable,

What Is Known About Asthma Care and Management for Children and Young People Under 18 Years of age in New Zealand. A Scoping Review

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 19, Issue 12, December 2025.
Children in Aotearoa New Zealand experience variable asthma care. This review reveals critical gaps in education, treatment adherence, and culturally safe services, disproportionately affecting Māori and Pacific children. Strengthening family/whānau‐centred and culturally responsive care is vital for improving outcomes.
