Influence of excipients on spray-dried powders for inhalation [PDF]
Two areas attracting considerable attention when developing effective pulmonary drug delivery systems include the improvement of aerosolisation efficiency of the inhaled formulation and the controlled release of drug from the formulation following ...

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma

Investigating the suitability of high content image analysis as a tool to assess the reversibility of foamy alveolar macrophage phenotypes in vitro. [PDF]
Many potential inhaled medicines fail during development due to the induction of a highly vacuolated or “foamy” alveolar macrophage phenotype response in pre-clinical studies.

Single-inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol versus fluticasone furoate/vilanterol plus umeclidinium using two inhalers for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A randomized non-inferiority study [PDF]
Background: Single-inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) 100/62.5/25 μg has been shown to improve lung function and health status, and reduce exacerbations, versus budesonide/formoterol in patients with chronic obstructive ...

Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations
Abstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...

Synthesis of a versatile (S)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butane-1,2,4-triol building block and its application for the stereoselective synthesis of N-homoceramides [PDF]
A versatile (S)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butane-1,2,4-triol building block has been synthesized starting from D-isoascorbic acid, a common food preservative. The key transformation in this approach was the introduction of branching through a high yield and fully

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.
