Severe asthma in horses is associated with increased airway innervation
Abstract Background Altered innervation structure and function contribute to airway hyperresponsiveness in human asthma, yet the role of innervation in airflow limitation in asthma in horses remains unknown. Hypothesis To characterize peribronchial innervation in horses with asthma.

Tiotropium in COPD: clinical outcomes and economic evidence
Tiotropium bromide is a once-daily anticholinergic bronchodilator with duration of action of at least 24 hours. In clinical trials, tiotropium has been compared with placebo, ipratropium or salmeterol, the most frequently used long-acting β2 agonist ...

High-speed Laser Micromachining with Copper Bromide Laser [PDF]
The application of the copper bromide (CuBr) laser as an attractive tool in the micro-machining of different materials has been demonstrated. High-quality drilling by trepanning and precision cutting was established on several materials with a negligible heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Athletes often experience lower airway dysfunction, such as asthma and exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), which affects more than half the athletes in some sports, not least in endurance sports. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness, alongside airway narrowing, hyperresponsiveness, and inflammation.

Tiotropium modulates transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1) in airway sensory nerves: A beneficial off-target effect?⋆ [PDF]
BackgroundRecent studies have suggested that the long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist tiotropium, a drug widely prescribed for its bronchodilator activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, improves symptoms and ...

Photon Detection Using Cerium Bromide Scintillation Crystals [PDF]
The project involved the development of a precision radioactive Source-Positioning System to enable the absolute characterization of a gamma-ray Detector-Development Platform at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University in conjunction with the Detector Group of the European Spallation Source. The gamma-ray radiation associated with an actinide-

A comparative study of solvent dynamics in Choline Bromide aqueous solution using combination of neutron scattering technique and molecular dynamics simulation [PDF]
A comparative study between Choline and Tetra-methyl ammonium bromide is presented here. Choline which is a crucial component for our dietary requirements causes many diseases if there is deficiency. We used combined approach of all-atom molecular dynamics simulation coupled with neutron scattering technique to study mainly the solvent behavior in this

The aqueous Triton X-100 - Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide micellar mixed system. Experimental results and thermodynamic analysis [PDF]
The micellization process of the aqueous mixed system Triton X-100 (TX100)-Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (DTAB) was studied with a battery of procedures: surface tension, static and dynamic light scattering and ion-selective electrodes. Results were also analysed with two thermodynamic procedures.
