Metal Cluster's Effect on the Optical Properties of Cesium Bromide Thin Films [PDF]

, 2011
Cesium Bromide films grown of glass substrates by thermal evaporation showed interesting optical properties. The UV-visible absorption spectra showed peaks which showed red shift with time. Structural and morphological studies suggested decrease in grain size with time which was unusual.

Clinical Application Guideline of Combination With Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (2024)

Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common chronic airway disease that can lead to decreased lung function in patients. It places a heavy economic burden on patients and society. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine have played important roles in managing COPD.

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]

, 2018
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 ...

Preparation of Highly Crystalline TiO2 Nanostructures by Acid-assisted Hydrothermal Treatment of Hexagonal-structured Nanocrystalline Titania/Cetyltrimethyammonium Bromide Nanoskeleton [PDF]

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2010, 5:1829-1835, 2010
Highly crystalline TiO2 nanostructures were prepared through a facile inorganic acid-assisted hydrothermal treatment of hexagonal-structured assemblies of nanocrystalline titiania templated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (Hex-ncTiO2/CTAB Nanoskeleton) as starting materials.

Dose of Inhaled Corticosteroid in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Risks of Osteoporosis or Fracture—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2025.
High‐dose, but not medium‐ and low‐dose, ICS use in COPD is associated with risks of osteoporosis or fractures. ABSTRACT Background Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is a major pharmacotherapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is associated with various adverse effects.

Femtosecond study of the effects of ions on the reorientation dynamics of water [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Liquids Volume: 176 Special Issue: SI Pages: 22-28, Dec. 2012, 2013
We study the effects of ions on the reorientation dynamics of liquid water with polarization-resolved femtosecond mid-infared spectroscopy. We probe the anisotropy of the excitation of the O-D stretch vibration of HDO molecules in solutions of NaCl, NaI and tetra-alkylammonium bromide salts in 8 percent HDO:H2O.

What is the influence of exacerbations on pulmonary function in pediatric and adolescent patients with severe asthma despite controller therapies?

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Background Although exacerbations are common in severe asthma, there have been few longitudinal studies evaluating their effect on lung function parameters. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of exacerbations on lung function in children and adolescents with severe asthma in Brazil.

Inhaled corticosteriod use and the risk of pneumonia and COPD exacerbations in the UPLIFT study [PDF]

, 2017
Rationale Unlike many other COPD studies, the 4-year UPLIFT trial permitted inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use during run-in and treatment phases. This provided the opportunity to prospectively observe the continuing effects of ICS on respiratory events in
