A controlled trial of two forms of self-management education for adults with asthma.

PURPOSE: Excess morbidity and mortality due to asthma, aggravated by demonstrably poor patient self-management practices, suggest the need for formal patient education programs. Individual and group asthma education programs were developed and evaluated to determine their cognitive, behavioral, and clinical effects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared changes in asthma symptoms, utilization of medical services, knowledge about asthma, metered-dose inhaler (MDI) technique, and self-management behaviors for 323 adult Kaiser Permanente patients with moderate to severe asthma who were randomly assi

Bronchodilators for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease (CLD) occurs frequently in preterm infants. Bronchodilators have the potential effect of dilating small airways with muscle hypertrophy. Increase in compliance and tidal volume and decrease in pulmonary resistance have been documented with use of bronchodilators in studies of pulmonary mechanics in infants with CLD. Therefore, it is possible that bronchodilators might have a role in the prevention and treatment of CLD. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of bronchodilators given either prophylactically or as treatment for CLD on mortality and other complicatio

Pharmacological interventions for the acute management of hyperkalaemia in adults.

BACKGROUND: Hyperkalaemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte disturbance which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias and death. Renal replacement therapy is known to be effective in treating hyperkalaemia, but safe and effective pharmacological interventions are needed to prevent dialysis or avoid the complications of hyperkalaemia until dialysis is performed. OBJECTIVES: This review looked at the benefits and harms of pharmacological treatments used in the acute management of hyperkalaemia in adults. This review evaluated the therapies that reduce serum potassium as well as those that p

Cromolyn sodium for the prevention of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease (CLD) frequently occurs in preterm infants (< 37 weeks gestational age) and has a multifactorial etiology including inflammation. Cromolyn sodium is a mast cell stabiliser that inhibits neutrophil activation and neutrophil chemotaxis. Therefore it is possible that cromolyn sodium might have a role in the prevention of CLD. QUESTION: in preterm infants, does the prophylactic administration of cromolyn sodium reduce the incidence of CLD, mortality or the combined outcome of mortality or CLD at 28 days of life without undue side effects? SEARCH STRATEGY: The sea

Bronchodilators for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease (CLD) occurs frequently in preterm infants (< 37 weeks gestational age) and has a multifactorial etiology. Bronchodilators have the potential effect of dilating small airways with muscle hypertrophy. Increase in compliance and tidal volume and decrease in pulmonary resistance have been documented with use of bronchodilators in short term studies of pulmonary mechanics in infants with CLD. Therefore it is possible that bronchodilators might have a role in the prevention and treatment of CLD. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of bronchodilators, given prophylac

Exploring the relevance and extent of small airways dysfunction in asthma (ATLANTIS): baseline data from a prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Small airways dysfunction (SAD) is well recognised in asthma, yet its role in the severity and control of asthma is unclear. This study aimed to assess which combination of biomarkers, physiological tests, and imaging markers best measure the presence and extent of SAD in patients with asthma. METHODS: In this baseline assessment of a multinational prospective cohort study (the Assessment of Small Airways Involvement in Asthma [ATLANTIS] study), we recruited participants with and without asthma (defined as Global Initiative for Asthma severity stages 1-5) from general practices, t

Bronchodilators for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease (CLD) occurs frequently in preterm infants. Bronchodilators have the potential effect of dilating small airways with muscle hypertrophy. Increased compliance and tidal volume and decreased pulmonary resistance have been documented with the use of bronchodilators in infants with CLD. Therefore, bronchodilators might have a role in the prevention and treatment of CLD. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of bronchodilators given as prophylaxis or as treatment for CLD on mortality and other complications of preterm birth in infants at risk for or identified as hav

Asthma symptoms, severity, and control with and without a clinical diagnosis of asthma in early adolescence in sub-Saharan Africa: a multi-country, school-based, cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Rapid urbanisation and population growth in sub-Saharan Africa has increased the incidence of asthma in children and adolescents. One major barrier to achieving good asthma control in these adolescents is obtaining a clinical diagnosis. To date, there are scant data on prevalence and severity of asthma in undiagnosed yet symptomatic adolescents. We therefore aimed to assess symptom prevalence and severity, the effect of symptoms on daily life, and objective evidence of asthma in young adolescents from sub-Saharan Africa with and without a clinical diagnosis of asthma by spirometry

Effects of pre-transplant chest physical therapy on spirometric values and respiratory muscle strength in patients waiting for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a randomized controlled trial.

IntroductionMany noninfectious pulmonary complications occur immediately within the first few weeks after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chest physical therapy (CPT) performed during the pre-transplant period in terms of spirometric values and respiratory muscle strength (RMS) in patients waiting for allo-HSCT.Material and methodsFifty patients aged 40 to 55 years who were scheduled for allo-HSCT were randomly allocated into two equal-sized groups, a CPT group and a control group. The CPT group (n = 25) received CPT

Радиум - с момента открытия и до настоящего времени - обзор событий.

После его открытия радий первоначально пропагандировался в качестве терапевтического агента для широкого круга заболеваний, включая расстройства кожи, аллергию, проблемы зрения, боль в суставах и общее средство для укрепления здоровья. Однако последующие исследования продемонстрировали ее значительную радиологическую токсичность и вредное воздействие на здоровье человека. Несмотря на эти риски, более чем через сто лет после его открытия, некоторые радиевые изотопы по-прежнему имеют ограниченное применение в медицинских целях, особенно при лечении конкретных раковых заболеваний. После поглощени

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with short-acting inhaled pharmacotherapy increases the risk of prostate cancer: A two-stage database approach.

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at a higher risk of many types of cancer. However, specific investigation of the risk of prostate cancer and the influence of COPD pharmacotherapy in patients with COPD is lacking.

Snail and Slug collaborate on EMT and tumor metastasis through miR-101-mediated EZH2 axis in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Lung diseases, including COVID-19 and lung cancers, is a huge threat to human health. However, for the treatment and diagnosis of various lung diseases, such as pneumonia, asthma, cancer, and pulmonary tuberculosis, are becoming increasingly challenging. Currently, several types of treatments and/or diagnostic methods are used to treat lung diseases; however, the occurrence of adverse reactions to chemotherapy, drug-resistant bacteria, side effects that can be significantly toxic, and poor drug delivery necessitates the development of more promising treatments. Nanotechnology, as an emerging t

Overcoming resistance to anabolic SARM therapy in experimental cancer cachexia with an HDAC inhibitor.

No approved therapy exists for cancer-associated cachexia. The colon-26 mouse model of cancer cachexia mimics recent late-stage clinical failures of anabolic anti-cachexia therapy and was unresponsive to anabolic doses of diverse androgens, including the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GTx-024. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) AR-42 exhibited anti-cachectic activity in this model. We explored combined SARM/AR-42 therapy as an improved anti-cachectic treatment paradigm. A reduced dose of AR-42 provided limited anti-cachectic benefits, but, in combination with GTx-024, sign
