Two educational sessions were held in the experiment group about how-to-use peak flow meter. Accordingly, the patients in the experiment group sent their peak flow rates via SMS to the researcher within 12 weeks. The researchers provided feedback to the patients about their asthma control via ...
Asthma Inhalers Help Deliver Medicine to the Airways Modern inhaler devices for asthma came into widespread use between the 1950s and the 1980s. [2] Today, inhalers are synonymous with asthma treatment. There Are 2 Main Types of Inhalers Inhalers can deliver medicines to the airways that hel...

clinic under observation, for one hour. During this time there will be have further measurements of the pulse, blood pressure and peak respiratory flow. At some intervals during the 3- year desensitization, the patient will be asked to have a blood test to monitor the specific antibodies to ...
The scoping exercise identified a substantial literature on the broader concept of 'health informa‑ tion' but a lack of reporting of the general public's access to and use of health research. It found that 'traditional' sources of information are still relevant...
Mild asthma: steroid rescue therapy an option The authors suggested that it is possible to treat MPA with short, intermittent courses of inhaled or oral corticosteroids taken when symptoms worsen because they did not find a difference between groups in morning peak flow expiratory flows, postbronchod...
the considerable cost of using renewable energy to bring down the UK’s fossil-fueled generation fraction from the global mean 67% to 61% is not taken into account, though, strictly speaking, an appropriate share of the cost of “renewable” electricity generation should be assigned to electric...
