spacer deviceskillMDImetered‐dose inhalerBACKGROUND: The correct use of inhalation devices is essential for successful therapy. We aimed to evaluate the skills in the use of a spacer device with an metered-dose inhaler (MDI) and factors that influence this skill in asthmatic preschool children'...
Can asthma inhalers cause a sore throat? Yes, some asthma inhalers can cause a sore throat, irritation and hoarseness due to the active ingredient, like a corticosteroid, depositing on the back of your throat. Using a spacer device, rinsing your mouth with water after your dose and impro...
Asthma and COPD are defined as different disease entities, but in practice patients often show features of both diseases making it challenging for primary care clinicians to establish a correct diagnosis. We aimed to establish the added value of spirometry and more advanced lung function measurements ...
The present invention relates to a porous base matrix having formyl group, which base matrix has a structure represented by the formula (2) as a spacer, which structure is obtained by cleaving a group represented by the formula (1): wherein, R 1 represents a group forming a five-membered...
Eosinophils are granulocytes that play a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma and other airway diseases. Directing patient treatment based on the level of eosinophilia has been shown to be extremely effective in reducing exacerbations and there

To confine cells in a controlled manner, PDMS spacers produced using soft lithography are placed between the glass bottom of a dish and its “roof” (Le Berre et al.2014; Liu et al.2015) (Table1). The stiffness of PDMS is much higher than the stiffness encountered by immune cells in ...
All asthma and COPD patients were asked to use the placebo pMDI with the INCA and Flo-Tone attached for a total of four recordings under the supervision of an expert clinical reviewer. For the first two recordings, patients were asked to use the inhaler as they normally would (i.e. patien...
