Infants of smokers have much higher rates of respiratory infection, asthma and airway disease.
The current study assessed the effects of maternal smoking in pregnancy on neonatal toll-…

Ionic detergents reduce electrostatic charge on plastic spacers, thereby improving in vitro
drug delivery. The aim of this study was to gain practical information on the use of detergents …

Background: A recently proposed method for classifying preschool wheeze is to describe it as
either episodic (viral) wheeze or multiple trigger wheeze. In research studies, phenotype is …

Several in vitro and in vivo studies have emphasized the importance of generating a high
inspiratory flow when using a dry powder inhaler. Little attention has been paid to the influence …

Background and objective: Adherence with preventive asthma medication by young children
is an important factor when evaluating a suboptimal response to treatment. However, few …

Objective: To compare lung deposition from a nebulizer and a pressurized metered-dose
inhaler (pMDI)/holding chamber to determine their efficiency in aerosol delivery to children. …

BACKGROUND: A study was undertaken to determine the influences of electrostatic charge,
flow, delay, and multiple actuations on the in vitro delivery of salbutamol generated by a …

This study investigates the impact of measuring adherence and providing feedback on
medication usage by children with unstable asthma. Adherence was measured using an …

Two-dimensional (2D or planar) imaging with 99m Tc radiolabels enables quantification of
whole-lung and regional lung depositions for orally inhaled drug products. This article …
