RespiraTox - Development of a QSAR model to predict human respiratory irritants.

Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP
Respiratory irritation is an important human health endpoint in chemical risk assessment. There are two established modes of action of respiratory irritation, 1) sensory irritation mediated by the interaction with sensory neurons, potentially stimula...

In vitro and in vivo performance modelling and optimisation of different dry powder inhalers: A complementary study of neural networks, genetic algorithms and decision trees.

International journal of clinical practice
INTRODUCTION: Aerosol delivery from DPIs could be affected by different factors. This study aimed to evaluate and predict the effects of different factors on drug delivery from DPIs.

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation of meropenem after intravenous and intrathecal administration in postoperative neurosurgical patients.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
Combined intravenous and local intrathecal administration of meropenem in patients after craniotomy is widely used to treat intracranial infections. However, the optimal dosing regimen of meropenem has not been investigated, posing a risk to treatmen...

Aerosol delivery during spontaneous breathing with different types of nebulizers- in vitro/ex vivo models evaluation.

Pulmonary pharmacology & therapeutics
BACKGROUND: Nebulizers for spontaneous breathing have been evaluated through different study designs. There are limitations in simulated bench models related to patient and nebulizer factors. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of ...

Efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in adult patients with mild-to-moderate asthma not receiving inhaled corticosteroids.

Respiratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a heterogeneous and complex disease in both its clinical course and response to treatment. IL-13 is central to Type 2 inflammation and contributes to many features of asthma. In a previous Phase 2 study, lebrikizumab, an anti-IL...

Energy Efficient Monitoring of Metered Dose Inhaler Usage.

Journal of medical systems
Life-long chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways, such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, are very common worldwide, affecting people of all ages, race and gender. One of the most important aspects for the effective management...

Exchanging expertise and constructing boundaries: The development of a transnational knowledge network around heroin-assisted treatment.

The International journal on drug policy
Over the last 20 years, supervised injectable and inhalable heroin prescribing has been developed, tested and in some cases introduced as a second line treatment for limited groups of entrenched heroin users in a number of European countries and Cana...

Efficacy and safety of inhaled N-acetylcysteine in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A prospective, single-arm study.

Respiratory investigation
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with few treatment options. The efficacy of N-acetylcysteine in patients with IPF remains controversial. The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of inhaled...

Exploring nanoparticles in lungs under COPD conditions for nanospray drug flow and deposition: CFD simulations and AI predictions.

International journal of pharmaceutics
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) plays a heavy burden on individuals and the social health system, not only causing direct medical costs but also economic losses. Today, treatments for COPD include drugs, bronchodilators, and oxygen thera...
