Interstitial Macrophages: Immune Cells That Prevent Asthma
Source: Allergy News From Medical News Today [2009.11.10]
Microbe-derived molecules able to stimulate the immune system are omnipresent in the air, and the presence of one such molecule (LPS) promotes asthma in some individuals. What prevents inhalation of LPS from promoting asthma in the majority of individuals is not well understood. However, Fabrice Bureau and colleagues, at the University of Liège, Belgium, have now ascribed this function in mice to a population of lung immune cells known as lung interstitial macrophages (IMs).
New Published Study Shows Masimo Rainbow SET(R) Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM) Reliably Determines Carbon Monoxide Levels In The Blood
Source: Blood / Hematology News From Medical News Today [2009.11.06]
Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI), the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM) and Measure-Through Motion and Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, announced that a new peer-reviewed clinical study published in this month's Inhalation Toxicology demonstrates that Masimo Rainbow SET® Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpCO) provides reliable measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) in the blood that facilitate fast, accurate diagnosis of CO poisoning in pre-hospital emergency and rescue environments.

Advanced Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADLS), announced positive results from an animal study involving its novel, once-a-day, oral antibiotic Restanza(TM) (cethromycin) that was conducted to measure Restanza's therapeutic efficacy in treating inhalation anthrax after symptoms of infection had developed.
Published Studies Related to Proventil ( Inhalation)
Time to extubation in infants undergoing pyloromyotomy -- isoflurane inhalation vs remifentanil infusion. [2009.06]
BACKGROUND: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) associated with metabolic alkalosis, could induce late anesthesia recovery, especially when opioids are used. The aim of this study was to compare the time of extubation and the quality of perioperative analgesia in infants scheduled for pyloromyotomy, receiving either isoflurane inhalation or remifentanil infusion... CONCLUSION: Remifentanil provided better intraoperative analgesia than isoflurane in infants undergoing pyloromyotomy without increasing time to extubation.
Robotic laparoscopic radical cystectomy inhalational versus total intravenous anesthesia: a pilot study. [2009.06]
BACKGROUND: Robotic assistance may refine laparoscopic radical cystectomy. Steep Trendelenburg tilt (TT) and pneumoperitoneum (PP) are challenging anesthesia maneuvers. In view of those maneuvers, would inhalational anesthesia or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) be the more appropriate anesthetic management for this kind of surgery? This issue is under consideration in this clinical trial... CONCLUSIONS: Though the number of patients is small in this study (n = 15), it nevertheless brings to light the advantages of TIVA during the robotic laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RLRC), by shortening the duration of PP without an increase in prothrombin and fibrinogen concentrations. A lager number of clinical trial are needed to further clarify this issue.
Effects of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol hydrofluoroalkane inhalation aerosol on asthma-related quality of life. [2009.04]
BACKGROUND: Current asthma guidelines emphasize domains of impairment and risk for assessing severity and control, noting the need to consider separately the effects of asthma on asthma quality of life and functional capacity. Proper treatment to control asthma should result in improvements in patient well-being and functional status. OBJECTIVE: To assess asthma-related quality of life after treatment with combination fluticasone propionate and salmeterol delivered via hydrofluoroalkane 134a metered-dose inhaler compared with the individual components alone... CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with combination fluticasone propionate and salmeterol delivered via hydrofluoroalkane metered-dose inhaler resulted in significantly greater improvements in asthma-related quality of life compared with individual components and placebo administered via traditional chlorofluorocarbon metered-dose inhaler.
Effects of escitalopram on anxiety and respiratory responses to carbon dioxide inhalation in subjects at high risk for panic disorder: a placebo-controlled, crossover study. [2009.04]
BACKGROUND: Individuals with panic disorder and those at high risk for panic disorder due to a positive family history seem to have elevated sensitivities to the panicogenic effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) inhalation as well as abnormal ventilatory responses to low doses of CO2 exposure. Many reports have described a reduction in anxiety responses in individuals with panic disorder after a brief treatment with a variety of medications effective in the treatment of panic disorder, but few of these have used placebo control... CONCLUSIONS: Escitalopram did not produce greater changes than placebo in panic responses or in ventilatory abnormalities seen during CO2 exposure. Future studies concerning the effects of antidepressants on responses to CO2 challenge should use a placebo-controlled design.
Effects of moderate acute isovolaemic haemodilution on myocardial function in patients undergoing coronary surgery under volatile inhalational anaesthesia. [2009.03]
When myocardial oxygen demand is increased by elevated heart rate in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery under total intravenous anaesthesia, acute isovolaemic haemodilution may be associated with a deterioration of cardiac function... Left ventricular pressure-derived data remained unchanged with acute isovolaemic haemodilution in both groups.
Clinical Trials Related to Proventil ( Inhalation)
Safety and Tolerability Study of Levalbuterol HFA and Racemic Albuterol HFA in Pediatrics Subjects With Asthma [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of levalbuterol HFA
metered dose inhaler (MDI) versus racemic albuterol HFA MDI in pediatric subjects 4-11 years
of age with asthma
Controlled, 12-Week Study of Albuterol HFA Versus the Active Control, Proventil(R)-HFA in Asthmatic Patients [Active, not recruiting]
This 12-week clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Albuterol Sulfate HFA
Inhalation Aerosol (Albuterol-HFA, or: A004), Armstrong's proposed HFA formulation of metered
dose inhaler (MDI) of Albuterol (Treatment T), in comparison with:
1. Placebo control: (HFA propellant only, Treatment P); and
2. Active control: 3M/Key's Proventil-HFA (Treatment R).
The treatments will be given as self-administered oral inhalations in adult and adolescent
patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, for 12-weeks. Dosing regimen throughout the 12-week
study is two actuations four times daily (QID).
