Dose emission and aerodynamic characterization of the terbutaline sulphate dose emitted from a Turbuhaler at low inhalation flowAbdelrahim, M.E.A., Assi, Khaled H., Chrystyn, Henry January 2013 (has links)
No / Previously, dose emission below 30 L min(-1) through DPI has not been routinely determined. However, during routine use some patients do not achieve 30 L min(-1) inhalation flows. Hence, the aim of the present study was to determine dose emission characteristics for low inhalation flows from terbutaline sulphate Turbuhaler. Total emitted dose (TED), fine particle dose (FPD) and mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of terbutaline sulphate Turbuhaler were determined using inhalation flows of 10-60 L min(-1) and inhaled volume of 4 L. TED and FPD increase significantly with the increase of inhalation flows (p <0.05). Flows had more pronounced effect on FPD than TED, thus, faster inhalation increases respirable amount more than it increases emitted dose. MMAD increases with decrease of inhalation flow until flow of 20L min(-1) then it decreases. In vitro flow dependent dose emission has been demonstrated previously for Turbuhaler for flow rates above 30 L min(-1) but is more pronounced below this flow. Minimal FPD below 30 L min(-1) suggests that during routine use at this flow rate most of emitted dose will impact in mouth. Flow dependent dose emission results suggest that Pharmacopoeias should consider the use variety of inhalation flows rather than one that is equivalent to pressure drop of 4 KPa.

Procena efikasnosti kombinovane antiinflamatorne terapije u postizanju dobre kontrole astme u zavisnosti od navike pušenja / Efficacy assessment of the combined anti-inflammatory treatment in the improvement of asthma control in regard to the smoking habitHromiš Sanja 07 June 2016 (has links)
<p>Uvod: Pušenje predstavlja jedan od najznačajnijih uzroka loše kontrole astme, zbog iritativnog dejstva duvanskog dima na disajne puteve i razvoja rezistencije na inhalatorne kortikosteroide. Stoga je pušače sa astmom često potrebno lečiti kombinovanom antiinflamatornom terapijom, iako je efikasnost ovakvog tretmana još uvek nedovoljno ispitana. Cilj: utvrditi efikasnost kombinovane antiinflamatorne terapije: inhalatorni kortikosteroidi (ICS) u kombinaciji sa dugodelujućim beta2-adrenergičkim agonistima (DDBA) u odnosu na ICS u kombinaciji sa antagonistima leukotrijenskih receptora (ALTR) u postizanju dobre kontrole astme, poboljšanju kvaliteta života i plućne funkcije kod pušača u odnosu na nepušače sa astmom. Metod: Pacijenti starosti od 18-50 godina sa astmom (≥6meseci), FEV1 većim od 60%, podeljeni su u grupu nepušača –NP (N=60) i aktivnih pušača –PU (≤2 ≥15 p/g i ≥10≤40 cigareta na dan; N=60). Obe grupe su randomizovane u jednu od dve, otvorene, terapijske grupe (ICS uz dodatak DDBA ili ALTR) u trajanju od 24 nedelje. Rezultati: u svakoj od 4 randomizovane grupe (NP-DDBA, NP-ALTR, PU-DDBA, PU-ALTR) je bilo po 30 pacijenata. Tokom 24 nedelje, PU su imali lošije kontrolisanu astmu od NP (p=0,02), bez ralizke između DDBA vs ALTR (0,677 vs 0,634). Konstantno dobru kontrolu astme (ACQ<0,75) tokom 24 nedelje je postiglo 48% NP i 32% PU (p=0,094), bez značajne razlike u odnosu na terapiju (DDBA vs ALTR; p=1,000). NP su imali bolji kvalitet života od PU, ali razlika nije dostigla statističku značajnost (p=0,056)- Kod NP i kod PU u oba modaliteta lečenja (LABA, ALTR) je došlo do statistički značajne promene srednjeg skora AQLQ (p<0,001). Povećanje FEV1(%) je bilo statistički značajno i u grupi NP i u grupi PU (p=0,001 vs. p=0,002). Kod pacijenata lečenih DDBA povećenje FEV(%) je bilo na nivou p=0,001, dok je u grupu ALTR bilo na nivou p=0,005. Multivarijantnom analizom je utvrđeno da su nezavisni faktori postizanja dobre kontrole astme BMI≥24, nepušač, FEV1≥90%, ACQ≤2,2 i AQLQ≥4,2 Zaključak: Kombinovana antiinflamatorna terapija je efikasnija kod NP u odnosu na PU, dok su u populaciji aktivnih pušača, oba dodatna leka (DDBA, ALTR) bila podjednako efikasna u poboljšanju kontrole astme, kvaliteta života i plućne funkcije.</p> / <p>Introduction: Smoking is one of the major causes of a bad asthma control, due to negative effects of the tobacco smoke on the airways and consequent resistance to inhalant corticosteroids. Smoking asthmatics should therefore often be treated with combined anti-inflammatory therapy, although the efficacy of this treatment regimen has not been completely examined yet. Objective: To examine the efficacy of the combined anti-inflammatory therapy (ICS combined to LABA vs.LTRA) in achieving a good asthma control, better quality of life and improved lung function in smoking vs. nonsmoking asthmatics. Method: The patients at 18-50 years of age with asthma (≥6 months), FEV1 > 60%, were subclassified into the group of nonsmokers –NS (N=60), and the group of active smokers - SM (≤2 ≥15 p/g and ≥10≤40 cigarettes a day; N=60). Both groups were randomized into one of the two open therapy groups (ICS combined to DDBA or ALTR), receiving the selected treatment for 24 weeks. Results: Any of the four randomized groups (NS-LABA, NS-LTRA, SM-LABA, SM-LTRA) consisted of 30 patients. During the 24-week period, SM had a worse control of their asthma than NS (p=0.02), but no difference was registered between DDBA vs. ALTR therapy subgroups (0.677 vs. 0.634). Over the 24-week period, a constantly good asthma control (ACQ≤0,75) was achieved by 48% of NS and 32% of SM (p=0.094), and no significant difference related to the applied therapy regimen (LABA vs. LTRA; p=1.000). NS had a better life quality than SM, but this difference remained statistically insignificant (p=0.056). Both the NS and the SM group in either treatment modality (LABA, ALTR) had a statistically significant change of the AQLQ score (p<0.001). FEV1 (%) improvement was statistically significant t in both the NS and the SM group (p=0.001 vs. p=0.002). The LABA and LTRA treated patients had their FEV (%) improvement at the level of p=0.001, and p=0.005 respectively. The multivariate analysis has established the following independent factors of a good asthma control: BMI≥24, nonsmoker, FEV1≥90%, ACQ≤2.2, and AQLQ≥4.2. Conclusion: The combined anti-inflammatory therapy is more efficient in NS than in SM asthmatics, while in the population of active smokers, both additional drugs (LABA, LTRA) were equally efficient in improving asthma control, life quality, and lung function.</p>
