Dos and don'ts to optimize transnasal aerosol drug delivery in clinical practice.

Introduction: Transnasal aerosol drug delivery has become widely accepted for treating acutely ill infants, children, and adults. More recently aerosol administration to wider populations receiving high and low-flow nasal oxygen has become common practice.

Areas Covered: Skepticism of insufficient aerosol delivery to the lungs has been tempered by multiple in vitro explorations of variables to optimize delivery efficiency.

Filling the gaps in the evaluation and selection of mobile health technologies in respiratory medicine.

Introduction: Mobile health (mHealth) technology in respiratory medicine is a fast-growing and promising digital technology that is popular among patients and healthcare providers (HCPs). They provide reminders and step-by-step instructions for the correct inhalation technique, monitor patients' adherence to treatment, and facilitate communication between patients and HCPs.

Areas Covered: While numerous mHealth apps have been developed over the years, most applications do not have supporting evidence.

Investigation of the synergistic effect of platelet-rich plasma and polychromatic light on human dermal fibroblasts seeded chitosan/gelatin scaffolds for wound healing.

Conventional wound healing treatments are insufficient for chronic wounds caused by factors such as senescence of fibroblasts, reduced growth factor synthesis, and poor angiogenesis. Recently, tissue engineering approaches have been investigated to develop effective therapies. In this study, a biochemical/biophysical stimulant-based 3D system was developed for the healing of chronic wounds.
