Objectives: An occupational disease (OD) is a disorder or health condition which arises due to work related activities and tasks or is caused by work environment. The impact of ODs on medical and social system may be considered as a very important in relation to mortality, morbidity, and invalidity. The most common ODs in the European Union are musculoskeletal disorders (58% of all ODs in 2015).

The use of air-jet dry powder inhalers (DPIs) offers a number of advantages for the administration of pharmaceutical aerosols, including the ability to achieve highly efficient and potentially targeted aerosol delivery to the lungs of children using the oral or trans-nasal routes of administration. To better plan targeted lung delivery of pharmaceutical aerosols with these inhalers, more information is needed on the extrathoracic (ET) depositional loss in pediatric subjects when using relatively small (e.g.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) have drawn considerable attention in recent years due to their ability to modulate the expression of specific disease-related proteins. However, it is difficult to find safe, robust, and effective RNA delivery systems suitable for pulmonary delivery to treat lung diseases. In this study, two cationic peptides, namely LAH4-L1 and PEGKL4, were employed as non-viral vectors for siRNA and mRNA delivery.

Prenatal cannabis use is associated with neurodevelopmental deficits, likely due to exposure to the psychoactive cannabinoid, (-)-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol, and its active metabolite, (±)-11-OH-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol. To determine causality, preclinical studies mimicking human fetal cannabinoid exposure must be conducted. Here we show cannabinoid concentrations across gestation in maternal plasma and paired fetal tissues in trimester 1 and 2 and maternal plasma and fetal umbilical venous plasma in trimester 3.

In addition to the known therapeutic indications for cannabidiol, its administration by inhalation appears to be of great interest. Indeed, there is evidence of cannabidiol's efficacy in several physiological pathways, suggesting its potential for a wide range of applications for both local and systemic pulmonary administration like cancers. Significant advances in pulmonary drug delivery have led to innovative strategies to address the challenges of increasing the respirable fraction of drugs and standardizing inhalable products.
