Introduction: Since sinonasal polyposis (SNP) has a high recurrence rate after surgery, various studies have investigated the effect of corticosteroid medications to prevent disease recurrence. The present study was designed to compare the effect of three forms of local corticosteroids on preventing SNP recurrence post-operatively.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind, randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 108 patients with SNP who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Permuted Block Randomization randomly assigned patients into three groups of 36 people: budesonide spray, betamethasone drop, and budesonide nebulizing suspension groups. One and six months after surgery, the patients were evaluated for recurrence of SNP by nasal endoscopy. SNOT 22 questionnaire was used to assess patients' subjective improvement rate pre- and post-operatively.

Results: According to the scores obtained in the Modified Lund-Kennedy Scoring, budesonide nebulizing suspension showed better effects on preventing the recurrence of sino-nasal polyps after FESS compared with betamethasone nasal drops. The score was significantly lower in the budesonide nebulizing suspension group compared to the betamethasone drop group (P=0.043). There was no statistically significant difference in the scores between the budesonide nebulizing suspension group and the betamethasone spray group (P=0.178). Also, we observed significant improvement in facial fullness in patients who received Budesonide nebulizing suspension.

Conclusions: Budesonide nebulizing suspension, compared to betamethasone nasal drops, showed better effects on preventing the recurrence of SNP after FESS.

Background: Guidelines specify steroids as therapy for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, the duration of survival benefit associated with steroids and the optimal dosage of nebulized budesonide (NB) during hospitalization remain unclear.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of hospitalized AECOPD patients.

Purpose: This study evaluated the efficacy of adding budesonide to nebulized lidocaine in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (FB) under topical anaesthesia.

Study Design: Patients aged ≥18 years, scheduled for FB under topical anaesthesia were randomized into two groups: the combination group received a pre-treatment of 2 ml 1 mg budesonide with 5 ml 2% lidocaine, whilst the lidocaine group received 5 ml 2% lidocaine with 2 ml saline solution, both administered via nebulization. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and percutaneous oxygen saturation were recorded before, during, and 10 min after FB.

Background: Choosing effective devices (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]-long-acting β2 agonist [LABA] combination inhalers) as maintenance treatment is critical for managing patients with asthma. We aimed to compare ICS/LABA combination efficacy, safety, and adherence across inhaler types and components in patients newly diagnosed with asthma.

Methods: Utilizing South Korea's National Health Insurance Service data, we conducted a population-based cohort study involving patients aged 18-80 years, newly diagnosed with asthma who received ICS/LABA combination therapy between January 2016 and December 2020.

A simple LC method has been developed and validated for estimating budesonide (epimer B + A) and formoterol fumarate dihydrate in dry powder inhalation. The development results of this study make it very significant. The degradation and process impurities in EP and ChP were identified in addition to budesonide and formoterol fumarate.
