Berodual (Duovent) was tested in 40 bronchial asthma patients in comparison with a similar group treated with fenoterol. The results of FEV1.0 investigation showed no significant differences: increases of 15% were noted in both groups. In two other groups (40 bronchial asthma cases each) treated with berodual and Atrovent, respectively FEV1.0 values were significantly different: increased by 5% in the Atrovent group, and by 15% in the berodual one. Berodual showed the advantage of inducing the same strong bronchodilation of similar duration, though applied in doses by far smaller than fenoterol or Atrovent. A diminution of the clinical evolution score from 3 to 0.7, an increase by 15%; in FEV1.0, and no changes as regards the immunological tests (IgA, IgG, IgM, Clq, C3) were obtained in the group treated with berodual for 4 weeks.

Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of lipid metabolism in macrophages concerning lung inflammation. However, it remains unclear whether lipid metabolism is involved in macrophage extracellular traps (METs). We analyzed the GSE40885 dataset from the GEO database using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and further selection using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression.

Drug-induced eosinophilic pneumonia (EP) is an uncommon adverse drug reaction. Many drugs have been reported to cause EP, the evidence mainly being in the form of case reports/case series. This study aims to conduct an exploratory analysis of the United States Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database to identify previously unknown drugs that can cause EP and supplement the available evidence for known culprit drugs.

Aim: We aimed to identify enablers and barriers of using primary care routine data for healthcare research, to formulate recommendations for improving efficiency in knowledge discovery.
Background: Data recorded routinely in primary care can be used for estimating the impact of interventions provided within routine care for all people who are clinically eligible. Despite official promotion of 'efficient trial designs', anecdotally researchers in the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research (AUKCAR) have encountered multiple barriers to accessing and using routine data.
