Bronchodilator reversibility testing in morbidly obese non-smokers: fluticasone/salmeterol efficacy versus salbutamol bronchodilator
A positive response in reversibility testing is widely used to diagnose patients with airway limitations. However, despite its simple procedure, it doesn ’t accurately reflect the exact airway irreversibility. ... (Source: BMC Pulmonary Medicine)

Benefit of prompt initiation of single-inhaler fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) in patients with COPD in England following an exacerbation: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Prompt initiation of FF/UMEC/VI following a moderate/severe exacerbation was associated with fewer subsequent exacerbations, fewer hospital readmissions, and lower COPD-related medical costs compared with delayed initiation.PMID:37749551 | DOI:10.1186/s12931-023-02523-1 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Cushing's syndrome with inhaled corticosteroid: Drug interactions to avoid
We report the clinical case of a 29-year-old woman with a past history of asthma treated with inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) treated with itraconazole (ITZ), and Mycobacterium xenopi infection treated with moxifloxacin (MXF), ethambutol (EMB) and clarithromycin (CLR). Four months after initiation of antibiotic and antifungal medication, the patient contracted Cushing's syndrome. Its etiology consisted in interaction between FP, ITZ and CLR, which led to pronouncedly increased corticosteroid concentrations in circulating plasma cells. F...

LABA/LAMA versus LABA/ICS fixed-dose combinations in the prevention of COPD exacerbations: a modeling analysis of literature aggregate data
ConclusionsThis study showed that not all LABA/LAMA FDCs were superior to LABA/ICS FDCs in safety and in preventing moderate or severe exacerbations in patients with stable COPD, providing important quantitative information for COPD-related guidelines.

Efficacy and safety of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol and fluticasone propionate monotherapy in step-up treatment of childhood asthma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Asthma, a heterogeneous respiratory disease, is characterized by chronic airway inflammation involving various cellular components such as eosinophils, mast cells, and neutrophils.1 Typical clinical symptoms consist of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest constriction, and coughing. This chronic respiratory disorder is characterized by reversible airway restriction and bronchial hyperreactivity.2,3 Asthma has emerged as one of the most prevalent noncommunicable chronic respiratory diseases affecting children, and its prevalence is rising consistently.

Estimating individual treatment effects on COPD exacerbations by causal machine learning on randomised controlled trials
Conclusions
This study shows that ML models for causal inference can be used to identify individual response to different COPD treatments and highlight treatment traits. Such models could become clinically useful tools for individual treatment decisions in COPD. (Source: Thorax)

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 6619: Multi-Residue Detection of Eight Glucocorticoids by Nano-Au/Fluticasone Propionate Electrochemical Immunosensor
o
Based on an indirect competitive method, a novel nano-Au/fluticasone propionate electrochemical immunosensor was successfully fabricated by combining the nanoscale effect, superior conductivity of nano-Au, stable Au−S chemical bond as well as strong interaction between glucocorticoid and the receptor, which was used to simultaneously detect eight kinds of glucocorticoids. The modified immunosensors’ electrochemical properties were explored by means of a cyclic voltammetry (CV) method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Two factors (glucocorticoid receptor concent...

Understanding the Clinical Implications of Individual Patient Characteristics and Treatment Choice on the Risk of Exacerbation in Asthma Patients with Moderate –Severe Symptoms
ConclusionsIndividual baseline characteristics and treatment choices affect future risk. Achieving comparable levels of symptom control whilst on treatment does not imply comparable risk reduction, as shown by the lower exacerbation rates in FP/SAL vs. BUD/FOR-treated patients. These factors should be considered as a basis for personalised clinical management of patients with moderate –severe asthma. (Source: Advances in Therapy)
