Managing moderate-to-severe paediatric asthma: a scoping review of the efficacy and safety of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol
CONCLUSIONS: FP/SAL is a reliable treatment option in patients not achieving control with ICS monotherapy or a different ICS/LABA combination. Evidence shows that FP/SAL is well tolerated and has a similar safety profile to FP monotherapy. Thus, FP/SAL provides an effective option for the management of moderate-to-severe asthma in the paediatric population.PMID:37620110 | DOI:10.1136/bmjresp-2023-001706 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Upper Respiratory Tract OC43 Infection Model for Investigating Airway Immune-modifying Therapies
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol. 2023 Aug 21. doi: 10.1165/rcmb.2023-0202MA. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRespiratory virus infections initiate and transmit from the upper respiratory tract (URT). Coronaviruses, including OC43, are a major cause of respiratory infection and disease. Failure to mount an effective anti-viral immune response in the nasal mucosa increases the risk of severe disease and person to person transmission highlighting the need for URT infection models to support development of nasal treatments that improve coronavirus anti-viral immunity. We aimed to determine if OC43 productively infected the mouse URT a...

Mortality risk reduction with budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate versus fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol in COPD: a matching-adjusted indirect comparison based on ETHOS and IMPACT
CONCLUSION: In this MAIC, which adjusted for population heterogeneity between ETHOS and IMPACT, ACM was significantly reduced with BGF versus FF/UMEC/VI in patients with moderate-to-very severe COPD.PMID:37583267 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2023.2247969 (Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion)

A comparative study of human and zebrafish glucocorticoid receptor activities of natural and pharmaceutical steroids
IntroductionThe action of environmental steroids on the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) has been pointed out with the risk to impair physiological immune and metabolic processes regulated by this nuclear receptor. However, there is still a lack of mechanistic information regarding their ability to interact with GR in aquatic species.MethodsTo investigate ligand activation differences between hGR and zebrafish GR (zfGR), we tested several natural and synthetic steroids using reporter cell lines expressing hGR or zfGR.Results and discussionAlmost all the glucocorticoids tested (dexamethasone, cortisol, bimedrazol, medrol...
