Chinese expert consensus on interventional diagnosis and management of acquired digestive ‐respiratory tract fistulas (second edition)
AbstractAcquired digestive-respiratory tract fistulas occur with abnormal communication between the respiratory tract and digestive tract caused by a variety of benign or malignant diseases, leading to the alimentary canal contents in the respiratory tract. Although various departments have been actively exploring advanced fistula closure techniques, including surgical methods and multimodal therapy, some of which have gotten good clinical effects, there are few large-scale evidence-based medical data to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment. The guidelines update the etiology, classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and...

From the infant to the geriatric patient —Strategies for inhalation therapy in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Inhalation therapy is a highly individualized concept of therapy. Age, maturity and comorbidities have to be considered when choosing a specific inhalation device. Standardized algorithms may support this decision process. A close monitoring is essential as it may detect handling mistakes and the need to modify the device concept. A routine reevaluation of the inhalation concept should be implemented with age, maturation and new occurring comorbidities. AbstractInhalation therapy represents the standard of care in children, adolescents as well as in young, middle-aged and geriatric adults with asthma or chronic obstructive...
