Long-term general and cardiovascular safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
2016
Abstract Background Long-term safety, particularly cardiovascular safety, is of special interest in maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with long-acting β 2 -agonists and long-acting muscarinic antagonists, given potential cardiovascular effects. Methods Two 52-week Phase III trials (TONADO ® ) investigated tiotropium/olodaterol (5/5 and 2.5/5 μg) versus tiotropium 2.5, 5 μg and olodaterol 5 μg. In a pre-specified safety analysis, investigator-reported treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), electrocardiogram and laboratory data were pooled. All serious AE (SAE) reports were reviewed by an independent Adjudication Committee, which assessed whether deaths, …
Lung function and long-term safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in East Asian patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
2017
Background and purpose While the efficacy and safety of combined tiotropium and olodaterol in patients with COPD was established in a large clinical trial program, it is important to assess whether clinical data can be applied to geographic patient groups, particularly for East Asian patients who may have a different phenotypic profile to the global trial population. This study aimed to compare the lung function and safety profiles of tiotropium/olodaterol and monocomponents in East Asian and global populations from the TONADO® trials. Materials and methods In the replicate, double-blind, parallel-group, active-controlled, randomized, 52-week, Phase III TONADO studies, patients received tio…
Apparent vs real effects of scopolamine on the learning of an active avoidance task.
1996
The effects of scopolamine hydrobromide (0.5 and 2 mg/ kg) administered intraperitoneally to Balb/c male mice before or after training in active avoidance were explored in four training sessions and in a subsequent test session, free of drug. Animals given scopolamine prior to training performed better than controls, an effect that was reversed in the session free of drug. However, a deeper analysis of the data permits us to interpret this increment in the number of avoidance responses as a consequence of the increase in activity produced by the drug and not as learning. In the animals injected with scopolamine after sessions no effects were observed. In conclusion, the results of the prese…
Comparison of octreotide and hyoscine butylbromide in controlling gastrointestinal symptoms due to malignant inoperable bowel obstruction
2000
In advanced cancer patients with inoperable bowel obstruction, the administration of antisecretive and antiemetic drugs has proved to be effective in controlling gastrointestinal symptoms caused by bowel obstruction. However, controlled studies concerning the most effective antisecretive drug are lacking. The aim of this randomized controlled study was to determine whether octreotide or hyoscine butylbromide was the more effective antisecretive drug for use in states of inoperable bowel obstruction. Eighteen patients with inoperable bowel obstruction randomly received octreotide 0.3 mg daily (n = 9) or hyoscine butylbromide (HB) 60 mg daily (n = 9) s.c. The following parameters were measure…
Distigmine bromide induced acute psychotic disorder in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
2003
AbstractA female patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffered from an acute psychotic disorder after taking distigmine bromide for detrusor dysfunction. She showed a dramatic relief of her symptoms after the medication, distigmine bromide, was stopped. Distigmine is not supposed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, in MS patients a leakage of the BBB could be hypothesized.

We evaluated the impact of free combination of the long-acting anticholinergic tiotropium plus the long-acting β2-agonist ol…
Complexes of an anionic poly(p-phenylene) polyelectrolyte and dioctadecylammonium bromide at the air–water interface
1999
Abstract By spreading dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide on a subphase containing rigid rod-like anionic poly( p -phenylene) sulfonate, a complex monolayer is formed in situ at the air–water interface. Complexation results in an increase of the area per amphiphile molecule compared to the amphiphile on pure water. The change in structural order upon complexation and subsequent compression of the monolayer can be demonstrated employing UV/Vis spectroscopy: A red-shift of the polymer absorption band upon compression and a subsequent partial reversion of this shift after monolayer collapse can be observed. The peak shift is discussed to be a result of the electronic interaction of the π -syst…
Effect of alloying elements on the electronic properties of thin passive films formed on carbon steel, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels in a …
2014
The influence of alloying elements on the electrochemical and semiconducting properties of thin passive films formed on several steels (carbon steel, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels) has been studied in a highly concentrated lithium bromide (LiBr) solution at 25 °C, by means of potentiodynamic tests and Mott Schottky analysis. The addition of Cr to carbon steel promoted the formation of a p-type semiconducting region in the passive film. A high Ni contentmodified the electronic behaviour of highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels.Mo did notmodify the electronic structure of the passive films, but reduced the concentration of defects.
Linear assembly of lead bromide-based nanoparticles inside lead(ii) polymers prepared by mixing the precursors of both the nanoparticle and the polym…
2019
Mixing precursors of lead(ii) polymers with those of lead bromide-based nanoparticles (CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskites or PbBr2), at room temperature and in the presence of cyclohexanemethylammonium bromide, generated colloidal nanocomposites which, when deposited on a hydrophobic surface led to long, one-dimensional, ordered and well-defined architectures. ispartof: CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS vol:55 issue:20 pages:2968-2971 ispartof: location:England status: published
Structure and the metal-support interaction of the Au/Mn oxide catalysts
2010
Gold catalysts with loading 1 and 10 wt % were-prepared by deposition precipitation method with urea over mesoporous manganese oxide, obtained through a surfactant-assisted procedure by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), followed by treatment with sulphuric acid. For comparison, Au(10 wt %) was also deposited over commercial CeO2 and SiO2 supports. The materials were characterized by XRD and EXAFS at the Mn K and Au L-III edges and XPS. Moreover, the analyses were performed on the samples treated under 1%CO/He, at 250 degrees C for 90 min. The structural and surface results of the as prepared manganese oxide confirmed the formation of gamma-MnO2 along with some amorphous Mn3O4 upo…
