Small airway disease (SAD) is associated with respiratory symptoms and relevant for therapy in early COPD

2020

Background: SAD is common in patients with COPD. Occurring early in the course of the disease, it is frequently missed by currently used diagnostic tests. Multiple breath washout (MBW) testing detects ventilation heterogeneity (VH) while oscillometry (OS) assesses peripheral obstruction, both associated with SAD. We therefore set out to evaluate the presence and symptoms of SAD in patients with early COPD. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 26 patients (FEV1 77±19% pred., 88% GOLD I/II). In an 8-week cross-over design, the effect of dual bronchodilatation (tiotropium/olodaterol, T/O) on lung function and symptoms (CAT) was compared to monotherapy (formoterol). Lung function was assessed by…

A model-based approach for assessing bronchodilator responsiveness in children: The conventional cutoff revisited

2020

An increase in FEV1 >=12% has been proposed in international guidelines as a clue to airway reversibility for diagnosing asthma in both adults and children. However, the validity of this cut-off has been questioned in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to provide evidence that different cut-off values in BDR may be associated with better performance in discriminating among outpatient children with naïve asthma (A) and without asthma (NA). We compared three approaches: i) the conventional cutoff (12%); ii) the cut-off estimated by Youden's criteria; and iii) the cut-off based on a model-driven approach. we found that the conventional cut-off of 12% showed poor sensitivity in…

Dry adsorbed emulsion: 2. Dissolution behaviour of an intricate formulation

2002

The behaviour of a pharmaceutical form, called dry adsorbed emulsion (DAE), containing a sparingly soluble drug (i.e. theophylline) was studied for dissolution drug release kinetic, in relation with DAE structure characterisation. In vitro dissolution testings were performed under different experimental conditions (medium at pH 1.2 and 7.4, medium with or without surfactant addition, different particle sizes, discrete or densified particles). Discrete DAE particles showed an extended release, in comparison with the native drug powder, depending on both drug solubility in the medium and particle size. The relevance of dissolution data was not improved by surfactant addition (0.1% sodium laur…

Propozycja regionalizacji fizycznogeograficznej Sudetów Wschodnich

2018

Artykuł przedstawia propozycję wyznaczenia granic Sudetów Wschodnich oraz podziału fizycznogeograficznego makroregionu na mezoregiony. Przy wyznaczaniu granic uwzględniono w większym stopniu genetyczno-geologiczny podział Sudetów związany z orogenezą waryscyjską. W podziale na mezoregiony w większym stopniu uwzględniono kryteria litostratygraficzne.

Adwent w liturgiach Kościołów syryjskich ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem tradycji zachodnio-syryjskiej

2022

We wszystkich tradycjach liturgicznych świata chrześcijańskiego Boże Narodzenie poprzedzone jest okresem przygotowania. Z teologicznego punktu widzenia ten okres, Adwent, posiada podwójny wymiar: eschatologiczny oraz nawiązujący do tajemnicy Wcielenia Jezusa Chrystusa. W tradycjach Kościołów syryjskich kolejne niedziele przygotowania do Bożego Narodzenia koncentrują się na przekazanych w Ewangeliach tzw. „zwiastowaniach” (syr.: subārā). Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę zarysu idei teologicznych obecnych w euchologii adwentowej Kościołów syryjskich.

Roads, travelling and communication in the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century. Russian and West European visitors’ perspective

2020

W artykule przedstawiony został stan techniczny dróg lądowych i rzecznych, mostów, grobli oraz pozostałej infrastruktury komunikacyjnej w Polsce na podstawie relacji podróżników z zagranicy, w tym Rosjan. Stan oraz jakość lądowych i rzecznych środków transportu był oceniany przez cudzoziemców bardzo nisko, podobnie jak jakość usług oferowanych w przydrożnych karczmach w Polsce i na Litwie. W rezultacie podróżowanie w XVIII w. po Rzeczypospolitej mogło stanowić interesujące doświadczenie. Tak goście z Rosji, jak i z krajów zachodniej Europy natrafiali na wiele przeszkód w trakcie podróży, postrzegając przy tym kraj jako pełen paradoksów. Fatalny stan dróg, przerażające swoim standardem karcz…

Profile of glycopyrronium for once-daily treatment of moderate-to-severe COPD

2012

Bronchodilators are central in the symptomatic management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) and long-acting β(2)-agonists (LABAs) are the main classes of long-acting bronchodilators. To date, tiotropium is the only once-daily LAMA available for the treatment of COPD. Glycopyrronium is a novel LAMA, currently in development for COPD. Phase II studies have shown that glycopyrronium 50 μg once daily provides clinically significant 24-hour bronchodilation with a rapid onset of action, which is faster than that of tiotropium, and a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The Phase III GLycopyrronium bromide in COPD airWays (GLOW) progr…
