Does inflammation help during COVID-19?
tweet Persistent viral presence, rather than the early exaggerated inflammation, may be a key determinant of disease severity in COVID-19. If so, the focus of new therapies should be to promote viral clearance to decrease disease severity and mortality.
The use of β2-adrenoreceptor agonists in viral bronchiolitis: scientific rationale beyond evidence-based guidelines
There are several factors that may help clinicians determine the highest probability of response to β2-AR bronchodilators during viral bronchiolitis, based on the individual immunobiology, viral pathogen, host factors and clinical presentation
Bronchoscopically delivered microwave ablation in an in vivo porcine lung model
This paper demonstrates the technical feasibility of safely delivering microwave ablation in the lung parenchyma under virtual bronchoscopic guidance in an in vivo porcine lung model
Comparison between traditional and nontraditional add-on devices used with pressurised metered-dose inhalers
Antistatic add-on devices deliver much more aerosol from MDIs than non-antistatic add-on devices
