Pulmonary hypertension, part 3: Early therapies and vascular physiology
In this episode, we dive into the early therapies and how our understanding of vascular physiology drastically changed the management of pulmonary hypertension.
Q&A: Novel drug may replace ‘watchful waiting’ approach to aortic stenosis care
A novel therapeutic showed significant promise in slowing aortic valve calcification, potentially extending time until or eliminating need for transcatheter or surgical intervention for stenosis, researchers reported.
Mild to moderate asthma may include high FeNO, eosinophil counts
Patients with mild to moderate asthma and self-reported asthma control may have elevated levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and eosinophils, according to a poster presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.
Inhaled nitric oxide lowers mortality risk in Black patients with COVID-19
Black ICU patients with COVID-19 receiving high-dose inhaled nitric oxide had a decreased risk for 28-day and 90-day mortality, according to results published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
High-dose inhaled nitric oxide improves oxygenation in COVID-19 pneumonia
Adults on mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 pneumonia showed improvements in oxygenation with high-dose inhaled nitric oxide, according to results published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
FDA issues two class I recalls involving ventilators
The FDA has issued class I recalls, the most serious kind, for two different ventilators.
FeNO indicates airway inflammation with longitudinal fidelity in severe asthma
WASHINGTON — Fractional exhaled nitric oxide represents a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation with good longitudinal fidelity among patients with severe asthma, according to data presented here.
Baseline FeNO levels predict response to dupilumab among patients with asthma
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels predicted treatment response to dupilumab among patients who had uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
High-dose inhaled nitric oxide shortens hospital stay in infants with bronchiolitis
Infants with bronchiolitis who received 150 ppm inhaled nitric oxide plus standard supportive treatment had shorter hospital stays and improved respiratory outcomes, according to results published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
Small airway function, fractional exhaled oxide differ in men, women with mild asthma
Women with mild asthma have worse small airway function, lower fractional exhaled nitric oxide and more prominent declines in these parameters with age than men, according to a study published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
