Relevant publications related to medicinal and toxic aerosols are discussed in this review. Treatment of COPD includes a combination of long-acting bronchodilators and long-acting muscarinic antagonists. A combination of aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate was approved in the United States. The combination was superior to its components alone, as well as tiotropium and a salmeterol-fluticasone combination. Increased risk of an asthma exacerbation was reported in children exposed to electronic nicotine delivery systems. A smart inhaler capable of recording inspiratory flow was approved in the United States. The use of as-needed budesonide-formoterol was reported to be superior to scheduled budesonide and as-needed terbutaline for the treatment of adults with mild-to-moderate asthma. A survey among teens with asthma and their caregivers revealed a disagreement in the number of inhaled controller medications the teen was taking. Treatment with inhaled hypertonic saline resulted in a decreased lung clearance index in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis. Surgical masks were well tolerated and significantly decreased the burden of aerosolized bacteria generated by coughing in adults with cystic fibrosis. Inhaled liposomal amikacin in addition to guideline-based therapy was reported to be superior to guideline-based therapy alone in achieving negative sputum cultures in adult subjects with Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease. During 2019, lung injury associated to e-cigarette or vaping was reported, including 60 casualties.

Respiratory support of the critically ill neonate has steadily shifted from invasive to noninvasive forms of support. There have recently been a number of important advances in our understanding of the changes to neonatal resuscitation practices as they pertain to clinically important outcomes, mechanisms of gas exchange for high-flow nasal cannula, and best use of noninvasive ventilation and predicting response. Although the proportion of infants requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation has decreased, the most severely ill often still require intubation and ventilation. Recently, volume-targeted ventilation, high-frequency ventilation, and different methods of assessing weaning and extubation have been investigated. This review summarizes a number of important advances that have been made in the management of prematurity and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common lifelong metabolic condition with serious associated comorbidities. Evidence points to a delay in diagnosis and inconsistency in the information provided to women with PCOS.AimTo capture women’s experiences of how PCOS is diagnosed and managed in UK general practice.Design and settingThis was a mixed-methods study with an online questionnaire survey and semi-structured telephone interviews with a subset of responders.MethodAn online survey to elicit women’s experiences of general practice PCOS care was promoted by charities and BBC Radio Leicester. The survey was accessible online between January 2018 and November 2018. A subset of responders undertook a semi-structured telephone interview to provide more in-depth data.ResultsA total of 323 women completed the survey (average age 35.4 years) and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 women. There were five key themes identified through the survey responses. Participants described a variable lag time from presentation to PCOS diagnosis, with a median of 6–12 months. Many had experienced mental health problems associated with their PCOS symptoms, but had not discussed these with the GP. Many were unable to recall any discussion about associated comorbidities with the GP. Some differences were identified between the experiences of women from white British backgrounds and those from other ethnic backgrounds.ConclusionFrom the experiences of the women in this study, it appears that PCOS in general practice is not viewed as a long-term condition with an increased risk of comorbidities including mental health problems. Further research should explore GPs’ awareness of comorbidities and the differences in PCOS care experienced by women from different ethnic backgrounds.

Background:

Previous studies examining potential sex and gender bias in the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) match have had conflicting results. We examined the results of the CaRMS match over the period 2013–2019 to determine the potential association between applicants’ gender and the outcome of matching to their first-choice discipline.

Currently, the expansion of the novel human respiratory coronavirus (known as SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2], COVID-2019 [coronavirus disease 2019], or 2019-nCoV [2019 novel coronavirus]) has stressed the need for therapeutic alternatives to alleviate and stop this new epidemic. The previous epidemics of infections by high-morbidity human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV in 2003 and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012, prompted the characterization of compounds that could be potentially active against the currently emerging novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. The most promising compound is remdesivir (GS-5734), a nucleotide analog prodrug currently in clinical trials for treating Ebola virus infections. Remdesivir inhibited the replication of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in tissue cultures, and it displayed efficacy in nonhuman animal models. In addition, a combination of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon beta (LPV/RTV–IFN-β) was shown to be effective in patients infected with SARS-CoV. LPV/RTV–IFN-β also improved clinical parameters in marmosets and mice infected with MERS-CoV. Remarkably, the therapeutic efficacy of remdesivir appeared to be superior to that of LPV/RTV–IFN-β against MERS-CoV in a transgenic humanized mouse model. The relatively high mortality rates associated with these three novel human coronavirus infections, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, have suggested that proinflammatory responses might play a role in the pathogenesis. It remains unknown whether the generated inflammatory state should be targeted. Therapeutics that target the coronavirus alone might not be able to reverse highly pathogenic infections. This minireview aims to provide a summary of therapeutic compounds that have shown potential in fighting SARS-CoV-2 infections.
