Abstract Colchicine has shown clinical benefits in the management of COVID‐19 via its anti‐inflammatory effect. However, exact role colchicine patients is unknown. The current trial was performed on 202 with moderate to severe COVID‐19. Patients were randomly assigned a 1:1 ratio receive up 3‐day course 0.5 mg followed by 12‐day 1 combination standard care or 15‐day care. Among randomized patients, 153 completed study and received colchicine/standard continued ( M age, 54.72 [ SD , 15.03]...

Asthma is an inflammatory disease, which causes airflow limitation and increase insulin resistance. The present study was carried out in order to investigate resistance the effect of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) on sensitivity asthmatic patients.

Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEs) increase intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which results in a wide range of anti-inflammatory effects and pathologically leads to improve asthma disease. Because no human study has surveyed the effect PDEs on pulmonary function, except some case reports animal researches, we decided perform pilot for evaluating sildenafil (PDE5) function patients with severe asthma.This randomized controlled trials was conducted 20 2019 Iran. For group,...
