In double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, budesonide–formoterol used on an as-needed basis resulted in a lower risk of severe exacerbation asthma than use short-acting β2-agonist (SABA); the was similar to that budesonide maintenance therapy plus SABA. The availability data from clinical trials designed better reflect practice would be beneficial.
An anonymized point-prevalence survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage was conducted amongst a stratified random sample nursing home residents in Birmingham, UK, during 1994. Microbiological sampling from noses, fingers and the environment undertaken. Information about potential risk factors for acquisition MRSA gathered. isolated cultures nose or 33 191 who took part study (17%) but only 1 positive had clinical infection. Although just 10 87 environmental...
Background Asthma is the most common chronic childhood respiratory condition globally. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)–formoterol reliever-based regimens reduce risk of asthma exacerbations compared with conventional short-acting β 2 -agonist (SABA) in adults and adolescents. The current limited evidence for anti-inflammatory reliever therapy children means it unknown whether these findings are also applicable to children. High-quality randomised controlled trials (RCTs) needed. Objective study...

Background In randomised controlled trials, as-needed inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-formoterol reliever therapy reduces severe exacerbation risk compared with maintenance ICS plus short-acting beta 2 -agonist (SABA) in adolescent and adult asthma, but results slightly worse control of asthma symptoms, as measured by mean Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) score. Objective To assess the levels changes for budesonide–formoterol versus budesonide SABA post hoc analyses from Novel START...
Evidence based practice uses up to date information inform decisions on the management of an individual’s health problem.1 To most, this would seem a basic premise for medical practice, but there has been backlash against growth evidence medicine movement.2 Some insist that their always and responsible clinicians keep by reading selected journals.

While many visuals used medicine today are created by medical illustration professionals, imaging photography radiography; doctors continue draw routinely their practice. This is known be valued patients, example when making informed decisions about care. We surveyed New Zealand online regarding use drawing explore prevalence this...
<b>Background:</b> A noninvasive ventilation (NIV) mask has been designed to deliver NIV with expiratory washout (EW) improve efficacy of via clearing carbon dioxide (CO2) from anatomical deadspace. This study compared the performance and comfort this EW a standard during therapy. <b>Methods:</b> Sixteen participants severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) completed crossover study. Participants attended single visit receive, in random order, two 60-minute interventions...
