TL;DR: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to determine whether combining tiotropium with salmeterol or fluticasonesalmeterol produces greater improvements in clinical outcomes for adults with moderate or severe COPD compared with tiotopium therapy alone.

TL;DR: In this article, the combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β-agonists and anticholinergic bronchodilators for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was investigated.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that the interferon-gamma pathways may be deficient in elderly women with MAC lung disease, and that the prolonged treatment period, side effects, and possibly reinfection rather than relapse are responsible for the high failure rate.

TL;DR: A questionnaire demonstrated a greater prevalence of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, RARS, and reflux-associated inhaler use in asthmatics, which may explain how GER indirectly causes asthma to worsen.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to review the common presentations of NTM lung disease, the conditions associated with NTM Lung disease, and the clinical features and treatment of the NTM that most commonly cause lung disease.
