Peak expiratory flow rate in south Indian children
TL;DR: This work measured Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) in 345 healthy South Indian children aged 4-15 years, using the Wright mini peak flow meter, and a nomogram was constructed relating PEFR to height.

Dose adjustment of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors during concurrent rifampicin-containing tuberculosis therapy: one size does not fit all.
TL;DR: Current data suggest that the standard dose of efavirenz or nevirapine is adequate in most HIV/TB co-infected adults, however, more research is needed in pediatric populations as well as to define role of drug–gene interactions.
