Assessment of medication self-administration using artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a contactless and unobtrusive artificial intelligence framework that can detect and monitor medication self-administration errors by analyzing the wireless signals in the patient's home, without the need for physical contact.

Physiological predictors of peak inspiRatory flow using Observed lung function results (POROS) : evaluation at discharge among patients hospitalized for a COPD exacerbation

TL;DR: Although PIF measurement is feasible in patients at discharge and could be a valuable addition to the standard of care in COPD management, it needs to be measured directly and the use of surrogate measurements for PIF through device resistance is not supported.

Misuse of corticosteroid metered-dose inhaler is associated with decreased asthma stability

TL;DR: Misuse of pressurized metered-dose inhalers, which is mainly due to poor coordination, is frequent and associated with poorer asthma control in inhaled corticosteroid-treated asthmatics, highlighting the importance of evaluating inhalation technique and providing appropriate education in all patients.

Regional lung deposition and bronchodilator response as a function of beta2-agonist particle size.

TL;DR: Regional targeting of inhaled beta2-agonist to the proximal airways is more important than distal alveolar deposition for bronchodilation and can appreciably enhance inhaled drug therapy and may have implications for developing future inhaled treatments.

Inhaled corticosteroids for asthma therapy: patient compliance, devices, and inhalation technique.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multiple factors may come between a prescription of an inhaled corticosteroid and the arrival of that medicine at its target organ, the lung.

Assessment of handling of inhaler devices in real life: an observational study in 3811 patients in primary care.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there are differences in the handling of inhaler devices in real life in primary care that are not taken into account in controlled studies.
