TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the prevalence of inhaler mishandling in a large population of experienced patients referring to chest clinics; to analyze the variables associated with misuse and the relationship between inhaler handling and health-care resources use and disease control.About:

Comparing the efficacy and safety of formoterol/budesonide pMDI versus its mono-components and other LABA/ICS in patients with asthma.
TL;DR: The FB pMDI is efficacious for the long-term management of asthma in patients 6 years of age and above and shows rapid onset of bronchodilatory effect with a dose-response relationship that allows patients to utilise it as a Single Maintenance And Reliever Therapy (SMART) regimen.

A New Quantitative Method for Evaluating Dry Powder Inhalation Efficiency in Asthma Patients
TL;DR: A simple new method that can be applied to dry powder inhalation techniques to evaluate their efficiency in clinical practice and research is introduced.
Book ChapterDOI
Inhalation and Nasal Formulations
TL;DR: This chapter first examines the aging respiratory tract, including the likelihood of diseases affecting patency of the airway through the nose and airways of the lungs and prospects for development of inhaled medication-based therapy in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
So That's How You Use It: How Effective Is Education on Inhaler Use?
TL;DR: Medication via inhalation route allows for direct delivery to the lungs and airways, with often faster responses, and decreased systemic doses/effects compared with oral or inhaled medications.

Evaluation of Clinical Methods for Rating Dyspnea
TL;DR: The results show that the BDI, MRC scale, and OCD provide significantly related measures of Dyspnea, and the clinical ratings of dyspnea correlate significantly with physiologic parameters of lung function; and breathlessness may be related to the pathophysiology of the specific respiratory disease.

Misuse of corticosteroid metered-dose inhaler is associated with decreased asthma stability
Violaine Giraud,Nicolas Roche +1 more
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.
