Evaluating dry powder inhalers: From in vitro studies to mobile health technologies
Arzu Ari,Bshayer R Alhamad +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a review of the literature evaluating dry powder inhalers through in vitro studies, computational fluid models, and in vivo/clinical studies is presented, where the physicochemical properties of the drug powder formulation, metering system, device design, dose preparation, inhalation technique, and patient-device integration are evaluated.

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.
