This document provides an overview of adrenal suppression as a complication of inhaled corticosteroid therapy. It defines adrenal suppression as the inability to produce adequate cortisol due to exogenous glucocorticoid exposure. Left unrecognized, adrenal suppression can lead to adrenal crisis and potentially death. The document recommends screening high-risk patients, such as children on high inhaled corticosteroid doses, with morning cortisol tests and low-dose ACTH stimulation tests if indicated. It emphasizes increasing awareness of adrenal suppression and managing affected patients in consultation with pediatric endocrinologists.
Effects of Heat and Humidification on Aerosol Delivery during Auto-CPAP nonin...Ahmed Elberry
This study evaluated the effects of heat and humidification on aerosol drug delivery during automatic continuous positive airway pressure (Auto-CPAP) non-invasive ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The researchers found no significant difference in the amount of salbutamol absorbed by patients whether the humidifier was switched on or off. However, they did find significant differences between different inhalation devices, with the metered dose inhaler and spacer providing the highest lung deposition and the jet nebulizer providing the lowest. The researchers concluded that delivering aerosol medications to Auto-CPAP patients using humidity is acceptable and will not lower drug delivery as previously suggested by in-vitro studies.

Depth of anesthesia should be assessed by checking reflex responses to pain stimuli in different areas as well as the eyelid and corneal reflex.
This document discusses a study on the use of intravenous magnesium sulfate for treating acute severe asthma. The authors disagree with a conclusion from the study that IV magnesium should be added to conventional treatment. They argue that the standard therapy used in the study, nebulized beta-agonists and corticosteroids, was limited since combining an anticholinergic like ipratropium bromide is now the recommended treatment. The authors conducted their own study combining high doses of salbutamol and ipratropium bromide, which showed greater lung function improvements compared to the magnesium study. In conclusion, while magnesium may help those with very severe asthma, future studies should combine it with the evidence-based treatment of beta-
Association of Hypertension and Pulmonary Functions-Association between cardiac dysfunction and abnormal pulmonary function has remained controversial since long. The objective of this study is to find out the association of hypertension and its severity on pulmonary functions. Study was conducted on 30 hypertensive (study group) and 30 non hypertensive (control group) subjects identified from Medical OPD of SMS Hospital, Jaipur. Pulmonary functions were assessed of both hypertensive (study group) and non hypertensive (control group) subjects by Medspiror). Among pulmonary function tests, difference in means of FVC, FEV1 PEFR, FEF25-75%, MVV and FVC/ FEV1 were found less with significant difference in cases group with predominantly restrictive type of effects are observed. Female’s shows lower values than male hypertensive subjects. Furthermore, FVC, FEV1, PEFR, FEF25-75%, MVV, FVC/ FEV1 were not found to be associated with severity of illness. An inverse relation is found between hypertension and pulmonary functions predominantly restrictive type of pattern. While non significant effects are observed with severity of illness.

Advances in understanding drug mechanisms of action and detecting resistance mutations have also occurred.
This document summarizes a case study of a 58-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with a productive cough and right-sided chest pain after returning from Afghanistan. Imaging showed a consolidation in his right lower lung lobe and he was found to be infected with Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. He received intravenous antibiotics and continues oral treatment, with follow up imaging to monitor his response. N. cyriacigeorgica is an emerging human pathogen typically causing pulmonary infection in immunocompetent individuals.
1. The document discusses temperature management after cardiac arrest. It recommends mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) to 32-34°C for 12-24 hours to protect the brain from global ischemia after cardiac arrest and resuscitation based on evidence from randomized control trials.
2. However, a recent randomized trial found no difference in outcomes between cooling patients to 33°C versus 36°C. The key is to avoid hyperthermia in patients after cardiac arrest rather than aiming for a specific target temperature.
3. MTH is not superior to target temperature management of 36°C and is associated with side effects like coagulopathy, so the current recommendation is to avoid hyperthermia rather than aiming for

Gene expression signatures in tuberculosis have greater overlap with autoimmune diseases than infectious diseases. The analysis identified 2,468 differentially expressed genes in tuberculosis, 8,134 in infection, and 11,348 in autoimmune disorders. There was more overlap between the tuberculosis and autoimmune signatures, with 810 shared genes, compared to only 96 shared with infection. Additionally, pathways analysis showed the predominant involvement of type I interferon signaling, which is important in autoimmunity. This supports the hypothesis that an autoimmune process contributes to pathology in pulmonary tuberculosis.

This study compared the efficacy and safety of an antiasthma herbal medicine intervention (ASHMI) to prednisone for treating moderate-severe allergic asthma. In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, 91 adult asthma patients received either ASHMI capsules with prednisone placebo or prednisone tablets with ASHMI placebo for 4 weeks. Both treatments significantly improved lung function and reduced symptoms and IgE levels. However, prednisone further reduced TH2 cytokines and cortisol levels while ASHMI increased TH1 cytokines and cortisol levels. No severe side effects occurred with either treatment. The study suggests ASHMI is a safe and effective alternative asthma treatment to prednisone without adverse effects on adrenal

This document discusses ancient medical practices like bloodletting and trepanation that were intended to remove toxins from the body, similar to the historical practices of inducing vomiting with ipecac syrup or gastric lavage to treat poisonings. While these practices were once standard treatment, literature from the 1980s questioned their efficacy. Major organizations published position statements in 1997 and have since reaffirmed that these practices do not effectively remove ingested substances and should no longer be used or considered standard of care. Their use has declined dramatically in recent decades according to reports. Absolute evidence of lack of efficacy through randomized clinical trials is difficult to obtain due to uncertainties in determining if an ingested dose was actually toxic.
