Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment, Glycemia, and Diabetes Risk in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Comorbid Cardiovascular Disease Open
OBJECTIVE Despite evidence of a relationship among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), metabolic dysregulation, and diabetes, it is uncertain whether OSA treatment can improve metabolic parameters. We sought to determine effects of long-term co…

The effect of mode of inhaled salbutamol delivery on measures of small airways obstruction in asthma: a comparison of treatment delivered via spacer and nebuliser Open
Background
Conventional clinical respiratory tests tell us little about the small airways of the lung (less than 2 mm in internal diameter). Patients with asthma affecting the small airways may respond differently to inhaled bronchodilator…

Effect of Inhaled β2-Agonist on Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Open
The fractional exhaled nitric oxide measured at an expiratory flow of 50mL/s (FENO50) is a marker of airway inflammation, and high levels are associated with greater response to steroid treatment. In asthma, FENO50 increases with bronchodi…
