24 Oct 2025 by

In the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate hypercapnic exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the EzPAP positive airway pressure device works better than noninvasive ventilation at improving oxygen saturation levels and correcting respiratory acidosis, as shown in a study.

Ensitrelvir a viable alternative to available antivirals for COVID-19

21 Oct 2025 by

The investigational oral antiviral ensitrelvir shows potent antiviral activity in COVID-19, although its effect is slightly weaker than that of ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir, according to the ongoing, phase II, randomized controlled, adaptive pharmacometric platform PLATCOV trial.

One in 10 hospitalized RSV patients has a concurrent acute CV event

21 Oct 2025 by

In a large cross-sectional study evaluating individuals hospitalized for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and COVID-19, one in 10 patients hospitalized for RSV had a concurrent acute cardiovascular (CV) event, and the odds of cardiac events were substantially higher in RSV vs COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Budesonide–formoterol reliever combo superior to salbutamol alone for mild asthma in kids

20 Oct 2025

The combination of inhaled corticosteroid budesonide plus formoterol appears to work better than the short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) salbutamol alone as reliever monotherapy for mild asthma in children, being associated with lower incidence of asthma attacks in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
