Bronchodilators are central in the treatment of of airways disorders. They are the mainstay of
the current management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and are critical in …

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) modulates several biological processes by activating the
natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A). Atria and ventricles secrete BNP. BNP increases …

Inhalation aerosols continue to be the basis for successful lung therapy for several diseases,
with therapeutic strategies and the range of technology significantly evolving in recent years …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) plays an important role in
several biological functions, including bronchial relaxation. Here, we have investigated the …

Objectives: This study hypothesized that peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) would increase
with acute heart failure (AHF) treatment over the first 24 h, related to a Dyspnea Index (DI) …

Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a serious global
health issue that is commonly associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). The close …

Asthma is a prevalent respiratory disorder triggered by a variety of inhaled environmental
factors, such as allergens, viruses, and pollutants. Asthma is characterized by an elevated …

The pharmacological and airways relaxant profiles of PL-3994 (Hept-cyclo (Cys-His-Phe-d-
Ala-Gly-Arg-d-Nle-Asp-Arg-Ile-Ser-Cys)-Tyr-[Arg mimetic]-NH2), a novel natriuretic peptide …

Our understanding of the natriuretic peptide system continues to evolve rapidly. B‐type
natriuretic peptide (BNP), originally thought to be a simple volume‐regulating hormone that …

Greater insight into the mechanisms responsible for asthma and the introduction of new
drugs will depend in part upon the development of reliable and simple methods for detecting …
