INHALANT USE DISORDER
What is inhalant use disorder? It is a problem that can develop when people deliberately breathe in the fumes of various substances, in order to experience intoxication. Basically, the disorder develops in people who frequently use inhalants as a recreational drug.
Overview from Wikipedia: Inhalant Use Disorder
Age Onset: Children and young teenagers.
Symptoms: Since the inhalants (even household chemicals) are heavier than oxygen when breathing, there is frequently brain damage or death through suffocation.
Causes: Specifically for inhaling glue, 38 U. S. states prohibit glue sales when inhaling is anticipated.

- The Determinants of Eosinophilia in Patients With Severe Asthmaby Racha Abi Melhem on May 8, 2024
CONCLUSION: We showed herein that the eosinophilic subtype of asthma differs widely from the non-eosinophilic phenotype. Clinically, patients with eosinophilia might exhibit different symptomatology, more atopy, and concomitant comorbidities. However, this group might have better response to steroid therapy and might benefit from the new emergent T2 immune targeted therapy. The identification of EA is crucial for better disease control.
- Inhalation exposure-induced toxicity and disease mediated via mTOR dysregulationby Akshada Shinde on May 7, 2024
Environmental air pollution is a global health concern, associated with multiple respiratory and systemic diseases. Epidemiological supports continued urbanization and industrialization increasing the prevalence of inhalation exposures. Exposure to these inhaled pollutants induces toxicity via activation of numerous cellular mechanisms including oxidative stress, autophagy, disrupted cellular metabolism, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and others contributing to disease development. The mechanistic...
- Effects of a lower versus a higher oxygenation target in intensive care unit patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: a subgroup analysis of a randomised clinical trialby Maria B Nielsen on May 7, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: In ICU patients with COPD and acute hypoxaemia, a lower vs a higher oxygenation target did not reduce mortality. There were no between-group differences in Paco(2) or in secondary outcomes.
- Modern trends in the formulation of microparticles for lung delivery using porogens: methods, principles and examplesby Andrea Peštálová on May 7, 2024
Inhalation drug administration is increasingly used for local pharmacotherapy of lung disorders and as an alternative route for systemic drug delivery. Modern inhalation powder systems aim to target drug deposition in the required site of action. Large porous particles (LPP), characterized by an aerodynamic diameter over 5 μm, density below 0.4 g/cm³, and the ability to avoid protective lung mechanisms, come to the forefront of the research. They are mostly prepared by spray techniques such as...
