Combined bronchodilators (tiotropium plus olodaterol) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by Ramadan, Wijdan H.

“…Long-acting inhaled bronchodilators, such as long-acting β2 agonists (LABAs) or long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs), are the cornerstone of maintenance therapy for patients with moderate-to-very-severe COPD. For patients not sufficiently controlled on a single long-acting bronchodilator, a combination of different bronchodilators has shown a significant increase in lung function. …”

Which factor explains the life‐history of <i>Xanthium strumarium</i> L., an aggressive alien invasive plant species, along its altitudinal gradient? by Rafi Ullah (8146836)

“…The X. strumarium exhibits late vegetative and reproductive phenology at higher altitudes, enabling them to occupy an empty niche and benefit from decreased competition for resource acquisition. The lower altitude plants show a higher growth rate (stem size increase, number of leaves, and leaf area) due to the higher nutrient availability. …”

Exercise training-induced speeding of VO₂kinetics is not intensity domain-specific or correlated with indices of exercise performance by Erin Calaine Inglis (7042334)

“…There were no PRE to POST differences for CON (p < 0.05) in any variables. Despite significant increases in maximal VO₂ (VO_2max ), estimated lactate threshold (θLT), maximal metabolic steady state (MMSS), and peak power output (PPO) for the intervention groups (p < 0.05), there were no significant correlations from PRE to MID or MID to POST between ΔτVO₂ and Δ V O_2max (r=– 0.221, r = 0.119), ΔPPO (r= – 0.112, r= – 0.017), ΔθLT (r= 0.083, r = 0.142) and ΔMMSS (r= – 0.213, r = 0.049)(p > 0.05).…”
