Inhaled Drug Delivery: A Practical Guide to Prescribing Inhaler Devices by Pierre Ernst

“…Available pMDIs are to be gradually phased out due to their use of atmospheric ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as propellants. Newer pMDI devices using non-CFC propellants are available; preliminary experience suggests these devices greatly increase systemic bioavailability of inhaled corticosteroids. …”

Non‐Reciprocity, Metastability, and Dynamic Reconfiguration in Co‐Assembly of Active and Passive Particles by Ahmed Al Harraq, Ruchi Patel, Jin Gyun Lee, Ope Owoyele, Jaehun Chun, Bhuvnesh Bharti

“…The interaction force measurements allow to determine the degree of reciprocity in interactions, which is tunable by designing the active particle and its trajectory. While linearly‐propelled active particles evade assembly with passive particles, helically propelled active particles form active‐passive clusters with dynamic reconfiguration and long‐lived metastability. …”
