The present invention relates to the use of Colistin for reducing the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations in patients suffering from Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCFB), wherein said patients are infected with P. aeruginosa.

The present invention relates to the pulmonary delivery of antibodies or antibody derivatives.

The present invention discloses uses of hexadecanal in managing stress.

Methods and apparatuses (e.g., systems, devices, etc.) for delivering a nebulized drug agent in the nasal passages concurrent with the lungs.

The present invention relates to phosphate derivatives of formula (I), and their therapeutic uses, preferably for treating a respiratory disease. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions and devices comprising such compounds.

The invention provides novel compounds, compositions and formulations of liposomes, microbubbles and/or nanodroplets, and emulsions thereof, that are useful in delivery of various nucleic acids and genes (e.g., single stranded RNA, DNA, si-RNA and CRISPR constructs), as well as methods of preparation and use thereof including methods of imaging and gene delivery using ultrasound activation.

A method of protecting a respiratory tract or a lung from damage is provided. The method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof. The pharmaceutical composition comprises trehalose or a trehalose derivative.

Provided are lipid antiinfective formulations substantially free of anionic lipids with a lipid to antiinfective ratio is about 1:1 to about 4:1, and a mean average diameter of less than about 1 .Math.m. Also provided is a method of preparing a lipid antiinfective formulation comprising an infusion process. Also provided are lipid antiinfective formulations wherein the lipid to drug ratio is about 1:1 or less, about 0.75: 1 or less, or about 0.50: 1 or less prepared by an in line fusion process. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a patient with a pulmonary infection comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a lipid antiinfective formulation of the present invention. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a patient for cystic fibrosis comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a lipid antiinfective formulation of the present invention.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a nanoparticle composition suitable for delivering a therapeutic agent to a subject by nebulization. The nanoparticle comprises an ionizable lipid, cholesterol or a derivative thereof, a structural lipid, and a PEG lipid. The nanoparticle may partially or completely encapsulate a therapeutic agent, and may be nebulized for administration, such as by inhalation. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is mRNA.

Methods for treating and/or alleviating acute respiratory distress syndrome in a patient diagnosed with or at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome are disclosed. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an aerosolized collagenase to the patient, wherein the collagenase breaks down scar tissue in the lung, thereby treating the ARDS, or delaying or preventing onset of ARDS.
