Partridge MR, 1997, The transition in practice: health professionals and patients., Br J Clin Pract Suppl, Vol: 89, Pages: 32-36, ISSN: 0262-8767
The transition to CFC-free pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) raises issues for health professionals and patients. Health professionals need to be aware of any differences between old and reformulated products. The currently available reformulated salbutamol is equivalent to the old product so no dosage adjustment is implicated in the changeover. Available information on the new reformulated steroids suggests significantly smaller doses may be required for some reformulations as a result of improved drug deposition. This should not pose a problem if health professionals follow current asthma guidelines and titrate treatment against effect. Patients must be well prepared for transition, be aware of key facts about the new formulation and be aware of the reason their physician recommends change. The likelihood of a seamless transition to the new inhalers will be enhanced if health professionals coordinate the transition in a planned way in each district.

The new understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma has led to an increasing perception of the disease as a chronic condition, rather than one consisting of acute exacerbations. Health professionals need to help patients to accept this new understanding, and this involves a consideration of how best to deliver care and how best to enhance compliance. Good communication is essential, and structured patient education has now been shown to be cost effective. All health professionals need to think how education may best be incorporated into their care. Such care will involve the development of a partnership between health professional and the patient and their loved ones, and the acquisition by patients of skills in self-management. Several unknowns remain regarding who benefits more from group education as opposed to individual education, and some details of guided self-management. However, in the face of clear evidence of the benefits of patient education, these areas for further study should not delay the adoption of a strong commitment to education by all of those who care for those with asthma.

Guidelines on asthma management may be useful in defining optimal standards of care and as a basis for audit. They also have a role in the education of health professionals and offer a common approach for use by all who care for those with asthma. They should define the goals and outcomes expected from treatment and preferably outline several ways in which they may be achieved. It should be made clear when the recommendations are based upon the results of clinical trials and where they merely reflect current clinical practice. Areas for future research should be clearly outlined. The production of guidelines is only likely to influence patient care, if the guidelines are adapted and made relevant to individual districts or health establishments. There needs to be a realisation that they contain much more than advice about drug treatments. A more patient centred approach to management and attention to patient education is necessary if they are to be effective in reducing the morbidity associated with this common condition.

Lung cancer has increased in importance as a cause of death over the last 60 years. It is now the commonest cancer in the UK, causing over 40,000 deaths per annum or an average of 110 per day. This review considers further aspects of epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features and discusses how we may better select the few who can be cured, so that the remainder receive more appropriate palliative therapy.
Seddon DJ, Partridge MR, 1990, Carcinoma of the bronchus in young adults., Br J Clin Pract, Vol: 44, Pages: 24-25, ISSN: 0007-0947
Thirty patients with bronchial carcinoma, aged 45 or less, were identified as having attended this or other local chest clinics. In four cases the diagnosis was reached after four or more months of investigations. In two of these cases, pulmonary tuberculosis was incorrectly suspected to be responsible for the illness of the patient. Compared with the disease as it affects all age groups, there appeared to be no greater incidence of any particular presenting symptom. In the group of patients studied, there was an excess of small cell carcinoma compared with that expected.
Blainey D, Lomas D, Beale A, et al., 1990, The cost of acute asthma--how much is preventable?, Health Trends, Vol: 22, Pages: 151-153, ISSN: 0017-9132
Asthma is known to be widely under-treated, and unnecessary morbidity from the disease is common. This paper reports a prospective survey of hospital admissions for acute asthma and assesses the efficacy of pre-admission therapy in terms of preventing hospital admission. District and national costs were estimated for hospital admission of patients with acute asthma and, although the direct cost to the patients was not measured, a calculation was made of the number of working days lost annually. The results of this survey show the need for improved education of both doctors and patients, and in particular for improved clinical management. The findings also suggest that the cost to the patient, including those costs incurred by hospital admission, are potentially preventable.
