[Corticotherapy of bronchial asthma, using dosed aerosols].

Corticoid therapy with dosed aerosols is one of the achievements that have been made lately in the treatment of bronchial asthma. In view of establishing the efficiency of this type of treatment two preparations have been used: Auxiloson (isonicotinate of dexamethasone), and Becotide (dipropionate of belcomethasone), in two groups of patients. The favourable results obtained involved over 80% of the patients treated with each of these drugs. The use of corticoid therapy with dosed aerosols in the treatment of bronchial asthma reduces many of the risks of the general therapy with corticoids, and is indicated in the maintenance therapy of patients, between asthma attacks, in the intervals when the risk of such attacks is increased, and especially in the long term treatment of corticoid-dependent bronchial asthma.

Predictors of outcome in depression.

Several socio-demographic, family and clinical history variables, stressful life events, index episode characteristics, symptom severity, clinically and psychometrically assessed personality type and traits, and treatment were evaluated as potential predictors of multiple outcome criteria in a sample of 157 outpatients and inpatients meeting commonly used criteria for depression episodes. Outcome criteria included: severity scores on the final evaluation, improvement rate, impairment level of functioning, clinically rated treatment response, episode duration and relapse frequency in one year follow-up. Gender, personality structure and type, stressful life event characteristics, prior episode number, clinical status after the last episode, symptom length at intake, initial symptom severity, psychotic and endogenous features emerged as significant predictors of depression outcome in univariate analyses. The combination of independent variables by multivariate regression analyses improved outcome prediction.
