Abstract: Methods for reducing the risk of a thromboembolic event, and a related drug delivery system are provided. In some embodiments, a dose of acetylsalicylic acid can be provided in powder form to a patient using a dry powder inhaler. The dose can be effective to reduce a risk of a thromboembolic event in a patient. A dry powder inhaler used for the method can have a mouthpiece, a reservoir for receiving the dose of acetylsalicylic acid, and an actuation member for making available the dose of acetylsalicylic acid for inhalation by a patient through the mouthpiece.

The respirable dry powder may contain a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, such as a phospholipid, in an amount ranging from about 0.1% (w/w) to about 10% (w/w) of the particles.

Abstract: A stable dry powder composition for inhalation includes acetylsalicylic acid in particles having a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) in a range of about 1 ?m to about 5 ?m. The dry powder composition may contain a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, such as a stearate, in an amount ranging from about 0.04% (w/w) to about 0.06% (w/w), or from about 0.4% (w/w) to about 0.6% (w/w), of the composition.

Abstract: A respirable dry powder can include acetylsalicylic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The dry powder can include a mixture of: (i) dry particles have a volume median geometric diameter (VMGD) less than 5 ?m; and (ii) dry particles have a volume median geometric diameter (VMGD) of about 15 ?m or more.

Abstract: Delivery of a dry powder via inhalation can be performed using an inhalation device having an inhalation tube and a hollow extension housing an assembly of components including a plurality of impellers, a puncturing device, and a dry powder container. The delivery of dry powder through the inhalation device is facilitated by the puncturing device puncturing the dry powder container, the impellers directing air flow, and the configuration of the extension and inhalation tube.

Abstract: Arranging transport among parties by mobile devices can involve receiving a user request for transportation via an application programming interface installed in a user mobile device and providing user data to a transport provider, the user data including healthcare insurance credentials for the user. Arranging transport may also include verifying the healthcare insurance credentials with an insurance provider, determining a user location based on a global positioning system (GPS) circuit in the user mobile device, and selecting a responder from a plurality of responders, the responder having a handicap accessible vehicle for non-emergency transportation. Arranging transport can also include tracking the responder via a GPS circuit in a responder mobile device, requesting a user rating when the responder has transported the user to a desired location, and ranking the user and the responder based at least on the user rating.

Abstract: A device for delivery of a substance to an external auditory canal and/or nasal cavity can include a reservoir, an aerosolizing mechanism, a nozzle, and a retaining member. The reservoir can contain the substance. The aerosolizing mechanism can suspend a dose of the substance, as particulates for example, in a gas. The nozzle can include a lumen, an outer surface, and a distal end. The lumen can be sized to permit movement of the gas and particulates therethrough. The retaining member can be configured to be attached to the nozzle proximate the distal end of the nozzle, projecting laterally from the lumen of the nozzle, shaped to engage the ear and/or nostril, and can include a passage therethrough to allow passage of gas and to inhibit passage of at least some of the particulates.

Abstract: A nasal delivery system for and a method of delivering aerosolized medication to the nasal passageway of a patient for treating an ailment in the upper respiratory tract above the trachea, comprising: contacting a nosepiece to a patient's nose, the nosepiece being coupled to a directly to the mesh of the vibrating mist nebulizer via a connecting portion, activating the nebulizer to create aerosolized medication from liquid medication in the chamber, directing the aerosolized medication through the connecting portion to the nosepiece; and dispensing, from apertures in the nosepiece, the aerosolized medication directly through the patient's nose.
