Abstract: A dry powder inhalation device is disclosed. In one optional aspect, the device includes a housing, a base plate, a receptacle for a medicament and a mouthpiece. The base plate is engageable with the housing to form a main space with a main air inlet. The mouthpiece includes an inner conduit connected to its outlet and is engageable with the base plate to fluidly connect the inner conduit to the receptacle. The receptacle is fluidly connected to the main space, so that upon inhalation by a user, air can be drawn through the main air inlet into the main space and onward through the receptacle into the inner conduit. The mouthpiece and the base plate form an auxiliary space with an auxiliary air inlet, wherein the auxiliary space is fluidly connected to the main space.

Abstract: A powder inhaler includes a container for storing powdered medicament. A metering member has a dosing recess and is moveable between a filling position in which the dosing recess is in alignment with an opening of the container, and an inhalation position in which it is in alignment with an inhalation channel. A mouthpiece is in communication with the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of powdered medicament when in the inhalation position. A protective member provided between the metering member and the inhalation channel is moveable between a closed position in which the protective member covers the dosing recess, thereby preventing powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess from entering the inhalation channel, and an open position in which the protective member does not cover the dosing recess, thereby exposing the dosing recess to the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament.

Abstract: An inhaler (1) is disclosed. It comprises a housing (2) to receive a strip (6) of blisters (6a) each having a puncturable lid (6c) and containing a dose of medicament for inhalation by a user, a mouthpiece through which a dose of medicament is inhaled by a user and, an actuator (3) operable to sequentially move each blister into alignment with a blister piercing member (7, 9). The actuator is also operable to cause the blister piercing element to puncture the lid of a blister such that, when a user inhales through the mouthpiece, an airflow through the blister is generated to entrain the dose contained therein and carry it but of the blister and via the mouthpiece into the user's airway.

Abstract: A disease risk evaluation and education tool, preferably implemented in logic on a computing device such as a Personal Digital Assistant, permits a user to input patient-specific data relevant to evaluating that patient's risk for a particular disease, e.g., coronary heart disease. The tool's logic calculates the equivalent age of the patient, based on the Framingham data set and on the input data, and presents one or more treatment recommendations.
