    Abstract Background: Inhalational therapy is the cornerstone in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Patients' peak inspiratory flow impacts effective dry powder inhaler (DPI) delivery and management outcome.
    Objective: This study assessed peak inspiratory flow rates (PIFR) and determined the factors associated with suboptimal inspiratory flow rates among COPD patients.
    Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 participants (30 stable COPD patients and 30 age-and-sex matched controls). Socio-demographic characteristics was obtained and spirometry was done for all participants. PIFR assessment was done using the In-Check Dial Meter and was categorized as suboptimal (< 60L/min) or optimal (≥ 60L/min). P values less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant.
    Results: Mean age of the COPD patients and healthy controls were both 67.8 ± 10.3 years, with 53.3% being females. Post-bronchodilation FEV 1/FVC% for COPD patients was 54.15 ± 11.27%. The mean PIFR among COPD patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls, in all DPIs simulated, especially for Clickhaler (46.2±13.4 vs 60.5±11.4L/min, p<0.001). A significant proportion of COPD patients had suboptimal PIFR, in the simulated resistances against Clickhaler and Turbuhaler (70% vs 80%; p<0.001). Older age, shorter height and low BMI were associated with suboptimal PIFR among COPD patients. However, independent predictors of suboptimal PIFR were BMI, PEFR, FEV1% and FVC%.
    Conclusion: Suboptimal PIFR was found in a significant number of COPD patients when compared with healthy respondents. Routine assessment using In-Check Dial meter should be done to determine the suitability of dry powder inhalers for patients with COPD.

    Abstract Pneumococcus is a major cause of life-threatening invasive infections accounting for considerable morbidity and mortality among older adult population. The burden of pneumococcal infections (non-invasive) is mostly determined by Community Acquired Pneumonia. Globally and from public health perspective, vaccination has been recognised as a preventive measure of infectious diseases, thereby reducing health care cost, morbidity and mortality. Most high-income countries have included the pneumococcal vaccination in their mandatory and voluntary vaccination policies. However, many low and middleincome countries of the world have not adequately addressed the issue of adult pneumococcal vaccine. This overview describes the current status of pneumococcal vaccination and strategies to reduce the rate of pneumonia in this age group. Our aim is to stimulate the adoption of policies and production of national guidelines for the use of pneumococcal vaccines in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Asthma is one of the common chronic diseases globally. There is paucity of data on perceived stress among patients with asthma in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the extent of perceived stress and its association with coping strategies among adults with asthma.
    Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study in which 100 adults with asthma were consecutively recruited from the Respiratory Clinic of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. They completed a questionnaire containing demographic details, Perceived Stress Scale(PSS), Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief-COPE) Scale and Asthma Specific Coping Scale(ASCS).
    Results: Most of the respondents were female (56%, n = 56) with mean age of 38.8 (±16.5), and FEV1% predicted was 78.9%±24.5. Sixty-three (63%) participants had high levels of perceived stress. Patients with asthma who had high perceived stress were significantly younger than those with low perceived stress (χ2 = 2.66; p=0.01). The mean scores of coping strategies for asthma patients with high stress level was generally higher compared with those with low stress level, and was significantly higher in the adaptive coping strategy (t=-3.36; p=0.01) and its subscales. For asthma specific coping scale, there was significant difference between those with high perceived stress and low perceived stress in the positive appraisal (t=-2.95, p=0.004) and ignoring asthma (t=-2.09, p=0.040) subscales.
    Conclusion: The level of perceived stress is high among Nigerian patients with asthma. This study showed that the more stressed they are, the more they are likely to use coping strategies.

    Abstract Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) COPD is a significant cause of morbidity and the third leading cause of death worldwide. COPD is a chronic progressive disease which may be interspersed by periods of acute worsening of respiratory symptoms beyond normal day-to-day variations, called exacerbations, which substantially impact health status and has cumulative effects on lung function. Acute exacerbation of COPD negatively affects disease progression, facilitating decline in pulmonary function and resulting in impaired quality of life and increased mortality risk. Therefore, early introduction of preventive measures in patients at risk of COPD remains the cornerstone of management. This article summarizes clinical perspectives and current knowledge on COPD exacerbations, with insights into practices in low- and middle-income countries.

    Abstract Background: Emerging infectious diseases pose a great hazard to public health and the global economy. A novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged from Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Since then, it has spread globally causing a global health emergency of inconceivable magnitude, with significant morbidity and mortality. There is the need for clinicians and health care providers to understand and gain knowledge of the different aspects of the disease as it evolves.
    Objective: We reviewed existing literature on COVID-19 in order to present a synopsis of current understanding of the disease.
    Methods: Using PubMed, Embase and Medline, articles published between January and April 2020 on Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and resources from World Health Organisation were analyzed in order to have an understanding of the clinical characteristics, transmission dynamics, virology, diagnostic possibilities, prevention, management approach, controversies and impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare workforce.
    Results: Our review revealed that COVID-19 patients present with a myriad of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe respiratory disease, which can often be fatal. The mode of transmission via droplet infections makes it unduly contagious and difficult to control. Currently, antiviral drugs or vaccines are being developed to manage this condition.
    Conclusion: There is urgent need for potent antivirals and vaccine to manage those infected with COVID 19 and prevent infection. Global efforts need to be unified in combating this public health emergency and flattening the curve of spread.
