During a flare-up of recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), a combination of drugs may provide relief. “You need to get rid of the inflammation with the steroids, and then treat with a bronchodilator to open the air passages that are squeezed shut,” says Amy Johnson, DVM, DACVIM, of the University of Pennsylvania. “For an acute episode, we usually recommend systemic steroids administered either intravenously or in the muscle, or even orally, and bronchodilators.”

A new rapid diagnostic platform is now capable of sending test results to smartphones and health agencies in real time. This technology can be easily modified to detect various diseases, including influenza, Zika, dengue, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, Lyme disease, mumps, measles, chickenpox, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as well as foodborne pathogens. Compared to current molecular testing for COVID-19, the platform is derived from existing nanosensor technology developed by IdentifySensors Biologics.
