Brandon Mason, of Maritime Archaeology Ltd, said it would be hard to"overstate the significance" of the find as it would be one of the longest-surviving pre-Viking anchors from northern European waters outside the Mediterranean region. If dated to the time of the Roman occupation of Britain, experts said it is most likely to have come from one of the larger merchant ships of the Roman fleet.
The 100kg wrought iron anchor, which is more than two metres long, was discovered about 25 miles off the coast of

Effect of timing of bronchodilator therapy initiation on exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a retrospective cohort study - Respiratory ResearchBackground The benefit of prompt vs delayed treatment initiation with inhaled long-acting bronchodilators in reducing exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate if long-acting bronchodilator therapy initiation within 30 days of COPD diagnosis reduces exacerbation risk in patients with COPD. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with COPD based on claims and electronic medical records data extracted from the Real World Data database. The index date (day 0) was the date of the first confirmed inpatient or outpatient COPD diagnosis between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2018. Patients with COPD without an asthma diagnosis and aged ≥ 40 years at the index date were included. Patients who initiated inhaled long-acting bronchodilator therapy within the first 30 days (day 0 to day 29) were categorized into the “prompt therapy” group and the rest into the “delayed therapy” group. Time from day 30 post-diagnosis to the first exacerbation and annual exacerbation rate (AER) were evaluated for the overall population and those stratified by COPD phenotype, including chronic bronchitis (CB) and emphysema. Results Compared with the delayed therapy group (n = 1516), time to first exacerbation was prolonged (hazard ratio 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.70, 0.87]) and annual rates of moderate or severe exacerbations were lower (rate ratio 0.74; 95% CI [0.65, 0.84]) in the prompt therapy group (n = 1466). Similarly, time to first exacerbation was prolonged and AERs were lower in the prompt therapy group in the subgroups of patients with CB or emphysema. Conclusions This is the first study to demonstrate a prolonged time to first exacerbation upon initiation of long-acting bronchodilators within 30 days of COPD diagnosis. A beneficial effect was also observed in patients with CB and emphysema. Our data support advising patients to initiate long-acting bronchodilators soon after COPD diagnosis.
