    Abstract Purpose of review: To provide a fast overview about the introduction and development of anticholinergic drugs in Western medicine to their current indications particularly in asthma.
    Recent findings: Although short-acting muscarinic antagonists have been positioned in the last 15 years for the treatment of adults and children with moderate-to-severe acute asthma in the emergency setting (reducing the risk of hospital admissions and improving lung function), a growing body of evidence has recently emerged that positions the long-acting muscarinic anticholinergic tiotropium bromide as add-on therapy to at least inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) maintenance therapy in adults, adolescents, and children with symptomatic asthma. Thus, the addition of tiotropium bromide to ICS alone or ICS and another controller was associated with significant improvements in spirometric measures and asthma control, and a significantly decrease in the rate of asthma exacerbations.
    Summary: Short-acting muscarinic antagonists and tiotropium bromide have a well established role in the treatment of different phases of asthma. Further data are needed to provide more evidence on other selective long-acting muscarinic antagonists in addition to tiotropium as potential treatment options.

    Abstract Background: Diverse smoking trajectories may influence cytokine expression after non-surgical periodontal therapy and supportive periodontal care. Thus, we aimed to describe cytokine profiles in periodontal healing after periodontal therapy in smokers.
    Methods: A smoking cessation program and non-surgical periodontal therapy were offered to 80 smokers with periodontitis. Smoking trajectories (quitters/light, moderate, heavy) were observed. The association of salivary interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) with smoking trajectories and periodontal outcomes was determined using mixed-effects linear regression.
    Results: Among quitters/light smokers, IL-1β was associated with an increase in mean periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and mean clinical attachment level (CAL). IL-6 was associated with a decrease in mean PPD and CAL in heavy smokers, whereas IL-8 was associated with a decrease in PPD among moderate smokers. TNFα was associated with a reduction in mean PPD and CAL among quitters/light smokers, while among moderate smokers, TNFα was associated with an increase in mean PPD and CAL. IL-12 and IL-13 were associated with a decrease in mean PPD in moderate smokers.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that distinctive smoking exposures induce differential cytokine expression, which, in turn, seems to influence periodontal repair.

    Abstract Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is caused by severe thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency and can lead to chronic deficits. In this case, a 22-year-old pregnant patient at 10 1/7 weeks of gestation presented to the emergency department with malaise, asthenia, headache, weakness, vomiting, and weight loss of 12 kg. Pancreatitis and hepatic steatosis were considered but ruled out, and cholecystolithiasis was confirmed by ultrasound. After significant neurological deterioration, the patient underwent a cranial MRI that revealed suggestive findings in the thalamus consistent with WKS. WKS is a rare complication of hyperemesis gravidarum and should be included in the differential diagnosis of persistent vomiting in order to initiate early and appropriate treatment.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The purpose of this study is to highlight some of the recent findings related with the management of acute exacerbations in the context of the emergency department setting.
    Recent findings: β₂-agonist heliox-driven nebulization significantly increased by 17% [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.2-29.4] peak expiratory flow, and decreased the rate of hospital admissions (risk ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.98), compared with oxygen-driven nebulization. Other findings indicate that there is no robust evidence to support the use of intravenous or nebulized magnesium sulphate in adults with severe acute asthma, and that levalbuterol was not superior to albuterol regarding efficacy and safety in individuals with acute asthma. Finally, hyperlactatemia developed during the first hours of acute asthma treatment has a high prevalence, is related with the use of β₂-agonists and had no clinical consequences.
    Summary: After a comprehensive review of the best quality pieces of literature published in the last year, it is possible to conclude that the goals of acute asthma management remain almost unchanged.

    Abstract Information on dry matter intake (DMI) and energy balance (EB) at the animal and herd level is important for management and breeding decisions. However, routine recording of these traits at commercial farms can be challenging and costly. Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique applicable to a large cohort of animals that is routinely used to analyze milk components and is convenient for predicting complex phenotypes that are typically difficult and expensive to obtain on a large scale. We aimed to develop prediction models for EB and use the predicted phenotypes for genetic analysis. First, we assessed prediction equations using 4,485 phenotypic records from 167 Holstein cows from an experimental station. The phenotypes available were body weight (BW), milk yield (MY) and milk components, weekly-averaged DMI, and FT-MIR data from all milk samples available. We implemented mixed models with Bayesian approaches and assessed them through 50 randomized replicates of a 5-fold cross-validation. Second, we used the best prediction models to obtain predicted phenotypes of EB (EBp) and DMI (DMIp) on 5 commercial farms with 2,365 phenotypic records of MY, milk components and FT-MIR data, and BW from 1,441 Holstein cows. Third, we performed a GWAS and estimated heritability and genetic correlations for energy content in milk (EnM), BW, DMIp, and EBp using the genomic information available on the cows from commercial farms. The highest correlation between the predicted and observed phenotype (r

    Abstract Purpose of review: Guidelines recommend the use of daily inhaled corticosteroids as preferred treatment for preschoolers, children, adolescents, and adults with recurrent wheezing and mild persistent asthma. However, intermittent or as-needed inhaled corticosteroids treatment in response to symptoms is an emerging strategy. This review is focused on the analysis (clinical efficacy and safety) of this approach in comparison with the current daily-based therapy.
    Recent findings: Recently, some authors favored the use of inhaled corticosteroids based on symptoms. It has been suggested that a symptom-based approach could reduce the amount of drug used, minimize the risk of adverse events, and reduce healthcare costs. In contrast, physicians prescribing intermittent inhaled corticosteroids would give the wrong message to their patients about the chronicity of the disease. Currently, there is a significant body of high-quality clinical studies and systematic reviews that have addressed this important controversy, and whose analysis allows us to extract some important conclusions.
    Summary: Present evidence does not support a change in the direction of an intermittent or symptom-based use approach for recurrent wheezing and mild-to-moderate persistent asthma. At this point, there is no convincing basis to alter the current strategy to inhaled corticosteroids dosing, and more studies are needed comparing these two approaches.

    Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths resulting from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is associated with hypertension and this is a key predictor of severe liver outcomes and an indicator of nonspecific portal fibrosis.
    Aim: To assess the association between hypertension and NAFLD severity.
    Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from Peruvian adults with obesity and NAFLD who attended a Peruvian bariatric center. The severity of NAFLD was assessed using the Fatty Liver Inhibition of Progression algorithm / Steatosis, Activity and Fibrosis score. Hypertension was determined by either being recorded in the medical records or if the patient had a systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg. To evaluate the association of interest, we calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) using Poisson generalized linear models with logarithmic link function and robust variances. For the multivariable models, we adjusted for age, sex, physical activity and smoking.
    Results: Our study included 234 participants. The prevalence of hypertension was 19.2%, while the prevalence of severe NAFLD was 46.2%. After adjusting for confounders, the prevalence of hypertension was found to be significantly higher in the severe NAFLD group compared to the non-severe group (aPR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.03-1.74). When stratified by the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the association remained significant only in the group without MetS (aPR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.05-3.11).
    Conclusion: We found an association between hypertension and severe NAFLD in adults with obesity, particularly in those without MetS.
