Cognitive Outcome in Young Adults after Resolution of Epilepsy in Childhood
Self‐limited epilepsies of childhood are common and were considered benign. We aim to determine whether cognitive function in young adults who experienced epilepsy as children and are subsequently seizure‐free and unmedicated differ from the general population. We report on a cross‐sectional population‐based study including 2,124,871 men and women aged

Efficacy of azithromycin in severe asthma from the AMAZES randomised trial
Background Low-dose azithromycin is an effective therapy for persistent asthma; however, its benefit in severe asthma is not defined. Methods Participants with severe asthma were identified from the AMAZES randomised, placebo-controlled trial of long ...

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Multiview Cluster Analysis Identifies Variable Corticosteroid Response Phenotypes in Severe Asthma.
Rationale: Corticosteroids (CSs) are the most effective asthma therapy, but responses are heterogeneous and systemic CSs lead to long-term side effects.

Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis
Objective Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare, relapsing, inflammatory disease. Management of EGPA predominantly relies on oral corticosteroids (OCS), which are associated with many adverse effects. The phase 3 MIRRA trial demonstrated efficacy and safety of mepolizumab, anti‐interleukin‐5 biologic, for EGPA.

Personalized medicine with biologics for severe type 2 asthma : current status and future prospects [PDF]
Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and poses a large socioeconomic burden, particularly in the 5% to 10% of severe asthmatics. So far, each entry of new biologics in clinical trials has led to high expectations for treating all severe ...

Asthma Is More Severe in Older Adults.
BackgroundSevere asthma occurs more often in older adult patients. We hypothesized that the greater risk for severe asthma in older individuals is due to aging, and is independent of asthma duration.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study of prospectively
