Asthma is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by airway inflammation that can cause variable, usually reversible airway obstruction and bronchial hyperreactivity. This illness has a spectrum from intermittent to persistent that has mild, medium or severe intensity. As our understanding of the underling inflammatory pathway grows, so too does our catalogue of advanced treatments (such as monoclonal antibodies), opening the path for treatment individually curated for patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the major natural hazards to island and coastal communities and ecosystems. However, isotopic compositions of TC-derived precipitation (P) in surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) reservoirs are still lacking. We tested the three main assumptions of the isotope storm "spike" hypothesis (sudden spikes in isotopic ratios).

- This article examines how neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in dementia, their underlying brain mechanisms, and ways to assess and manage them.
- Recent research indicates these symptoms are linked to frontal brain circuits, and while few medications are FDA-approved, recent trials suggest benefits from antidepressants and the newly approved brexpiprazole for agitation in Alzheimer’s.
- Neuropsychiatric symptoms often appear before cognitive decline in dementia and significantly impact patients and caregivers, making behavioral interventions the first choice, often supplemented with medications.
