Impact of Post-Visit Outreach on Inhaled Corticosteroid Refill Persistence in Children and Young Adults With Asthma.

Background: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are a fundamental pillar of most regimens for long-term control of persistent asthma. Poor adherence to ICS medication is a common problem in the asthma population that can lead to poor asthma control. We hypothesized that conducting a follow-up telephone call after general pediatric clinic visits for asthma would improve refill persistence.

CNCM I-745 Modulates the Fecal Bile Acids Metabolism During Antimicrobial Therapy in Healthy Volunteers.

CNCM I-745 (SB) is a probiotic yeast used to lower the incidence of antibiotic-associated () infection, though its mechanism of action remains unclear. Cholic acid is a primary bile acid, which triggers the germination and promotes the growth of . The intestinal microbiota transforms primary into secondary bile acids.
