The impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the preferred nomenclature for NAFLD, on cardiovascular health and mortality among older adults is uncertain. As such, we aimed to identify whether MASLD increases the risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) (a composite of fatal coronary heart disease [excluding heart failure], nonfatal myocardial infarction, or fatal or nonfatal ischemic stroke), Atrial Fibrillation (AF), or all-cause mortality in older adults, and whether aspirin attenuates these risks in individuals with MASLD. This is a non-prespecified post-hoc analysis of the ASPREE (ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly) randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the feasibility of using high-flow humidified oxygen (HiFlo) as a treatment for children aged 2-11 with acute severe asthma (ASA) who did not respond to standard inhaled bronchodilator treatment.
  • - In a randomized controlled trial involving 56 children, those receiving HiFlo experienced a lower treatment failure rate (64%) compared to the standard care group (86%), and they also had a faster time to meet hospital discharge criteria (29.3 hours vs. 36.8 hours).
  • - The findings suggest that HiFlo could be a promising intervention for childhood ASA, warranting a larger definitive trial to evaluate its effectiveness despite the initial lack of evidence.
