Article Synopsis
- - A study analyzed the prevalence and risk factors for poor asthma control among adults using fixed-dose combination inhalers, finding that 36.4% to 55.6% of participants had inadequately controlled asthma based on different assessment tools.
- - Poorly controlled asthma was linked to worse quality of life and increased healthcare visits, with frequent use of short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) and lower education levels identified as risk factors for suboptimal control.
- - The study indicated that about 35-55% of adults with asthma struggled with control, highlighting the need for better management strategies as poor control led to worse health outcomes.
We investigated stage-dependent changes in sensitivity of the thyroid gland to perchlorate during development of African clawed frog tadpoles (Xenopus laevis) in relation to non-thyroidal iodide transporting tissues. Perchlorate-induced increases in thyroid follicle cell size and colloid depletion were blunted when exposures began at Nieuwkoop-Faber (NF) stage 55 compared to when exposures began at NF stages 49 or 1-10. To determine if the development of other iodide transporting tissues may contribute to this difference we first examined which tissues expressed transcripts for the sodium dependent iodide symporter (NIS).
