Predicting ventilator-associated pneumonia in elderly patients requiring mechanical ventilation through the detection in tracheal aspirates
CONCLUSION: The detection of AM, pepsin, and LLMI in tracheal aspirates has promising clinical utility as an early warning biomarker of VAP in elderly patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.PMID:38032178 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2023.2288559 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Overuse of long-acting β < sub > 2 < /sub > -agonist/inhaled corticosteroids in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: time to rethink prescribing patterns
We describe practical recommendations for primary care physicians to optimize therapy for their patients and prevent overuse of ICS-based regimens. We advocate adherence to current recommendations and a greater focus on effective treatments to successfully control symptoms, minimize exacerbation risk, preserve lung function, maximize patient outcomes, and reduce the burden of drug-related adverse events.PMID:38032494 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2023.2284650 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Exploring factors related to clinically advanced fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the need for early screening and proactive management of metabolic risk factors for patients with NAFLD/NASH. The findings indicate a notable prevalence of obesity in the study population, a need for specialist referral for those at High-Risk of advanced fibrosis, and the importance of routine labs to evaluate metabolic factors. Primary care providers may be ideal providers to target these interventions and address this care need.PMID:38032542 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2023.2288560 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)
