Breo

Currently, antibiotic resistance is widespread among bacteria. This problem requires greater awareness because bacterial resistance increases, reducing antibiotic use effectiveness. Consequently, new alternative treatments are needed because the treatment options for these bacteria are limited. This work aims to determine the synergistic interaction and mechanism of action of Boesenbergia rotunda essential oil (BREO) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified 24 BREO chemicals (GC-MS)...

BACKGROUND: In high-income countries patients with Huntington disease (HD) typically present to healthcare providers after developing involuntary movements, or for pre-symptomatic genetic testing if at familial risk. A positive family history is a major guide when considering the decision to perform genetic testing for HD, both in affected and unaffected patients. Management of HD is focused upon control of symptoms, whether motor, cognitive, or psychiatric. There is no clear evidence to date of any disease-modifying agents...

Deoxycholic acid (Kybella) for submental fat; codeine polistirex/chlorpheniramine polistirex extended-release (Tuzistra XR) for coughs, allergies, and colds; ramucirumab (Cyramza) for colorectal cancer; and fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (Breo Ellipta) for asthma.

BACKGROUND: Brain perfusion is altered in both alcohol dependence and stimulant dependence. Although most substance users also abuse/depend on alcohol concurrently (polysubstance users; PSU), rigorous perfusion research in PSU is limited. Also, the relationships of perfusion abnormalities with cognition, impulsivity, or decision making are not well known. METHODS: Arterial spin labeling MRI and neuropsychological measures assessed perfusion levels and neurocognition in 20 alcohol-dependent individuals with comorbid-stimulant dependence (PSU), 26 individuals dependent on alcohol only (ALC), and 31 light/non-drinking controls (LD)...

Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (Relvar(®), Breo(®), Revinty(®)) is a fixed combination of a corticosteroid and a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) for once-daily use via a dry powder inhaler (Ellipta(®)). Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 µg is approved for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in several countries. This article reviews the clinical use of the combination in COPD and summarises pharmacological properties. Fluticasone furoate has enhanced affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor compared with other clinically used inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and longer lung retention than fluticasone propionate...

Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol inhalation powder (Breo Ellipta) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; atorvastatin/ezetimibe tablets (Liptruzet) for reducing low-density lipoproteincholesterol; and radium 223 dichloride (Xofigo) injection for late-stage, castrationresistant prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the effects of cigarette smoking on longitudinal brain morphological changes in the elderly. This study investigated the effects of a history of cigarette smoking on changes in regional brain volumes over 2 years in healthy, cognitively intact elderly individuals. We predicted that individuals with a history of cigarette smoking, compared with never smokers, demonstrate greater rate of atrophy over 2 years in regions that manifest morphological abnormalities in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as in the extended brain reward/executive oversight system (BREOS), which is implicated in the development and maintenance of substance use disorders...

Chronic alcohol-use disorders (AUDs) have been shown to interact with normal age-related volume loss to exacerbate brain atrophy with increasing age. However, chronic cigarette smoking, a highly co-morbid condition in AUD and its influence on age-related brain atrophy have not been evaluated. We performed 1.5 T quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in non-smoking controls [non-smoking light drinking controls (nsCONs); n = 54], smoking light drinking controls (sCONs, n = 34), and one-week abstinent, treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent (ALC) non-smokers (nsALCs, n = 35) and smokers (sALCs, n = 43), to evaluate the independent and interactive effects of alcohol dependence and chronic smoking on regional cortical and subcortical brain volumes, emphasizing the brain reward/executive oversight system (BREOS)...
