While it is known that systemic corticosteroids reduce blood eosinophil counts in patients with asthma, authors of a new study sought to determine whether the therapy affects the counts over time.
Because systemic corticosteroids can have adverse effects in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD, authors of a new study assessed whether eosinophil-guided therapy could be a safer alternative.
While corticosteroids are the most effective asthma treatment, not every patient responds well. Researchers used machine-learning-based approaches to determine contributing factors to individuals’ responses...
Adrenal suppression is a serious adverse effect associated with corticosteroid therapy. In a recent study, researchers sought to identify markers for susceptibility to adrenal suppression in children with...
In a meta-analysis of 11 studies, researchers investigated the effects of corticosteroid treatment on the rates of short- and long-term mortality among individuals with severe alcoholic hepatitis.
In a review of data from 15 studies, researchers investigated the effects of various systemic corticosteroid regimens on the risk of relapse in children with asthma.
There are concerns that inhaled corticosteroids, widely recommended for the treatment of asthma, could have similar adverse effects on bone health as systemic corticosteroids. In a recent study, researchers...
The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing among individuals age 60 years or older. In a recent study, researchers assessed the incidence and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in...
In a recent study, researchers compared the efficacy of extrafine inhaled corticosteroids with that of fine-particle corticosteroids at varying dosage levels for achieving asthma control.
