2024 Update on Position Statement by Experts from the Polish Society of Allergology and the Polish Respiratory Society on the Evaluation of Efficacy and Effectiveness of Single Inh... by Paweł Śliwiński, Adam Antczak, Adam Barczyk, Adam J. Białas, Małgorzata Czajkowska-Malinowska, Karina Jahnz-Różyk, Marek Kulus, Piotr Kuna, Maciej Kupczyk

“…The accumulated evidence suggests that adding LAMA to a medium- or high-dose ICS/LABA results in a decrease of asthma exacerbations compared to medium- or high-dose ICS/LABA alone, accompanied by sustained enhancements in lung function parameters. In adult patients experiencing suboptimal asthma control despite medium/high-dose ICS/LABA treatment—regardless of adherence to GINA-recommended strategies, such as MART therapy as a first-line approach, or alternative second-line strategies—we propose that the preferred course for intensifying asthma therapy involves the addition of a LAMA, ideally in the form of SITT.…”

Cleavage site heterogeneity at the pre-mRNA 3′-untranslated region regulates gene expression in oxidative stress response by Feba Shaji, Jamshaid Ali, Rakesh S. Laishram

“…The endonucleolytic cleavage step of the eukaryotic mRNA 3′-end processing is considered imprecise, which leads to heterogeneity of cleavage site (CS) with hitherto unknown function. Contrary to popular belief, we show that this imprecision in the cleavage is tightly regulated, resulting in the CS heterogeneity (CSH) that controls gene expression in antioxidant response. …”
