- Rationale: There is conflicting evidence on whether patients with asthma experience an accelerated decline in lung function with age. We examined the association between postbronchodilator lung function, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and atopy with age using a large European sample. Methods: In 17 centers in 11 European countries, case control studies were nested within representative cross-sectional surveys of adults aged less than 75 years. Representative samples of participants with asthma, CRS or both and controls were assessed for postbronchodilator ventilatory function, smoking history, atopy, and treatment. Multiple regression was used to assess the interactive effects of age and diagnostic group on decline in postbronchodilator ventilatory function. Results: A total of 3337 participants provided adequate data (778 with asthma, 399 with CRS, 244 with both asthma and CRS and 1916 controls who had neither asthma nor CRS). Participants with asthma had lower FEV1/FVC (-4.09% (95% CI: -5.02, -3.15, P < 0.001) and a steeper slope of FEV1/FVC against age (-0.14%/annum [95%CI: -0.19, -0.08]) equivalent to smoking 1-2 packs of cigarettes per day. Those with atopy had a slope equivalent to controls. Conclusions: People with asthma have a steeper decline in postbronchodilator lung function with age, but neither CRS nor atopy alone were associated with such decline.

- Background Endothelin A receptor antagonists (ET(A)RA) slow chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression but their use is limited due to fluid retention and associated clinical risks. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) cause osmotic diuresis and improve clinical outcomes in CKD and heart failure. We hypothesized that co-administration of the SGLT2i dapagliflozin with the ET(A)RA zibotentan would mitigate the fluid retention risk using hematocrit (Hct) and bodyweight as proxies for fluid retention. Methods Experiments were performed in 4% salt fed WKY rats. First, we determined the effect of zibotentan (30, 100 or 300 mg/kg/day) on Hct and bodyweight. Second, we assessed the effect of zibotentan (30 or 100 mg/kg/day) alone or in combination with dapagliflozin (3 mg/kg/day) on Hct and bodyweight. Results Hct at Day 7 was lower in zibotentan versus vehicle groups [zibotentan 30 mg/kg/day, 43% (standard error 1); 100 mg/kg/day, 42% (1); and 300 mg/kg/day, 42% (1); vs vehicle, 46% (1); P < .05], while bodyweight was numerically higher in all zibotentan groups compared with vehicle. Combining zibotentan with dapagliflozin for 7 days prevented the change in Hct [zibotentan 100 mg/kg/day and dapagliflozin, 45% (1); vs vehicle 46% (1); P = .44] and prevented the zibotentan-driven increase in bodyweight (zibotentan 100 mg/kg/day + dapagliflozin 3 mg/kg/day = -3.65 g baseline corrected bodyweight change; P = .15). Conclusions Combining ET(A)RA with SGLT2i prevents ET(A)RA-induced fluid retention, supporting clinical studies to assess the efficacy and safety of combining zibotentan and dapagliflozin in individuals with CKD.

- <i>Background/Aims:</i> Evidence underlines the importance of drinking patterns and individual characteristics in experiencing adverse alcohol-related consequences; however, little research has been conducted to explore who does and who does not experience consequences with similar drinking patterns. Using data from seven European countries, this study assesses the association between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and six adverse consequences. <i>Methods:</i> Conditional logistic regression models were estimated, cases (experiencing a consequence) being matched to controls (not experiencing the consequence) by drinking patterns. <i>Results:</i> In general, protective effects with increasing age and being in a partnership were consistent. Gender effects were mixed, but mainly protective for women. Educational achievement and economic status showed consistent effects across countries, but different directions of effect across consequences. Consequences mostly associated with individual drinking pattern <i>(injury, blackout</i>, and <i>loss of control over drinking)</i> exhibited similar patterns of associations, but varying ones arose for consequences additionally influenced by societal reaction to drinking <i>(guilt</i>, <i>role failure</i>, and <i>pressure to cut down drinking)</i>. <i>Conclusion:</i> Differences in strengths and directions of effects across consequences pointed to the possibility that the reporting of adverse consequences is not only influenced by alcohol consumption, but also by attributional processes related to demographic and socioeconomic statuses.
