Asthma Management: A Comparison of Old and New Treatment Protocols
The key distinction between the old and new asthma treatment protocols is the shift away from using short-acting beta agonists (SABA), such as salbutamol, as the primary reliever. The current approach recommends starting with a combination of a long-acting beta agonist (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), such as formoterol and budesonide, from the outset.
This change was driven by evidence showing a reduction in asthma exacerbations and emergency department visits with the newer protocol. Consequently, over the coming decades, salbutamol is expected to become much less commonly used, possibly limited to emergency settings.

Telegram’s stand out feature is its encryption scheme that keeps messages and media secure in transit. The scheme is known as MTProto and is based on 256-bit AES encryption, RSA encryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The result of this complicated and technical-sounding jargon? A messaging service that claims to keep your data safe.Why do we say claims? When dealing with security, you always want to leave room for scrutiny, and a few cryptography experts have criticized the system. Overall, any level of encryption is better than none, but a level of discretion should always be observed with any online connected system, even Telegram.
