TLDR
Global health has steadily improved over the past 30 years as measured by age-standardised DALY rates, and there has been a marked shift towards a greater proportion of burden due to YLDs from non-communicable diseases and injuries.

Asthma management in low and middle income countries: case for change

TL;DR: A single ICS–formoterol inhaler-based approach to asthma management for all severities of asthma, from mild to severe, starting at diagnosis, might overcome SABA overuse/over-reliance and reduce the burden of symptoms and severe exacerbations.

City-level impact of extreme temperatures and mortality in Latin America

TL;DR: A longitudinal analysis of daily ambient temperatures and mortality among 326 Latin American cities between 2002 and 2015 was conducted in this paper . And the authors observed 15,431,532 deaths among ≈2.9 billion person-years of risk and the excess death fraction of total deaths was 0.67% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.58-0.74%) for heat-related deaths and 5.09%(95% CI 4.64-5.47%) for coldrelated deaths.
