    This NEJM article (http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/NEJMclde078123v1) should be of interest. This was the first of the NEJM's 'Clinical Decisions' series "a new interactive feature designed to help us understand how our readers would manage a given clinical case."

    The first case involved how to tailor the care of a 30-year-old woman with mild persistent asthma who, although only intermittently symptomatic while receiving treatment with inhaled beclomethasone at a dose of 160 µg twice a day, desired to cut back her treatment.
