A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association found that Rilzabrutinib decreased itching and hives while preserving a positive risk-benefit profile, indicating that it might be a useful therapy for individuals with moderate to severe chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) that is resistant to antihistamines. The primary cause of CSU is the activation […]
USA: A recent large-scale investigation published in the Journal of Periodontology by Muhammad H. A. Saleh and Hamoun Sabri from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry has revealed a dose-dependent relationship between the severity of periodontitis and the presence of multiple systemic health conditions. Using data from electronic health records spanning 2013 to 2023, […]
USA: Early single-center data suggest that in utero embolization for high-risk Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM) is feasible, with surviving infants showing normal neurodevelopment; however, the risk of preterm delivery needs further investigation. A preliminary communication published in JAMA by Dr. Darren B. Orbach and colleagues from Boston Children’s Hospital describes the first systematic attempt […]
Sweden: In a significant advancement for dialysis care, researchers from Linkoping University, Sweden, have found that chlorhexidine is more effective than ethanol in reducing bacterial presence during buttonhole cannulation in patients undergoing haemodialysis via arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The study, led by Karin Staaf and colleagues from the Department of Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences, was […]
A new study published in the journal of Open Forum Infectious Diseases showed that tetracyclines are associated with shorter hospital stays and fever durations than macrolides and fluoroquinolones in patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Knowing the epidemiological features of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is essential for making well-informed diagnostic choices and developing the best possible treatment […]
A landmark study has revealed that autoantibodies-immune proteins traditionally associated with autoimmune disease-may profoundly influence how cancer patients respond to immunotherapy. The study, published in Nature, offers a potential breakthrough in solving one of modern-day oncology’s most frustrating mysteries: why checkpoint inhibitors work for some patients but not others-and how we can extend their benefits […]
Researchers have found in a new study that Total thyroidectomy can be safely performed in obese patients without an increased risk of surgery-related complications, despite the longer operative durations associated with higher BMI. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity. We aimed to analyze the impact of BMI on surgical complications in […]
A new study that examined older and newer medications to treat seizures has found that using some medications during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of malformations at birth, or birth defects. The study is published July 16, 2025, in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. “Seizures can lead to […]
A new study, published in Nature Medicine, has investigated the potential of specific biomarkers such as tau217, Neurofilament Light (NfL), and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) to predict the occurrence of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, up to ten years before an actual diagnosis in cognitively healthy older adults living in the community. Previous research has […]
A new study published in the BMC European Journal of Medical Research showed that brief maternal oxygen inhalation in third trimester leads to higher pulsatility index for the pulmonary artery (PPI) and lower cerebroplacental ratio (CPR). These changes suggest a potential impact on fetal circulation, warranting further investigation into its implications. Newborns have not been […]
