The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, evaluated the safety and efficacy […]
Researchers have found in a new study that adding two percent crisaborole ointment to amorolfine hydrochloride cream significantly enhances therapeutic outcomes in the management of keratinized tinea foot. Tinea foot, a common superficial fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, often presents in a chronic keratinized form where thickened skin and scaling limit the penetration and efficacy […]
Researchers have determined in a new study that albuminuria, and not diminished kidney function, is independently associated with a greater risk of cancer development. The research, involving more than 1.3 million participants in 54 global cohorts, showed albuminuria levels to be associated consistently with site-specific and overall cancer risk, while eGFR had no apparent correlation […]
