A recent study published in the journal of Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity unveiled critical insights into the role of hemoglobin levels in predicting the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) which is a condition that significantly impacts millions of people globally. This research was conducted on a total of 815 patients with DKD from January 2010 […]
Denmark: A nonrandomized controlled trial showed the importance of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway in the pathophysiology of erythema and flushing in rosacea. The findings suggested that calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor inhibition holds potential in treating rosacea-associated erythema and flushing. “The study comprising 30 individuals with rosacea-associated flushing and erythema found that subcutaneous injections […]
Denmark: Systematic screening for respiratory symptoms combined with thoracic ultrasound (TUS) can reduce the diagnostic delay of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a recent study published in Arthritis Care & Research has shown. “To our knowledge, this prospective study is the first to use respiratory symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis as inclusion criteria,” […]
Admission blood sugar independent predictor of coagulopathy finds study published in the European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery Coagulopathy is prevalent in multiple trauma patients and worsens bleeding complications, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates. Hyperglycemia upon admission predicts hemorrhagic shock and mortality in severely injured patients. This study aimed to assess admission […]
In recent research conducted by Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a single injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) was identified to be more effective and safer than traditional topical prednisolone acetate (PA) in preventing complications following cataract surgery. The findings were published in the Ophthalmology journal. This retrospective study spanned from 2018 to 2021 and included 69,832 […]
It is believed that modulation of ADM pathway may improve outcomes in patients with septic shock. The Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track designation to enibarcimab for management of septic shock. Enibarcimab is a first-in-class non-neutralizing monoclonal antibody that binds to adrenomedullin (ADM), a vasoprotective hormone. AdrenoMed is now preparing a confirmatory Phase […]
A recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association demonstrated that a novel care method, the eat, sleep, console (ESC) approach, substantially lowers opioid exposure and the length of hospital stays for infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) when compared to the traditional care practices. The study was conducted from September 2020 […]
Full pulpotomy bests partial pulpotomy for managing spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis suggests a study published in the Journal of Endodontics. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome and prognostic factors for partial and full pulpotomy in the management of mature teeth with spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis. The study was a parallel double blind randomized […]
China: A recent meta-analysis published in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders has shown the potential of time-restricted fasting (TRF) as a treatment strategy for total body weight reduction by targeting adipose tissue with potential improvements in cardiometabolic function. The study suggests that time-restricted fasting interventions can effectively reduce fat mass and body weight while retaining lean body […]
Ultrahigh-spatial-resolution photon-counting detector CT improved assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), allowing for reclassification to a lower disease category in 54% of patients, according to a new study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The technology has the potential to improve patient management and reduce unnecessary interventions. Coronary […]
