Global Psoriatic Arthritis Guidelines Reveal Gaps

A new comparative analysis of international guidelines for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) management reveals key divergences in treatment strategies across leading rheumatology societies, underscoring ongoing challenges in global consensus despite shared therapeutic goals.

New Mortality Risk Model for Severe Drug Reaction

A new international study has developed and validated prognostic models using novel inflammatory markers to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), a rare but life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction.

Is Faster Cancer Treatment Finally Within Reach? Understanding Subcutaneous Immunotherapy

Subcutaneous (SC) delivery of immunotherapies for solid tumors has emerged as a potentially transformative approach to cancer treatment, promising comparable clinical efficacy to intravenous (IV) therapies while significantly reducing treatment time and burden on healthcare systems.

Real-World Trial Validates AI for EGFR Mutation Testing in Lung Cancer

An artificial intelligence tool trained on digital pathology slides has demonstrated clinical-grade accuracy for detecting EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma and significantly reduced reliance on molecular testing, according to results from a large-scale real-world deployment study.

Artificial Sweetener Alters Vascular Function in the Brain

The non-nutritive sweetener erythritol, commonly found in sugar-free beverages, may impair brain microvascular endothelial cell function by increasing oxidative stress and disrupting nitric oxide (NO) signaling, according to new in vitro findings.

New Swab Method Boosts Candida auris Detection

A new composite sampling method targeting the anterior nares and hands detects Candida auris colonization with greater accuracy and consistency than traditional screening sites, according to a prospective cohort study.

Interruptions Undermine Lupus Decision Aid Impact

In a new multicenter study, researchers found that the effectiveness of a computerized patient decision aid (PtDA) for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) hinges not on where or how it is used but on whether patients view it fully and without interruptions.

Automated Lab Workflow Improves ICU Discharges

Implementing continuous laboratory automation significantly improves the management of bloodstream infections (BSIs), reducing diagnostic turnaround times and accelerating clinical decision-making, according to new data from a French ICU cohort.

Maternal Asthma Linked to Preterm Birth Risk

Women with asthma, especially those with active symptoms during delivery, face higher risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and cesarean delivery, according to a large population-based study of over 430,000 pregnancies in Canada.

Gut Microbiome Modulation May Boost Cancer Immunotherapy

Modulating the gut microbiome may enhance immunotherapy responses in patients with solid tumors, according to a recent review exploring emerging evidence across melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
