Gastric Scintigraphy Helps Diagnose and Guide Diabetic Gastroparesis Treatment

A study from Cairo University Hospital reveals that gastric scintigraphy and the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index are valuable tools for diagnosing diabetic gastroparesis and predicting treatment outcomes.

Rare Genetic Variants Linked to Severe Brain Disease After Chickenpox

Rare genetic variants affecting antiviral, inflammatory, and autophagy pathways may explain severe neurological complications from chickenpox in children.

Ultrasound Tool Offers New Insight Into Autoimmune Lung Disease

A new study demonstrates that a modified lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring system can accurately assess severity and prognosis in systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease-associated interstitial lung disease (SARD-ILD).

Upadacitinib Shows Promise for Moderate-to-Severe HS Treatment

Patients receiving once-daily upadacitinib 30 mg achieved significantly greater reductions in abscesses and inflammatory nodules compared with historical placebo rates.
