Mandibular device on par with CPAP for BP lowering in OSA patients

12 Apr 2024 by

In the CRESCENT trial, a mandibular advancement device (MAD) was noninferior to a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine for reducing 24-hr mean arterial blood pressure (MBP) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), uncontrolled hypertension, and high cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Niraparib maintenance yields favourable OS trend in patients with ovarian cancer

12 Apr 2024 by

Maintenance treatment with niraparib, a potent, highly selective PARP* inhibitor, provides a favourable overall survival (OS) trend compared with placebo in Chinese patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC), regardless of germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutation status, according to the ﬁnal analysis of the NORA trial presented at SGO 2024.

Paclitaxel-coated devices may prevent death in endovascular revascularization

11 Apr 2024

Exposure to paclitaxel-coated devices (PCDs) does not appear to increase the risk of death among patients who are undergoing endovascular revascularization for lower limb peripheral artery disease, suggest the results of DETECT, a nationwide, retrospective cohort study. In contrast, exposure to PADs may even help lower the risk of mortality.

Transient elastography scores accurately predict liver-related events in MASLD

11 Apr 2024 by

Vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE)–based Agile scores, developed for diagnosis of advanced fibrosis (Agile 3+ score) and cirrhosis (Agile 4 score) in patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), are highly accurate in predicting liver-related events (LREs) and may be suitable alternatives to liver biopsy in routine clinical practice and phase IIb/III clinical trials for steatohepatitis, researchers from the VCTE-Prognosis Study Group have reported.

Does the ACC pathway work for patients with chest pain?

10 Apr 2024

The expert consensus decision pathway recently published by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has demonstrated its safety and efficacy in people with chest pain participating in an observational cohort study. However, those with coronary artery disease (CAD) may not benefit from such strategy.
