JAK inhibitors pose increased risk of developing shingles

12 Jan 2023

Exposure to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors tofacitinib and upadacitinib, as well as to JAK inhibitors as a class, appears to put individuals at increased risk of developing herpes zoster infection, with the risk increasing at higher doses, as reported in a study.

IOP-induced ONH strains negatively tied to retinal sensitivity in glaucoma patients

12 Jan 2023

Optic nerve head (ONH) strains under intraocular pressure (IOP) show a negative association with retinal sensitivity in patients with open-angle glaucoma, according to a study. In particular, high-tension glaucoma (HTG) patients with higher ONH strains are more likely to show lower retinal sensitivities.

Recent hyperglycaemia helps detect pancreatic cancer early

11 Jan 2023

Pancreatic cancer may be identified early if assessment will be steered towards the point of recent hyperglycaemia based on elevated HbA1c, suggests a retrospective cohort study, noting that such early detection may then improve survival in cancer patients.
