Defibrotide shows therapeutic potential in SARS-CoV-2-related ARDS

16 Aug 2022 by

The use of defibrotide therapy in critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is well tolerated and appears to induce promising response rate, as shown in the results of a small open-label trial.

Does TB influence viral suppression in HIV patients on DTG-based therapy?

16 Aug 2022 by

Incident tuberculosis (TB) appears to be a risk factor for virologic non-suppression (ie, viral load of >1,000 copies/mL) in HIV patients who have transitioned to dolutegravir (DTG)-based therapy with recycled NRTIs*, according to a retrospective subanalysis of the VISEND study.

Dupilumab improves asthma control in select patients

15 Aug 2022

Patients with type 2 asthma and who are using high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) may fare well with dupilumab, which has been shown to reduce severe exacerbations and improve lung function and asthma control in a recent study.

Coronavirus surrogates may stay on meat, fish in cold storage for up to a month

10 Aug 2022 by

Surrogates of SARS-CoV-2* – a lipid enveloped RNA bacteriophage (Phi6) and two animal coronaviruses (CoVs; MHV and TGEV**) – survived in cold-storage temperatures for 30 days, a study finds, highlighting the risk of viral survival on food products and potential transmission on humans upon consumption.

Poor cardiorespiratory fitness ups risk of mortality

09 Aug 2022

An inverse, independent, and graded association exists between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and mortality risk across the spectra of age, sex, and race, a recent study has found. In addition, there is no risk increase seen among extremely fit individuals.

Double-dose tigecycline more effective than standard doses, but with potentially more side effects

06 Aug 2022

Twice-daily 100-mg doses of tigecycline leads to better clinical response, bacterial clearance, and survival in intensive care unit patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia, reports a recent meta-analysis. However, such a double-dose regimen may also show higher treatment toxicities.

CT scan might help predict invasiveness of ground-glass nodules

30 Jul 2022

The invasiveness of ground-glass nodules (GGN) appears to be associated with their mean computed tomography (CT) value, a recent meta-analysis has found. This finding points to a potential prognostic value of CT scans in patients with GGNs.
