Maternal levothyroxine exposure not associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring

02 Dec 2022 by

Levothyroxine exposure during pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the offspring, a territory-wide retrospective cohort study in Hong Kong has shown.

Expert perspectives on diagnosis and monitoring of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in Asia

02 Dec 2022 by

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a significantly underdiagnosed, life-threatening condition with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. Recently, clinical recommendations to diagnose and monitor ATTR-CM patients in Asia were published. Dr Chan Wan Xian, Cardiologist at the Asian Heart & Vascular Centre, Gleneagles Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, and Parkway East Hospital, Singapore, reviews these guidelines and shares practical tips for diagnosing and assessing ATTR-CM patients.

Total ankle replacement vs arthrodesis: Which is better for ankle osteoarthritis?

01 Dec 2022

Total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle fusion (AF) or arthrodesis both improve the Manchester–Oxford Foot Questionnaire walking/standing (MOXFQ-W/S) domain scores in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis at 52 weeks after surgery, reports a study. The two surgical treatments also show similar clinical scores and number of harms.

3-month rivaroxaban use safe, effective in isolated DVT

01 Dec 2022 by

Treatment with rivaroxaban for 3 months leads to a safe and successful reduction of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk compared to treatment for 6 weeks in patients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a study has shown.

1-year isometric exercise training improves BP management

01 Dec 2022

Isometric exercise training (IET) appears to be a good long-term intervention in managing resting blood pressure (BP), reports a recent study. IET delivers clinically important, chronic BP adaptations in patients at risk of hypertension.

What is the optimal time interval between stent placement and surgery?

01 Dec 2022 by

In patients with left-sided malignant colorectal obstruction (LMCO), deferring surgery for >4 weeks after placement of self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) appears to yield better short-term clinical outcomes, according to a recent study.

01 Dec 2022

In patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) appears to be an independent indicator of mortality, a new study has found.

Yearly surveillance fails to detect cancer early in primary sclerosing cholangitis

01 Dec 2022

In unselected patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), yearly surveillance with carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and magnetic resonance imaging including cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) does not seem to increase the chances of detecting cancer early, a new study has found.

The Emerging Role of Biosimilars in Value-Based Medicine

01 Dec 2022

Biologic medicines and biosimilars
Biologic medicines are a category of very specific, highly effective medicines produced by a sophisticated and complex process involving living system¹. Most of them are very large, complex molecules or mixtures of molecules, and many are produced using recombinant DNA technology. These medicines have revolutionised the treatment and prevention of many disabling and life-threatening diseases including cancers, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, psoriasis, human immunodeficiency virus, multiple sclerosis, growth deficiencies, and more¹.
