Early breast cancer: AIs reduce recurrence vs tamoxifen in premenopausal women on ovarian suppression

17 Feb 2022 by

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) reduce the risk of recurrence in premenopausal women with oestrogen receptor (ER)–positive early-stage breast cancer receiving ovarian suppression, a meta-analysis of four randomized trials has shown.

Patient-reported outcomes tied to healthcare use in NDMM

16 Feb 2022

Patient-reported outcome measures may help predict healthcare utilization, such as emergency department visits or unplanned hospitalizations, among patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), a recent study has found.

Gut dysbiosis tied to distal neuropathic pain in people with HIV

16 Feb 2022

Distal neuropathic pain in people with HIV may be partly explained by gut dysbiosis, particularly by lowered diversity and the overabundance of Blautia and Clostridium relative to Lachnospira taxa, a recent study has found.

Tirofiban may improve outcomes in LAA strokes

16 Feb 2022 by

While additional tirofiban prior to endovascular treatment (EVT) did not appear to benefit stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), it did seem to have an advantage for those with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), findings from the RESCUE BT trial have shown.

Repeated epidemic exposure not protective against trauma-related symptoms among HCWs

16 Feb 2022 by

The current pandemic has seen more than a quarter of healthcare workers (HCWs) who have sustained psychological trauma in Singapore, regardless of prior experience with the SARS epidemic, a study has found.

Symptoms do not indicate gluten exposure in coeliac disease, NCGS patients

16 Feb 2022

Symptoms are not a good indicator of gluten exposure in either patients with coeliac disease (CD) or noncoeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), suggests a study. Production of serum interleukin (IL)-2 signals a rapid-onset gluten-induced T-cell activation in CD despite long-standing treatment.

Trastuzumab biosimilar on par with reference agent in HER2-positive gastric cancer

16 Feb 2022 by

CT-P6, a trastuzumab biosimilar approved for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC), is as efficacious as reference trastuzumab in terms of response rates, progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS), a study has shown.

Decreased mean, diastolic arterial pressure tied to faster RNFL loss

16 Feb 2022

Lower mean (MAP) and diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) during follow-up significantly correlate with faster rates of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) loss when adjusted for intraocular pressure (IOP), reports a study.
