Is SARS-CoV-2 soon to become airborne?

21 Sep 2021 by

SARS-CoV-2 has evolved in a way that makes the virus more capable at spreading, shunning antibodies, or both. What is more is that this change appears to be favouring a more efficient viral aerosol generation, as shown in a recent study.

Higher processed meat intake ups risk of mortality, CVD

21 Sep 2021

Consumption of unprocessed red meat and poultry does not predict mortality or major cardiovascular disease (CVD), but a higher intake of processed meat is a risk factor for increased mortality and major CVD, according to the results of a large multinational prospective study.

Changes in smartphone-sensed behaviours predict changes in depression symptoms

21 Sep 2021 by

Changes in sensor-derived behavioural features using a smartphone are associated with subsequent changes in mental health symptoms among people with elevated symptoms of depression, but there appears to be no evidence that depression changes correlate with subsequent changes in sensed behaviours, according to a study.

Healthy dietary habits help prevent cognitive decline with ageing

21 Sep 2021

A healthy diet, defined by adherence to either the Mediterranean diet, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, or Dutch Health Council dietary guidelines, is predictive of better cognitive function and slower cognitive decline with ageing from middle age onward, a study has shown.

Inhaled budesonide may be effective for treating early COVID-19 in adults

21 Sep 2021 by

The administration of inhaled budesonide for the treatment of early COVID-19 in adults reduced the probability of needing urgent medical care and time to recovery, according to findings from the STOIC* trial presented at ERS 2021.

Wearable sensors detect mild gait disturbances in early multiple sclerosis

21 Sep 2021 by

Wearable inertial sensors can detect gait disturbances with high sensitivity even during the early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), where established clinical global scales may miss slight deviations in gait, according to a recent study.

Oxcarbazepine tied to increased risk of fragility fracture in children

21 Sep 2021

In the treatment of children with epilepsy, oxcarbazepine (OXC), but not levetiracetam (LEV), appears to contribute to a higher risk of fragility fracture, a study has found.

Age, sex, certain drugs up risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia in CKD

21 Sep 2021

The risk of developing advanced colorectal neoplasia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with older age, male sex, and exposure to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and azathioprine, a study has found.

T-Dxd improves PFS vs T-DM1 in second-line HER2-positive mBC treatment

21 Sep 2021 by

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd) provides a highly clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) vs trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in second-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), results of the phase III DESTINY-Breast03 trial have shown.

Systemic treatment for metastatic melanoma might be beneficial in older patients

21 Sep 2021

Systemic melanoma treatment does not lead to increased toxicity in older adults and may yield slight survival benefits, a recent study has found. Nevertheless, death from causes other than melanoma contributes to a lower overall survival (OS) in older patients.
