Fenebrutinib is a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of fenebrutinib on cardiac repolarization (QT interval) as well as its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. Part A was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending dose study of therapeutic… →

CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent pneumatic compression can prevent VTE in intensive care unit patients who are at high risk of hemorrhage. →

CONCLUSION: This study has limitations but it acts as a proof of principle towards larger studies, as clearly sufficiently powered trials are crucial in determining the nature and size of the treatment effect. Future trials should consider subgroup analysis, with respect to such factors as patient’s age at diagnosis, gender, extent of surgery, MGMT mutation… →

BACKGROUND: Until recently, community-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery was only available for people living with HIV on ART for ≥6 months with a suppressed viral load. However, early attrition from HIV care is common, particularly in refugee settlements where structural and psychosocial barriers to care are pronounced, and reducing barriers to life-saving ART sooner (e.g.,… →

CONCLUSION: Autologous MSC‑based therapy for SUI was feasible and showed an acceptable short‑term safety profile in this pilot research setting; however, clinical efficacy remained modest. The manufacturing and quality control methodology is reproducible in specialized cell processing centers, but its application should remain confined to clinical research conducted in compliance with current regulations governing human… →

CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic assessments should prioritize absolute MFO and BLC dynamical changes over Fatmax intensities, when interpreting fat-oxidation capacity, particularly under varying pedaling frequencies. By jointly characterizing blood-based and respiratory-based diagnostics under different exercise assessment conditions, this study helps improve the reliability of diagnosing the metabolic status in both healthy individuals and patients with metabolic disease. →

CONCLUSIONS: Redox water intake was associated with lower immediate post-exercise IL-6 compared with controls after baseline adjustment; however, pronounced baseline imbalance limits causal interpretation and warrants confirmation in larger trials with balanced inflammatory profiles. These findings highlight a potential biochemical mechanism linking hydration redox properties with inflammatory regulation during physical stress. →

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show minimal efficacy in recurrent high-grade astrocytoma (rHGA). Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), a minimally invasive cytoreductive approach, may prime rHGA for ICI response. A phase 1/randomized phase 2b trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02311582 ) was designed to test pembrolizumab in combination with LITT in patients with rHGA. Nine patients were enrolled in… →

CONCLUSIONS: The training did not increase total sleep time, likely due to insomnia’s multifactorial origin. However, training yielded beneficial effects on objective sleep quality and exercise-induced adaptation. Future research is needed to investigate the various etiologies of insomnia to develop tailored and personalized management approaches. →
