Vorasidenib was first approved in 2024 for the treatment of Grade 2 gliomas with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutations and is now approved in over 40 countries, including Japan. During early development, vorasidenib pharmacokinetics (PK) was estimated in populations without Japanese participants. In 2019, this Phase 1 single ascending (two levels) dose study (NCT04145128)… →

CONCLUSION: In a large, real-world study designed to emulate a clinical trial, GLP-1 RAs were linked to increased psoriasis and decreased autoimmune blistering diseases compared with DPP-4is over up to 4 years’ follow-up. These results provide a dermatologic safety context to guide incretin therapy selection and highlight the importance of ongoing skin monitoring. →

Purpose: This study compares the accuracy of dental students in diagnosing different breathing sounds using traditional versus artificial intelligence-assisted precordial stethoscopes (AIPS).

CONCLUSIONS: CH was frequent in patients with AA and its prevalence appeared to be higher at posttherapy timepoints than at diagnosis. CH in AA may reflect the survival and expansion of selected residual hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells associated with immune-mediated damage.
