Sex Differences in Statin Intolerance: Insights From the CLEAR Outcomes Trial
CONCLUSIONS: This is the only cardiovascular outcomes trial to date that exclusively enrolled patients with statin intolerance, and the largest contemporary study of lipid lowering therapy in females, a group historically underrepresented in clinical trials. Bempedoic acid was equally tolerated by both sexes and represents a viable alternative to statins to reduce cardiovascular risk. →

Vonoprazan Versus Tegoprazan-Amoxicillin Dual Therapy for Treatment-Naïve Patients With Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSION: Vonoprazan/amoxicillin dual therapy achieved satisfactory H. pylori eradication rates with a favorable safety profile in treatment-naïve patients. Tegoprazan/amoxicillin dual therapy was associated with fewer gastrointestinal adverse event incidences, while optimizing tegoprazan dosing frequency may be necessary to improve the eradication. →

The effect of inhaled dry salt on pulmonary mucociliary clearance in obstructive lung disease: A randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover study
CONCLUSIONS: Inhalation of 40 mg dry NaCl was well tolerated without acute adverse effects in COPD patients. However, early termination left the study underpowered, increasing the risk of type II error. Non-significant findings should not be interpreted as evidence of no effect. Larger, adequately powered trials are needed to clarify the impact of dry NaCl… →

Psychologically informed reminder messages for promoting BRCA1/2 carrier screening: evidence from a large-scale population-based study
Psychologically Informed Reminder Messages (PIRMs) may promote health-behavior change, but their impact on preventive genetic screening is unclear. Due to low adherence to a screening program, Clalit Health Services initiated an intervention to encourage BRCA1/2 carrier screening in July 2022. This observational study assesses the effectiveness of the intervention in encouraging screening and its spillover… →
