INTRODUCTION: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain a poor prognosis despite the development of chemotherapy. Although programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade has shown great efficacy in various solid tumours, its application in treating PDAC is limited. Recent studies have indicated that chemotherapy or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may improve the antitumour effect of…
CONCLUSIONS: The criteria of the PIVOT trial can be applied to real-world scenarios in the decision-making process for the treatment of primary RRD, with excellent anatomical and functional outcomes.
INTRODUCTION: Despite the available secondary preventive treatments, the management of stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) remains challenging. Intermediate coronary lesion (ICL), defined as luminal stenosis between 50% and 70%, is a key stage of SCAD. However, existing therapeutic strategies are limitated in delaying plaque progression and associated with various adverse effects and economic burdens. Qing-Xin-Jie-Yu…
CONCLUSIONS: In a randomized placebo-controlled trial, PPoP reduces obstruction and improves exercise performance in severely symptomatic patients with LVMCO.
CONCLUSIONS: We did not replicate the finding that support and training improves AUDIT-C screening rates with wait-list control data. The benefits of support are likely context dependent. Coincidental policy changes may have sensitised services to the effects of support in the earlier phase of the study. Then the COVID-19 pandemic may have made services less…
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of many drugs that are currently on the market and is therefore a key player in drug-drug interactions (DDIs). ACT-1004-1239 is a potent and selective, first-in-class ACKR3/CXRC7 antagonist being developed as a treatment for demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis. Based on the human absorption,…
CONCLUSIONS: CBL enhances students’ clinical decision-making and proficiency in DF diagnosis, as evidenced by more consistent and accurate VAS scoring compared to LBL. These findings highlight the importance of innovative educational strategies in dental curricula, with implications for improving training quality and clinical outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Dornase alfa reduces pathogenic inflammation in COVID-19 pneumonia, demonstrating the benefit of cost-effective therapies that target extracellular chromatin.
CONCLUSIONS: Adding a collaborative care team to enhanced standard of care did not improve BP control but did improve patient ratings of chronic illness care.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer with a very poor prognosis. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has taken center stage in the currently ongoing revolution that is changing standard-of-care treatment for several malignancies, including MPM. As multiple arguments and accumulating lines of evidence are in support of the existence of a therapeutic synergism…
