Surya Bhatt, MD, MSPH, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, explained the phase 3 BOREAS and NOTUS trials demonstrated comparable safety profiles for dupilumab in treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Having a higher magnesium depletion score (MDS) independently predicts increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks in US patients with hypertension (HTN), emphasizing the importance of early HTN prevention and magnesium deficiency management.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Kristine Ashcraft, president and founder of YouScript, explains the importance of biomarker testing to distribute proper treatments to patients and minimize adverse events.

Thomas Hall, MD, FAAD, of US Dermatology Partners, explains that disparities in dermatological care arise from the uneven distribution of dermatologists, especially in rural areas, causing delayed diagnoses and higher health care costs.

Surya Bhatt, MD, MSPH, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, discussed the challenges of diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with type 2 inflammation, as well as the promising efficacy of dupilumab in treating this condition.

Exercise and dietary interventions reduced fatigue and improved both fat-free mass and physical functioning in patients with ovarian cancer (OC), but no significant differences in improvement were found between the intervention and control groups.

Two abstracts presented at the American Thoracic Society 2024 International Conference analyzed the phase 3 LIBERTY COPD BOREAS trial, finding that dupilumab improves pre- and post-bronchodilator lung function measures in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and type 2 (T2) inflammation.

Parental e-cigarette use was associated with an increased risk of pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) in a new study.

Surgery and chemotherapy significantly improved both overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with liver metastases originating from ovarian cancer (OC), who generally face a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of less than 30%.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) have an increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, highlighting the need for better understanding of these conditions through increased spirometry data collection.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) in visible areas significantly impacts the romantic relationships, occupations, and sexual health of French female adult patients, according to a new study.

The researchers identified age, tumor metastasis, and surgical treatment as key independent prognostic factors for cardiovascular mortality in patients with ovarian cancer, highlighting the need for individualized treatment and surveillance strategies.

Italian patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) face a significantly increased risk of severe cardiovascular events.

A US-based discrete choice experiment survey found that patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prioritize treatments that effectively control itching.

Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer (OC), particularly those older than 60 years or with a disease duration exceeding 5 years, had a higher incidence of subsequent dry eye disease (DED), suggesting a potential correlation between OC and DED.

Educational interventions for patients, including both in-person and online methods, significantly reduced atopic dermatitis (AD) severity.

Celiac disease (CD) may independently increase mortality risk among patients with microscopic colitis (MC), indicating a potential association between the conditions.

There is an extremely low rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnoses in Japan, particularly among patients with airflow obstruction, despite regular respiratory function tests.
