A new review article shows how technologies like next-generation sequencing might help clinicians tailor care for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

This experimental research suggests the expression levels of certain genes might help explain why people with lung cancer often have more severe cases of COVID-19.

Female patients and people younger than 18 years were particularly sensitive to pollution levels, this study found.

This new report shows people who used the digital therapeutic saw an improvement of 14% to 15% in their average blood glucose levels regardless of their racial or ethnic category.

The findings on tumor mutational burden (TMB) may fill a gap in biomarkers for patients who have non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The study authors said the method also has the advantages of having a quick turnaround and a relatively low cost.

The case is believed to be just the second reported in the scientific literature.

Patients who had non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with homologous recombination gene mutations had better outcomes, although no single gene in the pathway appeared to have a causal role.

The findings include the identification of a 12-gene signature that could be used to categorize patients as high or low risk.

The new report found no evidence that second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were more likely to lead to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in patients with lung cancer.

Distal cholangiocarcinomas are rare, but clinicians can use a variety of imaging to diagnose it.

Although the skin condition is common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), it usually is not the initial manifestation.

Aerobic capacity and cardiovascular risk both improve when people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exercise regularly, according to a new systematic review.

The study, based on care in Japan, found patients would be more quickly referred for targeted therapy.

Differences in overall survival between cannabis users and those who did not use the plant were small and could be explained by differences in the make-ups of the 2 cohorts of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, researchers said.

The data could help clinicians better identify patients who are good fits for belimumab after rituximab.

New research shows people with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) have higher rates of childhood trauma of all types compared with people with epilepsy.

The study offers guidance to clinicians treating the roughly 10% of patients with rare EGFR mutations.

The new report is based on real-world data from a patient registry and shows some patients even regain motor function under treatment with nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

The use of continuous glucose monitoring and attendance at a diabetes education appointment appeared to increase the odds of patient improvement.

The study of real-world evidence (RWE) found nearly 9 in 10 patients in a highly vaccinated cohort avoided hospitalization within 15 days of treatment for COVID-19.

A new report highlights the role at-home care played for geriatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study findings suggest that eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), like other atopic diseases, may be associated with infections.

Investigators still do not fully understand how cannabidiol (CBD) works in patients with seizures, according to a new review.

New data show patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as salvage therapy tended to have meaningful results despite treatment failure following B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T.

Patient avoidance or postponement of care are common reasons for home health care delays, the authors said.

Authors also found that the mortality rate of people with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) are generally similar to that of the general population.

The child living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 2 had less fatigue and improved functional scores as time went on.

These second-generation basal insulin analogs, Gla-300 and IDeg-100, also had similar safety profiles, investigators found.
