Medicare drug price negotiations lowered out-of-pocket costs for some beneficiaries, but those reaching the annual Part D cap saw no direct savings.

Hidradenitis suppurativa diagnosis often takes 7 to 10 years, and patients with skin of color often present with tunnels and scarring already in place.

In HIV, lymphoma survival tracks tumor stage and CD4 count, not viral suppression, a Spanish cohort shows.
