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.

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.

This new study shows how using electronic health record (EHR) data can objectively quantify patient treatment burden among individuals who have multiple myeloma (MM) compared with patient-reported outcomes, which can be subject to recall bias.

Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths among women in the United States, yet relatively little research funding is spent on the issue, the authors of a new study say.

This new report also shows the value of national databases tracking the use of ventilation support.

A new report has found continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may help reduce staff burden in the intensive care unit (ICU) by reducing the need for blood gas monitoring.

The new data suggest risdiplam can be a viable option for people with spinal muscular atrophy who cannot take or tolerate the 2 other approved disease-modifying therapies.

A new report underscores how treatment decisions for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affect patients’ health care utilization and costs.

Colombia and Brazil had the highest prevalence and incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a new investigation found.

A new report found interesting links between genetic factors associated with COVID-19 severity and autoimmune disease among persons who have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Existing evidence suggests genetics, environmental factors, and exposure to specific chemicals—such as those in cigarettes—can all increase a person’s risk of systemic lupus erythematosus.

It is unclear what role treatment plays in affecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, the authors found.

These new study data are based on 20 years of follow-up in 92 Chinese children with lupus nephritis.

The index for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was crafted based on a literature review by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Data suggest incidence and prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) vary widely among regions, although the authors noted some regions have been studied more extensively than others.

The report found people using continuous monitoring systems spent more time in their target glucose ranges.

Only about 10 cases of hypoparathyroidism related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been reported, according to researchers who recently described such a case.

A new report finds inflammation scores can predict outcomes among patients receiving immunotherapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).

However, the researchers said their findings should not be interpreted as completely refuting the possibility that hydroxychloroquine might be a useful tool in preventing or slowing the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Risk for individual hepatobiliary cancers varies from comorbidity to comorbidity, researchers found.

The study found that combined therapeutic strategies may help lower the risk.
