A new article outlining the experience of a patient with a history of multiple myeloma (MM) who contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) shows the interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor tocilizumab was an effective therapy.

A range of new research is helping scientists better understand psoriasis while also raising new questions. One approach is looking at how the gut microbiome affects the disease.

Patients with lymphoma have better odds of survival now than they did 20 years ago, according to new research. The data also help explain which types of cancer continue to be the most challenging.

A number of advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of the genetics of psoriatic diseases and psoriatic arthritis specifically. However, those advances have yet to translate into clinically meaningful insights.

A new study based on treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in mostly community settings challenges earlier findings about the superiority of a common therapeutic approach and also makes a strong case for ibrutinib.

As more patients with heart disease live longer, physicians need better tools to assess frailty in those with heart failure. New study results suggest a multidimensional assessment approach is preferable to one that focuses only on physical metrics.

Investigators trying to find a way to stop antigen loss following CD19 CAR T cell therapy found an approach simultaneously targeting CD19 and CD22 is safe and feasible.

The study, with a small sample size, said most patients who take infliximab for more than 6 years report continued efficacy.

New research evaluates bortezomib and carfilzomib in an attempt to understand the causes of neurotoxicity in the former. They found the mitochondrial pathway is likely not the problem.

A new study shows patients with a history of lymphoma benefit from early detection of lung cancer, and are often good candidates for resection surgery.

Patients with certain inflammatory and senescence markers appeared to progress more quickly in their Parkinson disease, according to new research.

Patients with high-risk multiple myeloma tend to have significantly worse prognoses compared to those in the standard-risk category. A new study offers a potential solution.

A major study of patients with osteosarcoma suggests new pathogenic and likely pathogenic germline variants associated with the bone cancer.

Investigators used virtual reality to better understand the particular vision difficulties of patients with glaucoma.

Ibrutinib has been successful at fighting chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but new research finds interruptions in treatment with the drug can have a negative impact on patient outcomes.

A new study compares synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) to other techniques for measuring myelin volume fraction in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The data indicate the technique is effective.

Newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who are transplant-ineligible sometimes plan fixed-duration therapy to improve their quality of life. A new study examines the impact of that approach.

A new study lends depth to the understanding of endogenous Candida endophthalmitis by comparing imagery from optical coherence tomography both before and after treatment.

A new review article highlights the remaining challenge to making a meaningful immunotherapy to combat acute myeloid lymphoma (AML).

Research has suggested patients with psoriasis are at a higher risk of hypertension, but a recent meta-analysis aimed to prove the case by looking at tens of thousands of cases.

Patients with relapsing/remitting chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have a range of new therapeutic options. A new study is the first to directly compare 2 of the more prominent new therapies.

A new review article shows scientific studies have consistently identified links between sleep problems and health outcomes in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite the apparent links, there are no screening recommendations related to sleep in patients with the disease.

A new study suggests patients whose systolic blood pressure varies significantly over time might be at greater risk of higher multiple sclerosis disability.

Drug developers have made significant strides in understanding narcolepsy in recent years. Now, those advances are translating into a robust pipeline of potential new therapies.

In a major study of a Chinese medical insurance database, investigators found the prevalence and incidence of the disease in China is similar to those of its neighbors, but lower than countries in the West.

Though rare, patients with both autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHIA) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma face stark odds of long-term survival. A new study lends insights into how to best diagnose and treat those patients.

It can be difficult to notice when a patient is transitioning from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to the secondary progressive form. Soon, neurologists may be able to use a digital tool to catch it.

There’s significant evidence that some patients with far-advanced glaucoma are able to perform more tasks than others. Yet, it’s difficult to distinguish these patients from each other. A new study proposes a way to find out.

There’s not much research available comparing the Paleolithic diet to other popular nutritional plans. A new study sought to scour existing data to see the Paleolithic diet’s effect on glucose and insulin regulation. The data showed no significant impact.

Patients undergoing immunotherapy could be at risk for psoriasis flare-ups, even if the patient is asymptomatic at the initiation of cancer treatment. A newly published case report outlines a rare case where immunotherapy had to be stopped due to severe skin lesions.
