A series of portable respiratory function tests for patients with mild to moderate myasthenia gravis (MG) were found to be useful methods to diagnose previously unidentified at-risk cases for respiratory deterioration.

Patients with hypertension-related chronic kidney disease who increased daily fruit and vegetable consumption showed improved cardiovascular health and reduced blood pressure compared with participants who added baking soda to their diet or who received pharmacological-only treatment.

An exon-skipping technique using dual single-guide RNA/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins targeted at 3 novel COL7A1 exons with pathogenic heterozygous mutations achieved exon deletion rates of up to 95%.

Post–hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) prophylaxis using cyclophosphamide to stave off graft-vs-host disease had positive results compared with calcineurin inhibitor–based prophylaxis, regardless of whether the patient had a matched or unmatched donor.

The hospitalization rate for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) doubled over a 2-year period, and total health care costs more than doubled over the same period.

Liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351) was effective in relapsed acute myeloid leukemia, but long-term follow-up is needed to determine the extent of the agent's cardiotoxicity.

Pirtobrutinib led to improved outcomes compared with venetoclax in patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) following covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

A post-hoc analysis showed that zanubrutinib resulted in fewer adverse events compared with ibrutinib.

This meta-analysis study will estimate the global and regional burden of HIV-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma to aid the development of prevention and control strategies.

Patients with myasthenia gravis who received treatment within a year from diagnosis were generally in accordance with guideline suggestions.

More than 60% of complement inhibitor–naive patients with acetylcholine receptor–positive generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) in diverse clinical populations had a clinically meaningful reduction in MG activities of daily living scores.
