The rates of 3 hypertensive disorders were compared among 2 groups of women: those who gave birth between 1995 and 1999 vs 2015 to 2019.

This study investigated combination treatment of antibiotics plus corticosteroids among persons with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).

This subanalysis of data from the ELDERCARE-AF trial investigated the safety and effectiveness of a 15-mg daily dose of the factor Xa inhibitor among older patients who have atrial fibrillation (AFib).

This retrospective chart review investigated outcomes among patients who are White or Black on a daratumumab regimen for multiple myeloma (MM).

Despite intranasal corticosteroid (INCs) being a treatment mainstay for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, there are ongoing high rates of nonadherence, which can affect treatment efficacy, according to this study’s authors.

Adult patients from dermatology clinics affiliated with 2 Midwest universities were evaluated for their ability to differentiate skin cancer by sight and for their skin cancer knowledge.

Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) is approved for use in adult and pediatric heart failure, and previous research shows it to be cost-effective in the long term.

Infants born between the 23rd and 25th weeks of pregnancy, classified as extremely low gestational age newborns, are surviving in increasing numbers, note study authors, and with that is growing clinical interest in their long-term sequelae, including pulmonary hypertension (PH).

This study investigated how an initial diagnosis influences delivery of second opinions concerning skin cancers, including the possibility of an incorrect diagnosis.

The usefulness of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy was investigated among patients with melanoma and SLN metastases.

The REVEAL-HF study investigated using risk scores to improve patient outcomes through targeted interventions, including treatment initiation and intensity, end-of-life care, and hospitalization and mortality risks.

Gary Owens, MD, president of Gary Owens Associates, addresses how payers can improve outcomes for persons who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

In this case report, a 50-year-old female patient, with a family history of lung cancer, received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) following presentation with an apical lung mass.

Previous studies have produced heterogeneous results on next-generation flow (NGF)-based minimal residual disease (MRD) detection, despite improvements to the method’s reproducibility and sensitivity, prompting the present authors to investigate its clinical utility.

This new study evaluated outcomes following add-on dupilumab to treat severe uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
