A large randomized trial in the U.S. found no significant improvement in influenza vaccination rates with cardiovascular-focused messaging compared to usual care, despite prior positive findings in Denmark.
A recent trial assessing intravenous versus oral rehydration in children with severe acute malnutrition and gastroenteritis found no mortality difference at 96 hours, challenging fears of fluid overload and supporting cautious consideration
The INSPIRE 3 and 4 trials demonstrate that computerized provider order entry (CPOE) prompts with patient-specific MDRO risk estimates, combined with education and feedback, significantly reduce empiric extended-spectrum antibiotic use in s
A single dose of clesrovimab significantly reduces respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections and hospitalizations in healthy infants during their first RSV season, with a safety profile comparable to placebo.
The endTB-Q trial assessed the efficacy and safety of a shortened BDLC regimen versus WHO standard care in rifampicin-resistant and fluoroquinolone-resistant tuberculosis, finding BDLC non-inferior in mITT but overall not non-inferior, high
Approximately 280,000 Americans are infected with Chagas disease, transmitted by kissing bugs. This article explores the ecology, health risks, detection, and prevention of this often-overlooked disease.
Switching from nucleo(s)tide analogues to pegylated interferon alpha-2a significantly lowers virological relapse and boosts HBsAg clearance in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients after treatment cessation.
The B-Together phase IIb study demonstrates that sequential therapy with bepirovirsen followed by pegylated interferon-α-2a reduces post-treatment relapse in chronic hepatitis B patients on stable nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy, with enhanc
A comprehensive analysis from the TBTC Study 31/ACTG A5349 reveals that flat dosing of pyrazinamide at 1,000 mg daily optimizes efficacy and safety, challenging current weight-banded dosing strategies for drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
The DETECT Hep C trial demonstrates nontargeted HCV screening in emergency departments identifies more new infections than risk-based approaches, though linkage to care remains suboptimal, underscoring the need for innovative treatment mode
A randomized clinical trial in South Australian long-term care facilities found germicidal UV light appliances did not significantly reduce acute respiratory infection rates per cycle but modestly lowered total infections over time, suggest
A recent multicenter trial demonstrates that a single dose of benzathine penicillin G is noninferior to three doses in treating early syphilis, including patients with HIV, simplifying management and reducing adverse effects.
This longitudinal single-cell multiomics study delineates the evolving immune landscape in HBV-ACLF, identifying key immune cell subsets and signaling pathways that drive disease progression and highlight potential therapeutic targets for p
SCG101, an HBV-specific T-cell receptor T-cell therapy, demonstrates significant antiviral and antitumour efficacy with a manageable safety profile in patients with advanced HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma refractory to prior treatment
This phase 2 trial demonstrates that azelastine nasal spray reduces SARS-CoV-2 infections and symptomatic respiratory illnesses in a healthy, vaccinated adult population, suggesting its potential as a safe, scalable prophylactic measure aga
A large multicenter study demonstrates that a single dose of RSV vaccine reduces hospitalization risk by 58% among adults aged 60+, with lower effectiveness in immunocompromised and cardiovascular patients.
A recent study shows that over 80% of patients allergic to amoxicillin tolerate piperacillin-tazobactam, though about 18% experience cross-reactivity, highlighting the need for careful allergy testing before use.
A multicountry study across Asia demonstrates soluble TREM1’s superior accuracy over traditional clinical signs in predicting severe febrile illness in children, potentially transforming triage in resource-limited settings.
Long COVID patients exhibit distinct mitochondrial bioenergetic impairments, with altered ATP synthase function correlating with clinical symptoms and quality of life, implicating mitochondrial dysfunction in its pathogenesis.
A 25-year-old woman with recurrent urinary tract infections was diagnosed with unilateral renal agenesis, highlighting the importance of imaging in persistent urinary symptoms.
