The SECRETO study demonstrates that infections within the preceding week increase the odds of cryptogenic ischemic stroke by 2.6-fold in young adults, primarily driven by transient increases in von Willebrand Factor and Factor VIII levels.
This nationwide retrospective study in France highlights the rare but severe incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Allo-HSCT recipients, identifying birth in high-prevalence countries as a primary risk factor and emphasizing the need for target
A randomized clinical trial indicates that neither metformin nor ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) significantly improves recovery from postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) compared to placebo, highlighting the ongoing challenge of finding eff
Preclinical studies demonstrate that the nucleotide analogue bemnifosbuvir effectively suppresses Hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication, showing synergistic potential with ribavirin and a high genetic barrier to resistance.
A comprehensive meta-analysis of 121.8 million individuals confirms that RSV vaccines are approximately 75% effective against hospitalization and severe disease in older adults, despite low global uptake and a rare risk of Guillain-Barré sy
This review synthesizes findings from the CLEAN-IT trial and historical data to evaluate the impact of chlorhexidine bathing on nosocomial infections, MDR pathogens, and reserve antibiotic consumption in critically ill patients.
A large-scale trial in Brazilian ICUs found that daily chlorhexidine bathing did not lower overall nosocomial infection rates but significantly reduced multi-drug resistant pathogen isolation and the use of high-priority reserve antibiotics
This 24-month Belgian cohort study demonstrates that natural MPXV infection induces more durable and robust immunity than MVA-BN vaccination. While clinical symptoms mostly resolve within a year, persistent scarring remains common, and vacc
A randomized, double-blind trial in Kenya and Uganda reveals that a 500 IU fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine is not non-inferior to the standard dose in infants, suggesting that lower dose requirements in adults are not generalizable
The PLATCOV trial identifies ensitrelvir as a highly effective oral antiviral, achieving rapid SARS-CoV-2 clearance comparable to ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir. This phase 2 adaptive trial suggests ensitrelvir is a viable alternative for o
This Phase 1 trial demonstrates that ALG-000184, a novel Class-E capsid assembly modulator, significantly reduces HBV DNA and RNA levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B, maintaining a favorable safety profile and supporting its potenti
This review synthesizes the Phase 1 trial findings of ALG-000184, a novel capsid assembly modulator, demonstrating significant multi-log reductions in HBV DNA and RNA with a favorable safety profile in chronic HBV patients.
A large-scale cluster-randomized trial in Singapore demonstrates that releasing male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with the wAlbB Wolbachia strain significantly suppresses wild-type populations and reduces the incidence of symptomatic d
Researchers have identified that a specific somatic hypermutation (K31E) in the IGLV3-21*02/03 allele triggers VITT by causing antibodies intended for adenoviral protein pVII to cross-react with Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), explaining the patho
The LATITUDE trial reveals that monthly injectable cabotegravir-rilpivirine significantly reduces treatment failure compared to standard oral ART in individuals with HIV who struggle with daily medication adherence, potentially reshaping cl
A 2-year prospective cohort study reveals that physiological recovery, measured via smartwatches, significantly lags behind self-reported symptom resolution, particularly in moderate-to-severe COVID-19 cases, suggesting a need for revised p
The IMPROVE trial demonstrates that starting a one-month isoniazid-rifapentine (1HP) course during hospitalization for cryptococcal meningitis is as safe and effective as outpatient initiation, potentially increasing treatment completion ra
Phase 3 trial results demonstrate that a daily fixed-dose combination of doravirine and islatravir effectively maintains virological suppression in adults with HIV-1, offering a comparable and safe alternative to standard integrase inhibito
A large-scale multicohort study reveals that adult obesity significantly increases the risk of hospitalization and death across nearly 1,000 infectious diseases, accounting for approximately one in ten infection-related deaths globally.
A phase 4 RCT in Brazil confirms that the recombinant zoster vaccine does not increase the risk of disease flares in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases compared to placebo, maintaining a favorable safety profile even under immunosu
