Genomic and clinical landscape of RAS mutations in acute myeloid leukemia

RAS mutations are recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); yet, their genomic and clinical landscape remain poorly characterized. We analyzed centralized molecular profiling data in 8,553 patients with newly diagnosed AML. Of these, 1,775 (21%) harbored RAS mutations: NRAS in 1...

Association Between the GMI / HbA1c Ratio and Microvascular Complications in Type 1 Diabetes: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Objective To clarify whether the glucose management indicator (GMI)/glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ratio (GMI/HbA1c ratio) is an independent predictor of microvascular complications in Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Design and Methods Multicentre, cross‐sectional, observational st...

Expired endoscopic devices remain sterile and functional: an international multicentre study challenging current shelf-life criteria

Background and study aims Expired medical devices represent an environmental and economic concern, yet their magnitude and true shelf life remain poorly defined. We aimed to quantify the volume and cost of expired endoscopic devices and evaluate their sterility and functionality...

Effectiveness of interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-12/23 inhibitors and factors associated with response in psoriatic arthritis with axial involvement: the APxis-IL12-23 study

OBJECTIVES: To assess the real-world effectiveness of two interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitors [guselkumab (GUS), risankizumab (RIS)] and an IL-12/23 inhibitor [ustekinumab (UST)] in patients with purely axial psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or mixed PsA (both axial and peripheral involvemen...

Preferred practice patterns survey of secondary intraocular lens implantation in Spain

Purpose To determine preferred practice patterns for secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the absence of capsular support among Spanish ophthalmologists. Methods Cross-sectional study based on an anonymous online survey conducted in Spain. A 31-item questionnaire was...

Sex Differences in a Contemporary, Real-World Cohort of Patients with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Treated with Tafamidis

INTRODUCTION: Tafamidis improves outcomes in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) versus placebo. ATTR-CM has historically been considered a predominantly male disease, and women are underrepresented in prior studies. Sex-specific data in contemporary pati...

Effect of Aficamten on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients with Symptomatic Nonobstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: Aficamten significantly improved both functional capacity and patient-reported health status in patients with symptomatic nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled ACACIA-HCM trial (Assessment Comparing Aficamten to Place...

Aficamten for Symptomatic Nonobstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: Nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common condition that is associated with substantial morbidity and no proven medical therapy. Whether treatment with aficamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor, can benefit patients with this condition is unknown. METHO...

Trop-2 overexpression as a prognostic marker in early triple-negative breast cancer: results from the GEICAM_CIBOMA trial

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a key therapeutic target in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its prognostic significance in early-stage disease remains poorly defined. We evaluated Trop-2 expression and its clinical impact within a sub-cohort of...

Global Efficacy of Aficamten in Nonobstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Results From ACACIA-HCM

BACKGROUND: Nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM) is associated with significant morbidity with no approved treatment. Aficamten is a cardiac myosin inhibitor targeting excess contractility and diastolic impairment, the predominant mechanism responsible for adverse ou...

Remission-driven discontinuation shapes the observed duration of emicizumab in acquired hemophilia A. Comment on: “Short-term emicizumab in patients with acquired hemophilia A”

Not available.

Update on Perioperative Prevention of Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) increases short- and long-term mortality, progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD), and healthcare costs. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial—combining renal hypoperfusion, impaired oxygen delivery, hemodilution, inflammat...

Glycemic Patterns Assessed by Continuous Glucose Monitoring in People with Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Insulin Glargine 100 U/mL in Primary Care: The GPDetect Study

Hypoglycemia is a common complication in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with basal insulin, yet its true prevalence in real-world primary care remains underexplored. This study used blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to assess glycemic patterns in pa...

Variability in the Application and Principles of Prehabilitation and Enhanced Recovery (VAPPER Survey) Among Colorectal Surgery Units: A National Multicentre Survey

Background: Prehabilitation has become an essential component of perioperative care in colorectal surgery, aiming to improve postoperative outcomes through multimodal interventions. However, its real-world implementation remains heterogeneous. This study aimed to evaluate the deg...

Treatment-free remission after bosutinib discontinuation (BOSUTFR): results from a multicenter real-world study by the Spanish CML group

Treatment-free remission (TFR) is an established therapeutic goal for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) achieving sustained deep molecular response (DMR) on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, evidence on TFR following bosutinib discontinuation remains limited....

Genetic Testing After Heart Transplantation Uncovers Heritable Disease and Drives Family Screening

BACKGROUND: Genetic testing (GT) is established in ambulatory cardiomyopathy (CM), but its utility after heart transplantation (HTx) recipients remains poorly characterized. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of GT in adult HTx recipients with CM, focus...
