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...

Phytate and L-methionine for preventing recurrence of infection renal stones

BACKGROUND: Urine acidification and inhibition of crystallization are strategies that can be employed to prevent recurrent infection stones and calcium phosphate stones. METHODS: A series of cases demonstrating the beneficial effects of treatment with phytate and L-methionine in...

Three clinical and immunological phenotypes of systemic lupus erythematosus onset identified through clustering analysis: data from the RELES registry

Abstract Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) shows heterogeneous clinical expression at onset, complicating early characterisation and risk assessment. We aimed to identify SLE phenotypes emerging after diagnosis and assess their clinical relevance. Methods We analysed...

VerifyNow in acute coronary syndrome: design of the EPIC17-VERONICA trial to optimize platelet inhibition.

Introduction and objectives: De-escalation from prasugrel and ticagrelor to clopidogrel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a strategy aimed at reducing bleeding. This study evaluates whether VerifyNow (Werfen, Spain)-g...

From Trials to Treatment: Current Evidence Supporting Faricimab Use in nAMD and DME

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are leading causes of visual impairment and require long-term intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. However, treatment burden and suboptimal real-world outcomes rem...

Sex differences in epidemiology and clinical presentation of glomerular diseases in a nationwide Spanish biopsy registry

Sex differences influence the epidemiology and clinical expression of kidney diseases. Most primary glomerulonephritis shows male predominance, whereas lupus nephritis remains strongly female-biased. Large national cohorts with sex-stratified analyses are limited. We analysed all...
