Introduction: This study sought to describe treatment patterns, persistence, and effectiveness of upadacitinib (UPA) alone and compared to other Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: This retrospective, non-interventional study used the OPAL dataset, derived from electronic medical records. Patients initiated UPA (N = 2624), other JAKis (baricitinib and tofacitinib [N = 925]), or TNFis (adalimumab, etanercept, certolizumab, golimumab, infliximab [N = 3540]) between May 2020 and March 2023.

Controlled environment farming (CEF) systems, including tunnel houses, glasshouses, and vertical farms, are expanding worldwide. As the industry scales, growers need a broader range of crops that are adapted to CEF systems to take full advantage of the potential to increase yields and decrease weather-related risks. Dwarf grapevines (microvines) are ideal candidates for CEF due to their high economic value, phenotype, and phenology.

Purpose: This study evaluates real-world outcomes, toxicities, and prescribing patterns of PARP inhibitors (PARPis) for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Patients And Methods: Electronic health records of 62 MBC patients treated with olaparib (n = 48) or talazoparib (n = 14) at Mayo Clinic System between 2017 and 2022 were analyzed. Time-to-treatment-failure (TTF) was assessed utilizing the Kaplan-Meier method.

Article Synopsis
  • ADCs in Cancer Therapy
  • : Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), like ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), are a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment, specifically for HER2-positive breast cancer, allowing targeted delivery of drugs to tumor cells while sparing normal tissue, but they can cause severe toxicity requiring monitoring.
  • Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) Cases
  • : A case series of four patients who received T-DM1 revealed they developed hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), which involves severe respiratory issues and is linked to long-term liver damage caused by the drug.
  • Need for Awareness
  • : The findings underscore the importance of recognizing
