Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and impact of comorbidities in adults with severe asthma, as their presence can complicate asthma management practices.* -
- Data was analyzed from the International Severe Asthma Registry, identifying 30 comorbidities linked to asthma, with findings indicating a significant percentage of patients experience multiple comorbidities that affect their asthma outcomes.* -
- Results showed that patients with specific comorbidities like allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis had higher rates of asthma exacerbations and were more likely to require long-term oral corticosteroids, highlighting the need for effective management strategies.*
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs using fecal immunochemical test (FIT) have to choose a cut-off value to decide which citizens to recall for colonoscopy. The evidence on the optimal cut-off value is sparse and based on studies with a low number of cancer cases.
Methods: This observational study used data from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Screening Database.
Cetuximab plus irinotecan administered biweekly with reduced infusion time to heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and related RAS and BRAF mutation status.

Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is treated with cetuximab 250 mg/m administered weekly over 1 hour or biweekly (q2w) over 3.5 hours when combined with irinotecan. This prospective study investigated cetuximab 500 mg/m plus irinotecan 180 mg/m administered q2w over 1.

We assessed the prognostic value of IL6 and YKL-40 compared with CA19-9 before and during palliative chemotherapy. We also investigated in mice whether IL6R inhibition in combination with gemcitabine could prolong chemosensitivity.

From a Danish national cohort, we identified 119 mCRC patients treated with irinotecan containing therapy in first-line setting. Among these, 108 were eligible for analyses.
