Background: Guselkumab is a drug used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. However, real-life clinical data on its off-label use are limited, especially regarding the optimal drug dosage regimen for different patient profiles.
Objective: The main objective of this real-world, single-centre, retrospective study was to identify the off-label guselkumab dosing regimen used in clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- Human monkeypox cases have risen globally since May 2022; the study explores the use of topical cidofovir as a treatment for skin lesions associated with the virus.
- A prospective study involved 12 patients treated with topical cidofovir 1%, resulting in faster lesion resolution compared to those receiving only symptomatic treatment.
- While cidofovir treatment significantly improved outcomes, local side effects were common, and the study's lack of a placebo-controlled arm limits its clinical validation.
Article Synopsis
- The 2022 monkeypox epidemic in non-endemic countries showed different epidemiological patterns compared to those previously reported in endemic areas, prompting a study to analyze clinical characteristics of confirmed cases.
- Data from 226 reported monkeypox cases across 71 sites in 29 countries highlighted that a vast majority (99%) of the affected individuals were gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men, with a median age of 37.
- Of the patients studied, 44% were HIV positive, with many having close contact or sexual history related to their monkeypox exposure, and 13% required hospitalization, with over half experiencing severe illness.
