Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common, but there’s a lack of substantial data to help doctors choose the right rate control medications (RCM) for patients.
- Using a large nationwide database, researchers analyzed prescribing habits among 135,927 AF patients and found that beta blockers (BB) were the most frequently prescribed (44.6%), followed by calcium channel blockers (CCB) (14.0%) and digoxin (8.6%).
- The study noted differences in gender and medication type: BBs were more commonly prescribed to males, while CCBs were prescribed less frequently to males, and highlighted the need for further randomized trials to better determine the best RCM options.
Multiple myeloma is a blood cell cancer and can cause symptoms such as bone loss and fatigue. Recent studies have shown that the bone marrow microenvironment may mediate tumor proliferation, drug resistance, and migration of the multiple myeloma cells. Synthetic triterpenoids have been used for the treatment of cancer due to their antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects.
