Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the principles of immunotherapy and its potential applications in treating cancer in dogs, with a focus on how these treatments can also benefit humans.
- Given the increasing longevity of pet dogs, cancer has become a primary cause of death in older dogs, which presents a unique opportunity for comparative oncology studies.
- By studying naturally occurring cancers in dogs, researchers can advance immunotherapeutic strategies that may transform cancer treatment for both dogs and humans.
Background: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on cognitive performances of patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) after clozapine treatment and to examine the potential effect of follow-up duration and clozapine dosage.
Methods: Five electronic databases were searched and studies were included if treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients were treated with clozapine and with baseline and follow-up cognitive functions assessments. Cognitive measures were categorised into six domains based on DSM-5-TR.
Admission to hospital provides an opportunity to optimize long-term diabetes management, but clinical inertia is common. We previously reported the randomized study of a proactive inpatient diabetes service (RAPIDS), investigating an early intervention model of care and demonstrated improved in-hospital glycemia and clinical outcomes. This follow-up study assessed whether proactive care in hospital improved postdischarge HbA1c.

Objectives: This review examines the effectiveness of clozapine as an intervention for tardive dyskinesia and dystonia in patients with all psychiatric conditions. Effectiveness of clozapine, duration to exert the effect and dosage used were also analysed.
