Article Synopsis
- Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by GLA gene mutations leading to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems and kidney failure, making long-term clinical monitoring challenging.
- The study aimed to explore the connection between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) with long-term clinical outcomes in individuals with Fabry disease.
- A review of eight studies revealed that both eGFR and LVMI are significant predictors of important clinical events in Fabry disease, showing consistent results across different patient treatments.

Article Synopsis
- In the UK, biologic treatments for plaque psoriasis can be given in hospitals or at home, but research on the cost differences between these methods is limited.
- A model was created to compare the total costs of administering these treatments over two years, revealing significant cost variations based on the intervention and administration route.
- Findings suggest that home delivery is often cheaper, with potential savings for the NHS, emphasizing the need to consider administration costs when choosing psoriasis treatments.
