Long-term outcomes after endoscopic eradication therapy for dysplastic and T1a adenocarcinoma related Barrett's esophagus: higher rate of late dysplastic recurrence with radio-frequency ablation monotherapy.
Gastrointest Endosc
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia; University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: There is conflicting literature describing the durability of complete remission of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) after endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) for Barrett's esophagus (BE). We aim to assess the timeline, predictors and long-term outcomes of recurrence.
Methods: Data on 365 patients who underwent EET for dysplastic BE were collected prospectively between 2008 and 2022 at a Barrett's referral unit.
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy in melanoma: pathological response as a surrogate endpoint?
Curr Opin Oncol
December 2024
Université Libre de Bruxelles, Hôpital Universitaire de Bruxelles, Instiut Jules Bordet, Departement of Medical Oncology.
Purpose Of Review: This review evaluates by analyzing recent studies whether pathological complete response (pCR) can be used as a reliable surrogate marker for overall survival (OS) in melanoma treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
Recent Findings: Trials like Neo-Combi, Neo-Trio and COMBI-Neo show that pCR is crucial for long-term success in targeted therapy for melanoma, while studies like OpACIN-neo and SWOG S1801 demonstrate that immunotherapy can provide durable benefits even with partial responses. Findings from NADINA and the INMC analysis highlight that immunotherapy achieves higher pathologic response rates and improved survival outcomes, offering broader benefits compared to the pCR-dependent outcomes of targeted therapy.
Short and long-term outcome of levamisole in early versus late steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome: A single centre experience.
Pak J Med Sci
January 2025
Khemchand N Moorani, MBBS, MCPS, FCPS, IPNA Pediatr Nephrol fellowship Professor, Department of Pediatric Nephrology, The Kidney Centre Post Graduate Training Institute, Karachi. 197/9, Rafiqui Shaheed Road, Karachi-75530, Pakistan.
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of Levamisole (Leva) in maintaining short-term and long-term remission in early steroid responders (ESRs) and late steroid responders (LSRs).
Methods: This retrospective study on 106 cohorts, aged 2-14 years with frequent-relapsing (FR) and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) who received Leva over 10-years (2012-2023), was carried out at tertiary care centre, Karachi from January-August 2023. Patients were categorized based on steroid response during first episode of NS as ESRs if complete remission (CR) was achieved within two weeks of daily steroid and LSRs if CR achieved between two-four weeks.
Dual Biologic Therapy Induces Remission in Refractory Crohn's Disease With Vedolizumab and Ustekinumab.
Crohns Colitis 360
January 2025
Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, Department of Medicine, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY, USA.
Background: Despite advancements in the therapeutic armamentarium for Crohn's disease (CD), biologic and small molecule monotherapies are associated with sub-optimal response and remission rates. Utilizing dual biologic therapy (DBT) holds the potential to increase efficacy in the treatment of refractory or partially responsive CD. Evidence pertaining to this strategy remains limited.
