Aim: Our study aimed at estimating differences in quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gain for patients with predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia treated with cariprazine compared with risperidone.
Materials & Methods: A Markov model was built, based on the Mohr-Lenert approach and data derived from clinical trials, to estimate potential QALY gains of patients.
Results: Patients had higher probability of reaching better health states treated with cariprazine compared with risperidone. In the model, this resulted in an estimated QALY gain of 0.029 per patient, after 1 year of treatment.
Conclusion: Cariprazine, which showed clinically meaningful improvement in the symptoms, and personal and social performance, can also provide significant QALY gain in the treatment of patients with predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia compared with risperidone.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), characterized by inflammation and immune dysregulation in the kidneys. The role of macrophage polarization in LN progression remains underexplored. This study examined the association between tubulointerstitial M1/M2 macrophage subpopulations and LN indices of activity and chronicity.

In approximately half of the recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) cases, the underlying cause is unknown. However, most unexplained miscarriages are thought to be linked to immune dysfunction. This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the immunological evaluations of patients with RSA, with potential implications for clinical research.
