High levels of efficacy were demonstrated in randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of guselkumab; however, real-life data are lacking. In this retrospective cohort study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in a cohort of psoriasis patients heavily pretreated with biologic agents. Primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving ≥psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) 90 response at week 24. The cohort included 33 patients of mean age 60 ± 13 years. Guselkumab was initiated after a mean of 4.0 ± 1.0 prior biologics failed over a mean period of 7. 4 ± 3.8 years. The mean duration of guselkumab treatment was 9.5 ± 3.7 months; 29 patients completed at least 24 weeks of treatment. At week 24, 22 patients (76%) achieved response of PASI 75 or higher, 18 (62%) achieved PASI 90 or higher, five (17%) PASI 100, and seven (24%) ≤PASI 50. No adverse effects were observed. This study confirms the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in real-world clinical practice, although for a lesser degree compared with clinical trials.

Undergraduate Students' Onlooker Response Prior to Arrival of Emergency Medical Services: An Assessment of Willingness to Respond.
Disaster Med Public Health Prep
January 2025
Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objectives: This study sought to assess undergraduate students' knowledge and attitudes surrounding perceived self-efficacy and threats in various common emergencies in communities of higher education.
Methods: Self-reported perceptions of knowledge and skills, as well as attitudes and beliefs regarding education and training, obligation to respond, safety, psychological readiness, efficacy, personal preparedness, and willingness to respond were investigated through 3 representative scenarios via a web-based survey.
Results: Among 970 respondents, approximately 60% reported their university had adequately prepared them for various emergencies while 84% reported the university should provide such training.
Efficacy and safety of first-line sintilimab plus anlotinib versus chemotherapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer: a phase II, open-label, randomized controlled trial.
Cancer Commun (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Chest Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, P. R. China.
Background: The prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with standard platinum-based chemotherapy was suboptimal, with safety concerns. Following encouraging results from a preliminary phase I study, this phase II trial investigated the efficacy and safety of first-line sintilimab and anlotinib in metastatic NSCLC.
Methods: In this open-label, randomized controlled trial (NCT04124731), metastatic NSCLC without epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), or proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS (ROS1) mutations, and previous treatments for metastatic disease were enrolled.
Safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a retrospective cohort study.

January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongda Hospital Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Background: The aim of this study was to verify the safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection (ER) for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
Methods: Among a consecutive series of resections for gastric GISTs performed in a single center, the outcomes of patients who had ER were compared to standard surgical resection (SR).
Results: In the cohort, 329 consecutive primary localized gastric GISTs patients (, ER/SR = 251/78) were enrolled.
Impact of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet on metabolic and microbiota outcomes in post-bariatric patients and bariatric-Naïve individuals: A comparative pilot study.
Diabetes Obes Metab
January 2025
Section of Medical Pathophysiology, Food Science and Endocrinology, Department of Experimental Medicine, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.
Aims: To date, bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective long-term treatment for obesity, but weight regain (WR) is common. The very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) is effective for weight loss and may influence gut microbiota (GM) composition, but it has been scarcely evaluated in post-bariatric patients. This study compared the efficacy and safety of a VLCKD in patients with WR post-bariatric surgery (BS+) and in bariatric surgery-naïve patients (BS-).

The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDP) in improving cardiac function among patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AAMI). Between February 2021 and February 2023, 247 eligible patients with AAMI after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) were enrolled and randomly assigned (1∶1) to receive CDDP ( = 126) or placebo ( = 121), with a follow-up of 48 weeks. Compared with the placebo group, the CDDP group demonstrated a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values after 24 weeks of the treatment (least squares mean: 3.
