To describe the incidence of safety events after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) initiation for advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer. Retrospective cohort study using the HealthCore Integrated Research Database in the USA to examine the incidence of prespecified safety events of interest after ICI initiation (n = 5278). The most common safety events after ICI initiation included malaise/fatigue (incidence rate [IR]: 70.7 per 100 person-years; 95% CI: 66.5-75.1) and nausea/vomiting (IR: 32.4; 30.0-34.8). Other potential immune-mediated events, including colitis (IR: 7.11; 6.26-8.04) and pneumonitis (IR: 5.47; 4.76-6.25), were less frequent but higher than after any systemic anti-cancer therapy. No safety event rate substantially increased 6 months after ICI initiation. This large real-world study reports the incidence of safety events with ICI regimens for advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.

Standardized quality (SQ) house-dust mite (HDM) sublingual immunotherapy tablets (10,000 Japanese allergy units [JAU], equivalent to 6 SQ-HDM in Europe and the United States) are licensed for the treatment of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) without age restriction, based on 52-week administration clinical trials. There are no large-scale data on the administration of 10,000 JAU for > 1 year in actual clinical practice. To examine the safety and effectiveness of 10,000 JAU during use for up to 3 years at real-world clinical sites in Japan.

Background: Global climate change significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly through temperature fluctuations that affect insect physiology and behavior. As poikilotherms, insect pests such as the globally devastating diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures and extreme heat events, necessitating effective adaptive mechanisms.
Results: Here we demonstrate the roles of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) in mediating thermal adaptability in DBM.
Combination of Compound Kushen injection with first-line treatment versus first-line treatment alone for advanced colorectal cancer: a study protocol for a multicenter, openlabel, randomized controlled trial.

Oncology Department, Guang'anmen Hospital, China, Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beixian Pavilion, No.5, Xicheng District, Beijing, China.
Background: The treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) has progressed slowly, with chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy being the first-line treatment for the disease, but the improvement in efficacy is not satisfactory. Compound Kushen injection (CKI) is one of the representative drugs of anti-cancer Chinese herbal injection drugs, which has been widely used in the adjunct treatment of cancer in China. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CKI combined with first-line treatment of advanced CRC.

Background: Therapeutic activity after stroke is a component of early recovery strategies. Interactive video games have been shown to be safe as an adjunct rehabilitation therapy in the medical intensive care setting, but patients with neurologic disease were often excluded from those protocols.
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of individualized interactive video game therapy in critically ill neurologic patients.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of death globally. Despite WHO recommendations for TB preventive therapy (TPT), challenges persist, including incompletion of treatment and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). There is limited data on the 3-month isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics and their relation with ADRs.
