Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a gut-brain axis disorder characterized by postprandial fullness, early satiety, bloating and/or epigastric pain, which are presumed to originate in the gastroduodenal tract. While the international recommendations in the Rome IV consensus require endoscopy to rule out an organic condition before establishing a diagnosis of FD, international guidelines recommend that, in the absence of risk factors, patient management be initiated at the primary care level by establishing Helicobacter pylori infection status, with eradication when positive, followed by empiric therapy with proton pump inhibitors and/or prokinetics, and that endoscopy be reserved for patients refractory to said measures. Second-line therapy includes neuromodulating agents, among which tricyclic antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics such as levosulpiride stand out.

Introduction: Advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and an unmet need for biomarkers. We performed a retrospective evaluation of real-world efficacy, safety outcomes, and baseline inflammatory biomarkers in patients with advanced pSCC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with advanced pSCC who received ICIs from 2012 to 2023 at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

Department of Nephrology, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) in children, commonly treated with steroids, poses challenges due to associated side effects. Rituximab, known for its efficacy in reducing relapse frequency in difficult-to-treat cases, emerges a potential first-line therapy for pediatric new-onset INS.
Method: This is a single-center, retrospective, observational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab as a first-line therapy for pediatric INS.

Real World Research, Ontada, Boston, MA, USA.
Aims: To investigate real-world treatment patterns and outcomes among patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who initiated first-line palbociclib-fulvestrant.
Patients & Methods: Retrospective observational study of iKnowMed electronic health records among patients who initiated first-line palbociclib-fulvestrant between 1 February 2016 and 31 December 2019 and were followed through 30 June 2020. Demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics were evaluated descriptively.
Prevalence of medical conditions or comorbidities influencing first-line therapy in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States.

Cardinal Health, Dublin, OH, USA.
Introduction: Given treatment landscape changes, understanding the prevalence of medical conditions/comorbidities influencing real-world unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) treatment decisions is key for improving outcomes.
Patients And Methods: In a retrospective chart review, physicians abstracted data from uHCC patients initiating first-line treatment (1L) between June 2020 and April 2022. Frequencies of medical conditions/comorbidities at 1L initiation were reported.
