Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) have revolutionized the treatment of B-cell lymphomas. However, safety issues related to the use of BTKis may hinder treatment continuity and further affect clinical efficacy. A comprehensive and systematic expert consensus from a pharmacological perspective is lacking for safety issues associated with BTKi treatment. A multidisciplinary consensus working group was established, comprising 35 members from the fields of hematology, cardiovascular disease, cardio-oncology, clinical pharmacy, and evidence-based medicine. This evidence-based expert consensus was formulated using an evidence-based approach and the Delphi method. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal (JBI) tool and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach were used to rate the quality of evidence and grade the strength of recommendations, respectively. This consensus provides practical recommendations for BTKis medication based on nine aspects within three domains, including the management of common adverse drug events such as bleeding, cardiovascular events, and hematological toxicity, as well as the management of drug-drug interactions and guidance for special populations. This multidisciplinary expert consensus could contribute to promoting a multi-dimensional, comprehensive and standardized management of BTKis.

Introduction: The emergence of high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (HE DMT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) may pose challenges to the administration and monitoring burden of the therapies. This article presents the results of the Delphi consensus method to generate insights from experts on the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMT in Saudi Arabia with a special focus on cladribine.
Methods: Between January and March 2023, a two-round modified Delphi method was used to establish consensus regarding the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMTs used for MS.

Introduction: Mental health problems are the most significant cause of disability and have high annual economic costs; hence, they are a priority for the government, service providers and policymakers. Consisting of largely coastal and rural communities, the populations of Norfolk and Suffolk, UK, have elevated burdens of mental health problems, areas with high levels of deprivation and an increasing migrant population. However, these communities are underserved by research and areas with the greatest mental health needs are not represented or engaged in research.

Introduction: Chronic nausea and vomiting are symptoms of a wide range of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal conditions. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires a systematic and well-structured approach. If the initial investigation for structural, toxic and metabolic disorders is negative, digestive motility and gut-brain interaction disorders should be assessed.

Background: Clinical decision making to develop an exercise program and then prescribe that program should be based on the best evidence available. However, little evidence exists to guide the development of an exercise program, determining optimal dosage parameters or for effective prescription techniques to achieve best patient outcomes possible.
Objective: To gain consensus from expert clinical physiotherapists in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation on key recommendations for developing and prescribing effective exercise programs in musculoskeletal rehabilitation in a one-on-one setting.

Purpose Of The Review: This narrative review aims to provide an overview of recently completed randomized trials and expert consensus recommendations, and their implications for clinical practice and future trial design in patients with de-novo esophagogastric oligometastatic disease (OMD).
Recent Findings: The IKF-575/RENAISSANCE phase III trial showed no significant overall survival difference between systemic therapy alone and systemic therapy combined with local therapy for patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer and de-novo OMD, except for patients with retroperitoneal lymph node metastases only. The ESO-Shanghai 13 phase II trial demonstrated superiority of adding local therapy to systemic therapy for progression-free and overall survival in oligometastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
