The development of new first-line treatments for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) is becoming increasingly challenging due to already excellent survival outcomes. The present study investigated the outcomes of patients with FL who underwent contemporary first-line therapies but would not have been eligible for inclusion in recent trials and explored how commonly used in/exclusion criteria impacted their survival outcomes. This study included adult patients diagnosed with FL in the period 2000-2018 registered in the Danish Lymphoma Registry.

Background: Drugs targeting Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology are likely to be most effective in the presymptomatic stage, where individuals harbor AD pathology but have not manifested symptoms. Neuroimaging approaches can help to identify such individuals, but are costly for population-wide screening. Cost-effective screening is needed to identify those who may benefit from neuroimaging, such as those at risk of developing clinical disease.

Background: The extracellular deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and intracellular aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins stand as histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The spatial-temporal relationship between the Aβ pathway and tau pathophysiology in AD, plays a crucial role in comprehending the pathogenesis and progression of AD. Understanding the interrelationship between Aβ and tau, is crucial to elucidate the failure of previous therapeutic strategies and understanding AD progression and will inform the next generation of clinical trials.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute, University of Southern California, San Diego, CA, USA.

Background: Most hospice-eligible patients with dementia report agitation with antipsychotics and antidepressants with major side effects predominantly used in this population to control symptoms. Little is known about current evidence on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on reducing agitation in this population.

Objectives: We aimed to summarize and evaluate the existing literature on RCTs aimed at reducing agitation among hospice-eligible patients with dementia.

Objective: To compare outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with pure aortic stenosis (Pure AS) and those with pure aortic regurgitation (Pure AR) or mixed AS and AR (MAVD) in the COMMENCE trial.

Methods: Of 689 patients who underwent AVR in the COMMENCE trial, patients with moderate or severe AR with or without AS (Pure AR + MAVD; n = 135) or Pure AS (n = 323) were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used for time-to-event endpoints, and longitudinal changes in hemodynamics were evaluated using mixed-effects models.
