Published: October 2024

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex, chronic disease with multiple negative impacts to patients' health, lives, and overall well-being. The lived experience of AD is multidimensional, heterogeneous, and ever-changing, yet an essential contributor to a holistic understanding of disease burden. Real-world self-monitoring of disease burden by patients has potential as a valuable adjunct to clinical and patient-reported assessments in health care settings. Newer digital tools are available to support these activities, providing opportunity for patients and health care providers to identify aspects of self-monitoring that can best support AD care and management goals, treatment outcomes, and minimize patient burden.

Identification of serum tRNA-derived small RNAs biosignature for diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Emerg Microbes Infect

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Jiangxi Province for Transfusion Medicine, Department of Blood Transfusion, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China.

The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a new class of non coding RNAs, which are stable in body fluids and can be used as potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis. However, the exact value of tsRNAs in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is still unclear. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of the serum tsRNAs biosignature to distinguish between active TB, healthy controls, latent TB infection, and other respiratory diseases.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the optimal regimen for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (dmNPC). Locoregional intensity modulated radiotherapy (LRRT) following palliative chemotherapy (PCT) has been shown to prolong the overall survival (OS) and improve the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with dmNPC, compared with PCT alone. However, patients with a high tumor burden do not benefit from additional LRRT, which inevitably results in toxicity.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common dermatological condition, is often associated with significant economic and social burdens. Despite extensive studies globally, there is a gap in understanding the impact of this condition in Romania. This study evaluated the economic burden of AD in Romania, considering both direct and indirect costs.

Introduction: Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) are indolent tumors that lack invasive potential but may present as pseudomyxoma peritonei. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) significantly improves both overall and recurrence free survival. While systemic chemotherapy is generally considered ineffective for LAMN, little literature is available to support this notion.
