Objectives: To evaluate whether between hypertension and type 2 diabetes (T2D)-established drivers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression-one might be more strongly associated with CKD progression than the other.
Design: Cohort study using a primary care database (electronic health records).
Setting: Primary care in Catalonia, Spain.
Participants: 438 273 patients with CKD identified from the Information System for Research in Primary Care database in Catalonia (2007-2017) and stratified into four mutually exclusive groups based on the presence/absence of hypertension and/or T2D. Distribution of the CKD study cohort was as follows: CKD with hypertension (51.1%), CKD with T2D (3.9%), CKD with hypertension and T2D (32.8%), CKD without hypertension and T2D (12.2%).
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: Patients were followed up to identify the occurrence of severe kidney impairment (SKI) and kidney failure (kidney replacement therapy/estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 mL/min/1.73 m). Subdistributional hazard ratios (sHRs) were estimated using Cox regression adjusted for confounders.
Results: Compared with the CKD without hypertension and T2D group, adjusted sHRs (95% CIs) for SKI/kidney failure were 1.77 (1.65 to 1.89) for CKD with hypertension and T2D, 1.50 (1.41 to 1.59) for CKD with hypertension and 1.21 (1.09 to 1.34) for CKD with T2D, and for kidney failure were 1.24 (1.10 to 1.39) for CKD with hypertension, 0.74 (0.61 to 0.90) for CKD with T2D and 1.09 (0.96 to 1.24) for CKD with hypertension and T2D. The strongest risk factors for CKD progression were low eGFR and albuminuria, even at mild-moderate levels.
Conclusions: Hypertension could be associated with an equal/greater risk of CKD progression as T2D. Efforts to slow CKD progression should target both patients with hypertension and T2D, focusing on the identification, close monitoring and effective management of albuminuria and reduced eGFR.

Importance: During buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), risk factors for opioid relapse or treatment dropout include comorbid substance use disorder, anxiety, or residual opioid craving. There is a need for a well-powered trial to evaluate virtually delivered groups, including both mindfulness and evidence-based approaches, to address these comorbidities during buprenorphine treatment.
Objective: To compare the effects of the Mindful Recovery Opioid Use Disorder Care Continuum (M-ROCC) vs active control among adults receiving buprenorphine for OUD.

Importance: Timely access to care is a key metric for health care systems and is particularly important in conditions that acutely worsen with delays in care, including surgical emergencies. However, the association between travel time to emergency care and risk for complex presentation is poorly understood.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of travel time on disease complexity at presentation among people with emergency general surgery conditions and to evaluate whether travel time was associated with clinical outcomes and measures of increased health resource utilization.

Purpose: Mesothelin (MSLN) is highly expressed in high grade serous/ endometrioid ovarian cancers (HGOC). Anetumab ravtansine (AR) is an antibody drug conjugate directed at MSLN antigen with a tubulin polymerization inhibitor. We assessed safety, activity and pharmacokinetics of the combination AR/bevacizumab (Bev) (ARB) versus weekly paclitaxel (wP)/Bev (PB) in patients with platinum resistant/refractory HGOC (prrHGOC).

Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.
Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.

Importance: Trials have not demonstrated superiority of alteplase or tenecteplase vs standard care in patients with mild stroke and have raised safety concerns. Prourokinase is an alternative fibrinolytic that may have a favorable safety profile, and the benefit-risk profile of prourokinase in mild stroke is unknown.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of prourokinase in mild ischemic stroke within 4.
