Background: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often experience burdensome neuropsychiatric symptoms, including agitation which occurs in both home and long-term care (LTC) facilities, and is associated with substantial increases in caregiver burden and LTC placements. AXS-05 (45-mg dextromethorphan/105-mg bupropion), a novel, oral NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder, is being investigated for treatment of AD agitation (ADA). AXS-05 has been evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind studies: Phase 2 ADVANCE-1 (NCT03226522); Phase 3 ACCORD (NCT04797715).

Treatment with pegylated nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (folinic acid; 5-FU/LV) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in clinical trials. However, real-world data on the effectiveness of nal-IRI+5-FU/LV is heterogeneous and is lacking in Spain. To assess the effectiveness and safety of nal-IRI+5-FU/LV in real-life PDAC patients in Spain.

Background: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe complication of acute hepatic failure requiring urgent critical care management. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine have been investigated as potential treatments to improve outcomes in patients with acute HE. However, the effectiveness of BCAA administration during the acute phase remains unclear.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is less common in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) recipients than in allogeneic SCT recipients. However, some cases of severe GVHD, especially involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, have been documented. We present a patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) exhibiting severe GI-GVHD after ASCT with busulfan/thiotepa conditioning.
