Article Synopsis
  • A study conducted in France during the 2023-24 RSV season analyzed the effectiveness of nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody, in preventing RSV infections in infants, focusing on breakthrough cases.
  • Out of 695 RSV-infected infants, researchers sequenced the full-length RSV genome of 545 infants, identifying that 48% had breakthrough infections despite receiving nirsevimab.
  • While no resistance was found in RSV-A infections from nirsevimab-treated infants, two cases of RSV-B showed substitutions linked to resistance, indicating a potential concern for the antibody's effectiveness against this variant.

Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) is a diverse and challenging type of cancer that often has poor outcomes, especially in younger patients lacking the SMARCB1 protein.
  • Research indicated that human and mouse PTCL-NOS exhibit similar DNA changes, including the hypermethylation of T-cell genes and the hypomethylation of myeloid development genes, contributing to a complicated tumor ecosystem.
  • A study found that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), like SAHA, can effectively treat PTCL-NOS by modifying the tumor's microenvironment and improving immune function, paving the way for potential combination therapies.

Use of Botulinum Toxin in Upper-Limb Tremor: Systematic Review and Perspectives.

Toxins (Basel)

September 2024

Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, Service de Rééducation Neurolocomotrice, Hôpitaux Universitaires Henri Mondor, F-94010 Créteil, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Tremor is the most common movement disorder, and while oral medications often have limited effectiveness due to side effects, botulinum toxin (BT) shows promise for improving upper limb function, although strong evidence is still lacking.
  • A systematic review analyzed existing studies on BT for upper-limb tremor, finding only eight randomized controlled trials and seven open-label studies with small sample sizes, indicating that tailored injections based on individual needs lead to better outcomes.
  • While BT injections can improve functionality, they may cause temporary weakness, particularly in wrist and finger movements; the review suggests optimizing injection techniques to minimize weakness and enhance effectiveness in treating tremors.
