Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Tivozanib in Heavily Pretreated Patients With Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of heavily pretreated patients with advanced ccRCC, tivozanib yielded a modest clinical benefit in a minority of patients who received prior ICT, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib ± everolimus. TRAEs were consistent with previously published reports.PMID:38478923 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae037 (Source: The Oncologist)

U ‐shaped association between serum calcium and in‐hospital mortality in patients with congestive heart failure
ConclusionsOur study identifies a U-shaped association between serum calcium levels and in-hospital mortality in CHF patients, with a notable inflection point at 8.35  mg/dL. Further investigation through prospective, randomized, and controlled studies is warranted to validate the findings presented in this study. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Association between SpO2 and the risk of death in elderly T2DM patients with cerebral infarction: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsStriking an optimal balance is paramount, as fixating solely on lower SpO2 limits or neglecting high SpO2 levels may contribute to increased mortality rates. To mitigate mortality risk in elderly T2DM patients with cerebral infarction, we recommend maintaining SpO2 levels within the range of 94.5–96.5%. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Left atrial myxoma with cardiogenic shock following a myocardial infarction: a case report
ConclusionThis patient ’s case of cardiogenic shock following revascularization was complicated by the identification of an atrial myxoma, which, when large enough, can obstruct blood flow through the mitral valve leading to acute mitral dynamic stenosis. This condition results in circulatory collapse due to obstruction of the left ventricle in diastole as the myxoma occludes the mitral valve. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Validation of self-reported cardiovascular problems in childhood cancer survivors by contacting general practitioners: feasibility and results
CONCLUSIONS: Despite excellent GP compliance, it was found unfeasible to validate self-reported cardiovascular problems via GPs because they do not serve as gatekeepers in the Swiss health care system. It is thus necessary to develop other validation methods to improve the quality of patient-reported outcomes.PMID:38459512 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02322-7 (Source: Primary Care)

Next-generation strategies to improve safety and efficacy of adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy for hemophilia: lessons from clinical trials in other gene therapies
Haematologica. 2024 Mar 7. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2023.284622. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree major directions for the global progress of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for gene therapies (GT) are analyzed: a) engineering vectors to increase transgene expression; b) aligning interests of the health system with costs and challenges for pharmaceutical industry; c) refining patient eligibility criteria, and endpoints definition. Currently employed AAV vectors may cause toxicity and adverse events. Furthermore, studies in animals do not fully predict risks and clinical benefits of AAV-based GT, and animal models refl...
