Intensify Standardized Anticoagulation for Cancer-Associated Pulmonary Embolism: From Single-Center Real-World Data
Clin Ther. 2023 Oct 12:S0149-2918(23)00378-8. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.09.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant contributor to mortality in patients with cancer. Although anticoagulation serves as the cornerstone of treatment for cancer-associated PE, it has not been emphasized in real-world settings. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of suboptimal anticoagulant treatment on the prognosis of cancer-associated PE.METHODS: A cohort of 356 individuals newly diagnosed with acute PE were enrolled. The primary outcome of the study was recurrent venous thromboembol...

Personalized Minimal Effective Concentration Therapy
Clin Ther. 2023 Oct 12:S0149-2918(23)00379-X. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.09.015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt has been recognized for literally centuries that patients should be given only the amount of medication necessary to treat disease(s) or relieve symptoms. It is also well known that this amount can vary greatly between patients or even over time in the same patient. The ability to identify this amount, that is, to "personalize" dosing, requires a reliable measure of a patient's response to treatment. The development of analytical methods for the accurate measurement of pharmacologically meaningful drug conce...

Multidisciplinary Care of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease and Alcohol Use Disorder: A Narrative Review for Hepatology and Addiction Clinicians
Clin Ther. 2023 Oct 7:S0149-2918(23)00381-8. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.09.016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Models of integrated, multidisciplinary care are optimal in the setting of complex, chronic diseases and in the overlap of medical and mental health disease, both of which apply to alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Alcohol use disorder (AUD) drives nearly all cases of ALD, and coexisting mental health disease is common. ALD is a complex condition with severe clinical manifestations and high mortality that can occasionally lead to liver transplantation. As a result, integrated care for ALD is an attra...
