This study looked at the risk of blood clots in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with biologics. It found that there was no significant increase in the risk of blood clots with biologics compared to other RA treatments.

This study reported the long-term effects on the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of apalutamide (Erleada) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). The data showed that apalutamide plus ADT preserved HR-QoL in these patients.

This study evaluated whether patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) having genetic mutations could benefit from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy after surgery. The data showed that EGFR-TKI therapy after surgery significantly improved survival without disease progression in these patients.

This study investigated the occurrence of fatigue (tiredness) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and identified predictors of fatigue after 24 months. The data showed that patients with early disease remission had a rapid, sustained reduction in fatigue and that low disease activity at diagnosis predicted a higher risk of fatigue at 24 months.

This study looked at the use of peficitinib (Smyraf) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the perspective of patients and their doctors. It found that peficitinib improved symptoms of RA and led to increased ability to work and carry out daily activities compared to placebo.

This study evaluated the occurrence and clinical predictors of peripheral neuropathy (PN; nerve damage) in long-term survivors of breast cancer (BC). The data showed that PN is an important long-term consequence of taxane-based chemotherapy in survivors of BC.

This study determined the percentage of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that still needed BPH medication after surgical therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The authors concluded that laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP) had the lowest percentage of patients that still needed BPH medication.

This study explored the risk factors for fragility fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The authors concluded that aging, disease-related factors, and previous fracture history are important risk factors for fragility fractures in these patients.

This study reviewed the initial management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).  

This study compared progesterone injected under the skin to vaginal progesterone after an embryo transfer. It found that under-the-skin progesterone was just as effective as vaginal progesterone, and led to similar pregnancy rates.
