One patient’s refusal to take TB medicine despite counselling exposed a deeper issue: a gap in health literacy. Our study investigates how this gap impacts patients especially those with comorbidities and what it means for TB elimination in India.
Understanding the Shared Pathways of Diabetes and Heart Failure
Patients with diabetes often develop heart failure earlier than expected; many with heart failure develop glucose abnormalities over time. Despite overlap, they have been studied/managed separately. This prompted us to revisit their link as interconnected stages of a shared cardiometabolic process.
First clinical proof-of-concept of CAR T-cell combination therapy: The phase 2, single-arm ZUMA-14 trial of axicabtagene ciloleucel in combination with rituximab for refractory large B-cell lymphoma
In this study, researchers looked at how safe and well axi-cel and rituximab worked to treat people with refractory large B-cell lymphoma. These therapies target 2 different markers on the surface of the cancer cell. The study showed that this dual-targeting strategy is feasible and generally safe.
Cytomegalovirus Disease in Renal Allograft Recipients in the Current Immunosuppression Era
We aimed to determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients in the era of imunosuppression, to determine the incidence of CMV recurrence in renal transplant recipients.
Powered Toothbrushing After Stroke: Why a Simple Daily Task Matters More Than We Think
Brushing our teeth is something many of us do automatically, morning and night, without stopping to think. For most people, it is an unremarkable part of personal hygiene.
