Carl C. Awh, MD Credit: Retina Fellows Forum A new analysis suggests initial experiences with 2 ranibizumab biosimilars, ranibizumab-nuna (Byooviz) and ranibizumab-eqrn (Cimerli), revealed no unexpected adverse outcomes in treated eyes, while clinical efficacy appeared equivalent to the reference product (Lucentis).1 The study, presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 41st Annual Meeting, […]

Evidence of leaky protection following COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection in an incarcerated population

Abstract Whether SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccines confer exposure-dependent (“leaky”) protection against infection remains unknown. We examined the effect of prior infection, vaccination, and hybrid immunity on infection risk among residents of Connecticut correctional facilities during periods of predominant Omicron and Delta transmission. Residents with cell, cellblock, and no documented exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infected residents […]

Red blood cells. (IANS) Cancer patients hospitalised with COVID-19 and those on anti-cancer drugs may face an elevated risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), and potentially severe blood clots in veins, as per a study. Published in JAMA Oncology, the study revealed that those receiving systemic anti-cancer treatment had a 33% higher relative risk of […]

Abstract The energy industry significantly contributes to anthropogenic methane emissions, which add to global warming and have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aims to evaluate the relationship between energy-related methane emissions and the burden of CVD, measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), in 2019. We conducted a cross-sectional […]

Predicting unplanned readmission due to cardiovascular disease in hospitalized patients with cancer: a machine learning approach

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in cancer patients can affect the risk of unplanned readmissions, which have been reported to be costly and associated with worse mortality and prognosis. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using machine learning techniques in predicting the risk of unplanned 180-day readmission attributable to CVD among hospitalized cancer patients using […]

A genome-wide association study of blood cell morphology identifies cellular proteins implicated in disease aetiology

Abstract Blood cells contain functionally important intracellular structures, such as granules, critical to immunity and thrombosis. Quantitative variation in these structures has not been subjected previously to large-scale genetic analysis. We perform genome-wide association studies of 63 flow-cytometry derived cellular phenotypes—including cell-type specific measures of granularity, nucleic acid content and reactivity—in 41,515 participants in the […]

18 Aug 2023 — Molecules in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli or kale may help maintain a healthy lung barrier and ease infection, according to new research on mice. These molecules help to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a protein that signals cells to respond to environmental stressors or infections. AHR helps to prevent […]
