The study estimates that over 40% of academic pulmonary and allergy providers have not adopted the Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy combination method in their practices.

The authors note further research on technological monitoring methods can help health care providers better optimize patient care and improve nonadherence and nonpersistence.

The findings demonstrated that daytime heat waves were associated with approximately 19% higher odds of asthma-related hospitalizations in children.

According to the investigators, these findings support the investigation of rilzabrutinib in patients with asthma in a phase 3 trial program.

In 2014, the cobas human papillomavirus test was approved by the FDA for first-line, primary screening in women aged 25 years and older.

Researchers observed that patients aged 80 years and older with acute myeloid leukemia who were treated with venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent had prolonged overall survival.

Both MetS and obesity status have independent and differential associations with breast cancer, and may serve as separate targets for breast cancer prediction and prevention strategies.

The study data demonstrate that higher adiposity in childhood results in less dense breast tissue forming, reducing the risk of breast cancer.

The indication is for adult patients who have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy and is based on the response rate and duration of response shown in a phase 2 trial.

The continuation of tezepelumab showed stronger benefits after stopping treatment for 2 years and compared with placebo.

The authors note that the biomarkers found in the blood were involved in inflammatory processes, immune functions, or vascular processes, and may be pre-diagnostic indicators.

The authors note that this finding may have promise for use in assessing mental health conditions and improving patient outcomes.

Study investigators also found that dietary modifications were not associated in improving risks of certain chronic diseases and cancers.

The survey reported that approximately 65% of participants were concerned about their mental health, which is a 15% increase since 2020.

This is the first approval of an EB virus-related mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine and is a landmark achievement in future research on cancer treatment.

The authors emphasize that additional research addressing disparities and including race, age, and ethnicity should be conducted.

With these findings contributing to the understanding of neighborhood-level asthma risks, the authors note next steps can involve identifying and addressing disparities.
