In this retrospective study, investigators evaluated a pharmacy-led initiative in the emergency department (ED), finding a potential reduction in ED revisits and hospital readmissions, though results were not statistically significant.

The new indication would include adults with heart failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40% or higher, such as mildly reduced or preserved LVEF.

Although RSV has long been associated with infants and young children, research demonstrates that it is also a significant health risk for adults over the age of 60.

Treatment with ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis and anemia was associated with more inpatient medical center and emergency department visits while increasing health care-related financial burdens compared with nonanemic patients.

Tarlatamab was approved by the FDA in May 2024 for patients who progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.

This marks steps toward improving health care pricing transparency, but further reforms are needed to reduce costs long-term.

Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in the function of T-cells.

DC646 had a strong safety profile, targeted intestinal FXR, and disrupted FXR-co-activator interactions in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

The authors note that further research is needed to clarify cost-effectiveness, long-term adherence, and psychosocial impacts of oral immunotherapy.

The new data emphasize the fundamental differences in management and associated complications with each form of diabetes.

Pharmacists with a deeper knowledge of xerostomia are ideally positioned to help educate patients with dry mouth on making informed self-care decisions for effective symptom management and improved quality of life.

The Western diet was associated with increased risk of lung cancer.

This study found no significant difference in the sustained return of spontaneous circulation or survival to hospital discharge based on the timing of the first epinephrine administration in these patients.

Measures including disease-free survival and overall survival were improved in patients with MF who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and a 3D volumetric splenomegaly analysis.

Untargeted lipidomics identified a glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid signature that differentiated severe alcohol-related hepatitis (sAH) from decompensated cirrhosis (DC).

Use of dexamethasone over tocilizumab was associated with significant cost-savings for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

Compared with daily oral iron, a single intravenous (IV) infusion of iron was shown to lower rates of low birth weight in infants and decrease reliance on further iron supplementation or transfusions in pregnant patients with anemia.

The health care community was left largely unaware of the controversy that occurred at one of the clinical trial sites.

Vepdegestrant is an experimental oral PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera that degrades estrogen receptor (ER) in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

The favorable outcomes were observed in the phase 3 AMPLIFY trial.

Though rare and typically presenting as transient, a case study demonstrates severe, chronic neutropenia in a patient with multifocal motor neuropathy treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

If approved, vutrisiran would be the first FDA-approved therapy to treat both the polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy aspects of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR).

In older postmenopausal women, leukocyte count was found to be an independent predictor of long COVID symptom severity, highlighting its potential for use as a novel symptom biomarker.

Conference Co-Chair and American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Past President Elaine R. Mardis, PhD, explains that the conference provides pharmacy professionals with insights into the application of large-scale cancer genomics studies to real-world therapeutic responses.
