Lisocabtagene Maraleucel Demonstrates Efficacy in Real-World Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Large B Cell Lymphoma
A recent study published in Blood Advances explores the real-world efficacy and safety of lisocabtagene maraleucel, an autologous CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed or refractory large B cell lymphoma (LBCL). The retrospective analysis utilized data from the Cell Therapy Consortium registry, involving 101 patients with a median age of 71 years and […]
Low LDL-C Levels Linked to Decreased Risk of Dementia and Alzheimer Disease-Related Dementia
A recent study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry reveals that low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with a reduced risk of dementia, including Alzheimer disease-related dementia (ADRD). Conducted by Minwoo Lee, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues from Hallym University College of Medicine, South Korea, the retrospective study analyzed data […]
Telemedicine Effective in Managing Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Dementia Compared to Usual Care
A study published in The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry suggests that telemedicine is as effective as usual care in managing neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) among dementia patients in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), particularly in reducing hospitalizations and psychotropic drug prescriptions. This was confirmed by secondary and exploratory analyses from the DETECT study, a multicenter, controlled […]
