Lower torso exercise plus respiratory training beneficial in asthma
Breathing exercise devices such as a conventional threshold loading training (TLT) device or an innovative respiratory training (IRT) device, when used in combination with lower torso sports training (LTST), proved beneficial in improving pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with asthma, a study suggests. However, IRT trumped TLT in terms of improvements in some respiratory and physical performance variables.
Darolutamide-containing triplet regimen ups survival in mHSPC regardless of disease volume, risk
In a post hoc analysis of the phase III ARASENS study, the triplet regimen comprising darolutamide, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and docetaxel continued to show overall survival (OS) benefit for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) irrespective of disease volume and risk.
Mesalamine shows modest benefit in IBS
Treatment with mesalamine may only have modest efficacy for the global symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), specifically IBS that causes increased diarrhoea, according to the results of a meta-analysis. However, the quality of evidence appears to be low.
Rucaparib improves rPFS vs docetaxel or 2nd-generation ARPI in BRCA-mutated mCRPC
Rucaparib significantly improves radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) vs physician’s choice of docetaxel, abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) harbouring BRCA alterations whose disease has progressed after treatment with a second-generation androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), results of the phase III TRITON3 trial have shown.
