New myasthenia gravis (MG) research continues to evaluate the subtleties of clinical and serological differences between ocular MG and generalized MG, with conclusions of a recent retrospective chart review in Neuromuscular Disorders pointing toward similar frequencies of positive acetylcholine receptor(AChR) […]

Using more careful consideration when deciding whether or not to order next-generation sequencing (NGS) for a patient with an actual or suspected myeloid neoplasm (MN) could save institutions thousands of dollars annually without compromising care, according to a Yale School

No single, noninvasive, available test is capable of accurate detection and diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), according to a comprehensive literature review published in European Respiratory Review.1 Insufficient noninvasive screening for populations at

Results of a large real-world cohort study including more than 3300 patients confirm that ibrutinib is an effective salvage treatment for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL). The work, published in HemaSphere, surveyed data from all patients with R/R CLL
