Tooth disorders accounted for an annual average of 1,944,000 emergency department visits during 2020 to 2022, according to a June data brief published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Evolutionary model for antibiotic resistance reveals dose timing critical to care

MyBlueDots3 weeks ago01 mins

Cleveland Clinic researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study, published in Science Advances, uses a new type of evolutionary model called a “fitness seascape” to incorporate a patient’s dosage schedule into models that predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance, and has found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead to treatment failure.

Study reveals risk factors for spinal deterioration in r-axSpA

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal disease that predominantly affects the axial skeleton. axSpA is an umbrella term that comprises the whole spectrum of patients with and without radiographic sacroiliitis, and joint ASAS/EULAR recommendations were published in 2022.

Blocking CD200R1 protein offers new strategy for treatment-resistant blood cancers

Be it peanuts or other triggers, many families live with the day-to-day risk that their child might experience a sudden and scary allergic reaction. Pediatric emergency department visits in the United States to treat acute allergic reactions more than tripled from 2008 to 2016.

Synergistic drug combinations explored for systemic sclerosis vasodilation

MyBlueDots3 weeks ago01 mins

It is known that vasculopathy plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Vasoactive vasodilating drugs (VVD) are an option. The most recent treatment recommendations from EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology—note that advances in vasculopathy management for patients with SSc emphasize a treatment continuum for the use of various VVD, but also stress the need for trials to look for potential synergistic combinations as well as high-quality real-world data to build the evidence. New data shared at the 2025 EULAR congress in Barcelona may take a step in that direction.

Different genetic roots of autism may lead to shared brain activity and behaviors

New research from the University of Minnesota Medical School suggests that different genetic forms of autism may lead to similar patterns in brain activity and behavior. The findings were recently published in Nature Neuroscience.

Exploring patient experiences in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

MyBlueDots3 weeks ago01 mins

Adolescents and young adults with chronic diseases need special care—and pediatric rheumatological conditions can persist into adulthood. Two new works presented at the 2025 congress of EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology—consider the training that health care professionals need to help support transition for younger patients, and the perspectives and experiences of young adults.
