A study published in JAMA Network Open identified the effects of mitigation strategies, duration of maternal-derived immunity, and importation of external factors on RSV epidemic severity. Using the decreased RSV cases during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic as a referent, the investigators estimated the number of RSV hospitalizations in each month of the 2021-2025 RSV seasons. RSV outbreaks in the US have spatiotemporal patterns, or "seasons," of predictable time and duration. The investigators emphasized the need to model the intensity, timing, and affected ages of RSV epidemics to prepare medical infrastructure for the upcoming years. The investigators used simulation models to explore factors associated with RSV epidemics. They collected RSV hospitalization data from New York (2005-2014) and California (2003-2011) using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's State Inpatient Databases of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. The data included age of patient...

An oral, experimental medication that targets the bacteria that causes gum disease may offer a "new treatment paradigm" for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), new research suggests. Dr Michael Detke Results from the phase 2/3 GAIN trial of atuzaginstat (Cortexyme Inc), which targets the gum bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), suggest the pathogen is a "potential driver of AD." "We showed the efficacy and safety of our drug in patients with mild to moderate AD who have Pg infection; and we think we found an optimal dose. This represents a whole new treatment paradigm for AD," study investigator Michael J. Detke, MD, PhD, chief medical officer at Cortexyme, told Medscape Medical News. The findings were presented at the 14th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) Conference. Low-Grade Chronic Infection Pg ...

Getting a medical second opinion can help you have a more well-rounded treatment plan and save money. Even though additional consultations are beneficial, you may feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the process. Or even still, the more opinions you may get, the more confusing the solution. A recent study reported that 70 percent of Americans do not feel compelled to get a second opinion. However, getting a second opinion, especially with others of various specialties, can help you to be able to make the most comprehensive decision with your healthcare plan. Doctors are humans like everyone else. They are fallible. Each specialty has various training, which provides different perspectives. An internal medicine doctor will look at the body differently than a naturopathic doctor and vice v...
