Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), especially in comparison with PET/computed tomography (CT), which has been widely used in clinical practice in multiple myeloma.
Method: F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/MRI and PET/ CT studies were done at baseline and when at least a partial response to treatment was achieved. These were done for newly-diagnosed myeloma patients who have not had more than 1 cycle of anti-myeloma treatment, or for relapsed and/or refractory myeloma patients before the start of next line of therapy.
Results: PET/MRI correlated significantly with PET/CT, in terms of number of lesions detected, standardised uptake value (SUVmean and SUVmax, both at baseline and post-treatment. PET/MRI and PET/CT correlated with survival at baseline, but not post-treatment.
Conclusion: In this study, PET/MRI was more sensitive in detecting early disease and disease resolution post-treatment, compared with PET/CT. However, PET/MRI was less sensitive in detecting lesions in the ribs, clavicle and skull.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a condition that results from metabolic disorders. In addition to genetic factors, irregular and high-energy diets may also significantly contribute to its pathogenesis. Dietary habits can profoundly alter the composition of gut microbiota and metabolites.

Purpose Of Review: Diagnostic stewardship (DS) aims to optimise the use of laboratory testing to improve patient care while reducing unnecessary tests. This review examines recent evidence on DS interventions to optimise the use of resources, focusing on three key areas: reducing unnecessary testing, maximising the impact of existing tests, and avoiding the overdiagnosis of hospital-acquired infections.
Recent Findings: Multiple interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing unnecessary blood and urine culture testing, including clinical decision support tools, education programs, and multidisciplinary approaches.
Real-Time Exposure to Alcohol Content in Digital Media in Adolescents: Protocol for a Multiburst Ecological Momentary Assessment Study.

Background: Digital media frequently contains positive portrayals of alcohol content, which has been shown to be associated with alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors. Because youth are heavy media consumers and have access to unsupervised, repeat viewing of media content on their personal mobile devices, it is critical to understand the frequency of encountering alcohol content in adolescents' daily lives and how adolescents engage with the content.
Objective: This paper outlines the study protocol for examining adolescents' exposure to alcohol-related content in digital media within their natural environments.
Elinzanetant for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With Menopause: A Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Intern Med
September 2025
Bayer CC AG, Basel, Switzerland.
Importance: There is an unmet need for long-term, safe, effective, and hormone-free treatments for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sleep disturbances.
Objective: To evaluate the 52-week efficacy and safety of elinzanetant, a dual neurokinin-targeted therapy, for treating moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause.
Design, Setting, And Participants: OASIS-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 clinical trial that was conducted at 83 sites in North America and Europe from August 27, 2021, to February 12, 2024, and included postmenopausal women aged 40 to 65 years who were seeking treatment for moderate to severe VMS (no requirement for a minimum number of VMS events per week).
Decentralized Clinical Trials in the Era of Real-World Evidence: A Critical Assessment of Recent Experiences.

Since the first decentralized clinical trial (DCT) was conducted in 2011, there has been an increased usage of DCT due to its benefits of patient-centricity and generalizability of findings. This trend was further expedited by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We identified 23 case studies across various therapeutic areas and grouped them into different categories according to their purposes-by necessity, for operational benefits, to address unique research questions, to validate innovative digital endpoints, or to validate decentralization as a clinical research platform.
