Background: Real-world data regarding patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations receiving mobocertinib are limited. This study describes these patients' characteristics and outcomes.
Methods: A chart review was conducted across three countries (Canada, France, and Hong Kong), abstracting data from eligible patients (NCT05207423). The inclusion criteria were: ≥ 18 years old; diagnosis of stage IIIB-IV NSCLC with EGFR ex20ins between January 1, 2017 and November 30, 2021; received mobocertinib. Data on demographics, clinical parameters, treatment patterns, mobocertinib exposure, real-world outcomes, and adverse events (AEs) were collected. Results are also reported by Asian/Non-Asian races.
Results: Overall, 105 patients were enrolled (median [IQR] age at initial diagnosis: 64.0 years [56, 71]; women: 62.9%). The most common first-line of therapy (LoT) was chemotherapy; the most common second LoT was EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Most patients received mobocertinib during LoT two and three (74.3%); the maximum dose was 160 mg/day for 67.6% of the cohort (mean [SD] daily dose: 130.6 mg [36.68]). The median real-world progression-free survival (PFS) on mobocertinib was 4.76 months (95% CI: 3.98, 6.21). The overall response rate and disease control rate were 20.0% and 48.6%, respectively (median duration of response: 8.34 months [95% CI: 3.61, 9.49]). The median overall survival (OS) was 26.28 months (95% CI: 20.21, 36.44). Asian patients had numerically superior PFS and OS compared with non-Asian patients. Regarding safety analysis, 73 patients (69.5%) experienced any AE. The most common AE was diarrhea (any grade) (52 patients; 49.5%).
Conclusions: These data illustrate the real-world effectiveness of mobocertinib.

Warfarin is a widely used vitamin K antagonist (VKA) with known pleiotropic effects beyond anticoagulation. Preclinical and case-control evidence suggests that warfarin may affect hematopoiesis, but longitudinal human evidence is lacking. To explore this potential effect, we conducted a post-hoc analysis of participants in the Hokusai-VTE and ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trials, which randomized patients to warfarin or the direct oral anticoagulant edoxaban with routine laboratory testing at predefined follow-up visits.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder that significantly impairs physical function and daily activities. While conventional treatments focus on symptom management, complementary therapies such as aromatherapy massage have gained attention for their potential benefits.
Objective: This study evaluates the effects of peppermint oil aromatherapy massage on functional impairments in KOA patients.

Wearable bioelectronics have transformed modern biomedical applications by enabling seamless integration with biological tissues, providing continuous, comprehensive, and personalized healthcare. Skin cancer, particularly melanoma, poses a significant clinical challenge due to its high metastatic potential and associated mortality. Traditional diagnostic approaches face limitations in accuracy, accessibility, and reproducibility, while existing treatments are often constrained by systemic toxicity and therapeutic resistance.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Study Objective: Accurately predicting which Emergency Department (ED) patients are at high risk of leaving without being seen (LWBS) could enable targeted interventions aimed at reducing LWBS rates. Machine Learning (ML) models that dynamically update these risk predictions as patients experience more time waiting were developed and validated, in order to improve the prediction accuracy and correctly identify more patients who LWBS.
Methods: The study was deemed quality improvement by the institutional review board, and collected all patient visits to the ED of a large academic medical campus over 24 months.
