Article Abstract

The suppression of gastric acid secretion has long been the cornerstone of treatment for acid peptic disorders (APDs). Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have played a central role in managing these conditions, but their effectiveness can be hindered by notable limitations such as refractoriness or treatment failure due to inadequate acid suppression in some gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients, nonadherence to prescribed regimens due to the complexity of dosing, variability of response, and nocturnal acid breakthrough, etc. Vonoprazan is a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), recently introduced in India and also approved in several countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the USA. Extensive clinical evidence suggests that vonoprazan offers more potent acid suppression than PPIs. This consensus from the Association of Physicians of India (API) has been developed with the objective of providing key recommendations for the appropriate clinical usage of vonoprazan across various subsets of APDs, thereby optimizing the existing therapeutic options and improving the care and management of APD patients.

Importance: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an underdiagnosed but treatable cause of heart failure (HF) in older individuals that occurs in the context of normal wild-type (ATTRwt-CA) or an abnormal inherited (ATTRv-CA) TTR gene variant. While the most common inherited TTR variant, V142I, occurs in 3% to 4% of self-identified Black Americans and is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, the prevalence of ATTR-CA in this at-risk population is unknown.

Objective: To define the prevalence of ATTR-CA and proportions attributable to ATTRwt-CA or ATTRv-CA among older Black and Caribbean Hispanic individuals with HF.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the inter- and intra-observer agreement regarding lesions with uncertain malignancy potential in Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer patients, utilizing the PSMA-RADS 2.0 classification system, and to emphasize the malignancy evidence associated with these lesions.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT images of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer via histopathology between December 2016 and November 2023.

Introduction: Physician assistant programs use summative evaluations to assess near graduates, with many using the PA Education Association (PAEA) End of Curriculum (EOC) exam to assess the medical knowledge component. Accurate identification of those students at risk of low Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) performance is imperative. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the outcomes of the PAEA EOC exam and the PANCE.
