Adults with atopic dermatitis treated with upadacitinib had fewer major adverse cardiovascular events compared with background rates in real-world populations, adding to research supporting the drug’s potential cardioprotective benefits.Upadacitinib (Rinvoq, Abbvie) is a systemic anti-inflammatory drug approved by the FDA for treatment of 10 immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, including

In a small pilot study, men with androgenic alopecia saw improvements in hair density and thickness after 6 months of daily, 30-minute treatments with a wearable, low-level electrical stimulation device, researchers reported.“Androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness, affects around 80% of men at some point in their lives, depending on their age,” Carlos Chacón-Martínez,

Most of the top-selling topical diaper preparations on the market contain one or more potential allergens that could cause — rather than treat or prevent —perineal dermatitis, according to a review published in Pediatric Dermatology.“Areas that have an impaired skin barrier are more prone to allergen sensitization,” Shehla Admani, MD, FAAD, clinical associate professor of

Children and adolescents with primary hyperhidrosis often report an underappreciated but substantial psychosocial burden, presenting an opportunity for dermatology and psychiatry to collaborate and develop integrated treatment plans.

The rate of uterine rupture increased slightly over 12 years for women who attempted a vaginal birth after a prior cesarean delivery, although the absolute risk for such an outcome remains “exceedingly low,” researchers reported. “As clinicians, we have patients who come to us after a prior C-section and want to know what they should do for their next pregnancy,” Ann M.

A long-acting contraceptive implant delivered with novel microneedle technology could provide a more accessible, nonsurgical option for women and increase the likelihood of medication use, according to preclinical data. Researchers have struggled to develop long-acting injectable drugs that combine a long duration of action — at least 3 months — with the capacity for

CHICAGO — An autologous point-of-care cell therapy for adults with ischemic HF with reduced ejection fraction was safe and may be beneficial for select candidates, though a pivotal study did not meet its primary efficacy outcome.New 2-year data from the CardiAMP-HF trial, presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session, suggest that the first cardiac cell therapy

CHICAGO — The incidence of cyanotic congenital heart disease increased in states with restrictive abortion policies after the Dobbs ruling in 2022, whereas rates remained relatively stable across states with protective abortion policies.The study, presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session, is the first to assess rates of congenital heart defects since the Dobbs v.

Autistic women can face unique challenges during the menopause transition, especially when it comes to navigating sensory challenges and interactions with clinicians as they seek to address their symptoms.Data from a recent qualitative study suggest there is a need for specialized health care training to recognize and address the perimenopause-related needs of autistic adults, as well as a need

Women who reported a greater number of symptoms during perimenopause also reported poorer cognitive function and more mild behavioral impairment symptoms later in life, both of which are risk markers for future dementia.In an analysis of nearly 900 postmenopausal women who completed detailed surveys, researchers also found that women who reported using estrogen-based hormone therapy during
