Background: Cell-free DNA blood tests (cf-bDNA) and next-generation stool tests could change colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Objective: To estimate the clinical and economic impacts of novel CRC screening tests. Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis using MOSAIC (Model of Screening and Surveillance for Colorectal Cancer). Data sources: Published data. Target Population: Average-risk persons. Time Horizon: Ages 45 to 100 years. Perspective: Health sector. Intervention: Novel versus established CRC screening tests. Outcome Measures: Incidence and mortality of CRC, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), costs. Results of Base-Case Analysis: For colonoscopy every 10 years, annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT), and triennial next-generation multitarget stool DNA, FIT-RNA, cf-bDNA (Guardant Shield), or cf-bDNA (Freenome), the relative rates (RRs) and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) versus no screening for CRC incidence were 0.21 (0.19 to 0.22), 0.29 (0.27 to 0.31), 0.33 (0.32 to 0.36), 0.32

Mashup Score: 0Treatment options for preventing autoimmune-mediated congenital heart block: a systematic review - 4 day(s) ago
Objective Complete congenital heart block (CHB) due to anti-Ro/La antibodies in pregnancy can lead to adverse fetal outcomes and neonatal death. National and international guidelines do not recommend specific treatment for women identified with anti-Ro antibodies while pregnant. Design Systematic review of studies of pregnant women with anti-Ro/La antibodies undertaking treatment(s) to prevent CHB. Studies solely focused on treating developing or established CHB were excluded. Main outcome measure CHB incidence. Results Of 1049 articles, 20 studies were eligible, of which 13 were retrospective. Sixteen studies contained usable data comparing various treatments (seven hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), six corticosteroids, two intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and one each on combined HCQ and corticosteroids and plasmapheresis), including 2134 women and 2915 pregnancies. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneity. HCQ as primary prophylaxis showed protective effect on CHB incidence in f

Mashup Score: 1How to use mTOR inhibitors in children - 4 day(s) ago
Paediatricians across many specialities and pharmacists are increasingly being asked to prescribe, or jointly look after, children treated with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors (eg, sirolimus and everolimus). There is an expanding list of conditions including tuberous sclerosis and vascular malformations where treatment with mTOR inhibitors may help. This brief practice pointer summarises the practical steps before starting these treatments, what potential side effects to discuss with families and what monitoring arrangements should be put in place.
