The results reinforce the need for individualized, biology-driven therapeutic decisions in patients with MS. SAN DIEGO – Older patients with MS had increased neuroaxonal and astroglial injury biomarkers, greater cognitive vulnerability and reduced functional recovery up to 2 years compared with younger patients, according to a speaker at ACTRIMS.
“This research addresses an important unmet need in MS by moving beyond chronological age and focusing on biological aging, which more accurately reflects the mechanisms driving disease progression and treatment response,” María Celica Ysrraelit, MD,

Reducing pembrolizumab infusions from 30 minutes to 10 minutes could be a safe alternative for patients and open hundreds of hours of chair time for clinics.
A prospective trial involving nearly 100 patients showed infusion-related reactions minimally differed between 30-minute and 10-minute infusions. Additionally, the shortened infusions saved more than 150 hours for the cohort.
“Implementing shorter infusions could help optimize capacity and reduce treatment burden without compromising patient safety,” Elianne C.S. de Boer, MD, internist/oncologist at Isala Oncology Center in the

Absence of grab bars, tripping hazards and broken flooring in the home environment can significantly amplify the relationship between visual function and falls among older adults, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
“Individuals with vision loss are more likely to fall and to sustain fall-related fractures than those with normal vision,” Shu Xu, PhD, a research fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, and colleagues wrote. “While most falls are associated with one or more identifiable risk factors, there is limited evidence on the

On Jan. 1, CMS launched the latest value-based care model known as the Transforming Episode Accountability Model, or the TEAM model.
Implemented from Jan. 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2030, the TEAM model will require selected acute care hospitals to coordinate care from surgery through 30 days after hospitalization for patients with Medicare undergoing lower extremity joint replacement, surgical hip femur fracture treatment, spinal fusion, coronary artery bypass graft or major bowel procedures.
“The TEAM model follows on the lineage of value-based care models that CMS and [the Center for Medicare and

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — In this expert perspective from Hawaiian Eye 2026, John A. Hovanesian, MD, FACS, discusses a study assessing neurotrophic keratitis in cataract patients with dry eye.
Hovanesian, Healio | OSN Associate Medical Editor, said the study showed that 58% of these patients had stage 1 neurotrophic keratopathy based on Mackie criteria, resulting in corneal staining and reduced corneal sensation.
“Drugs like cenegermin (Oxervate) from Dompé are very valuable for this disease,” Hovanesian, of Harvard Eye Associates in Laguna Hills, California, told Healio. “They certainly may not be

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — In this expert perspective from Retina 2026, Baruch D. Kuppermann, MD, PhD, discusses positive data from real-world studies assessing intravitreal implants for diabetic macular edema.
According to Kuppermann, Steinert Endowed Professor and chair of the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of California, Irvine, patients in the ERLYDEX study with suboptimal responses to anti-VEGF therapy who were switched to Ozurdex (dexamethasone intravitreal implant, AbbVie) “showed benefit compared with those that were maintained on anti-VEGF both in terms of

Use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with lower 5-year risk for chronic kidney disease and AKI compared with GLP-1 receptor agonists for adults with type 2 diabetes, according to data published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists have become pivotal treatments in type 2 diabetes, according to Simon K. Jensen, PhD, of the departments of clinical medicine and epidemiology at Aarhus University in Denmark, and colleagues. However, no randomized clinical trials have compared SGLT2 inhibitors with GLP-1 receptor agonists for the treatment of CKD and AKI, they

An infant in New Mexico died from Listeria that health officials believe was contracted through raw milk.
Investigators could not pinpoint the exact source of the infant’s infection but believe it was from unpasteurized milk consumed by the infant’s mother during pregnancy, according to a press release from the New Mexico Department of Health.
Listeria is one of many pathogens that can be found in raw milk, along with Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Escherichia coli, Brucella and Salmonella, according to the CDC. Last year, a child developed symptoms of H5N1 avian influenza after drinking raw
