Hypertension.
  • Phase III RCT compared low dose telmisartan/amlodipine/chlorthalidone 20/2.5/6.25 mg vs telmisartan 40 mg in essential HTN patients (n=314)
  • At 8 wks, combination reduced SBP more than monotherapy (LS mean diff −3.8 mmHg PPS, FAS −4.0 mmHg), DBP, normalization, & response rates favored combination
  • Efficacy was consistent across clinical strata, including age & prior HTN treatment, with comparable safety profile.

  • In 789 Indian T2DM+MASLD patients (mean age 53.3 yrs), LSM ≥9.7 in 12.9%
  • FIB 4 rule in cut off: 1.68 (AUROC 0.69, sens 64.7%, spec 65.2); NFS −0.389 (AUROC 0.619, sens 61.8%, spec 57.4)
  • Rule out AUROCs poor (FIB 4 0.586, NFS 0.570), conventional cut offs had low sensitivity (~21%) but high specificity (~90%)
  • Overall, FIB 4/NFS poorly predicted advanced fibrosis in Indian T2DM+MASLD patients.

  • A recent meta-analysis showed that carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae had significantly higher resistance to penicillins (Risk Ratios, RR 2.74), cephalosporins (ceftazidime RR 2.71, cefepime RR 2.46, cefuroxime RR 3.06), and carbapenems (imipenem RR 5.52 and meropenem RR 5.33) vs. carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae
  • Results highlighted the need for strict surveillance and new therapies.
