Environmental spillover of emerging viruses: Is it true?

Laurent Gavotte, Cedric Gaucherel, Roger Frutos

Summary: The concept of environmental spillover of pathogens to humans is widely used but lacks a clear definition. A systematic review found ten different definitions of spillover, none of which corresponded to the complete trajectory leading to disease emergence. There is no evidence for a mechanism of spillover, only intellectual constructions. It is potentially dangerous to base public health measures on this concept.

Is it time to put rest to rest?

Emily S. Finn

Summary: The resting state paradigm in human neuroimaging represents a shift from traditional task-based studies, but the value of exploring rest further is uncertain. While rest remains dominant in many subfields, data from tasks have shown benefits and insights into both mind and brain. Emphasizing grounded experiments over rest could accelerate progress in human neuroscience.

Is it time to reassess variant annotation?

David C. Samuels, Hui Yu, Yan Guo

Summary: Variant annotation is a crucial step in selecting candidates for further investigation. Recent annotation methods focus on empirically generated data, rather than theoretical predictions. These methods have the advantage of utilizing large amounts of experimental data, but also come with their own limitations.

Screening for Ocular Candidiasis Among Patients With Candidemia: Is It Time to Change Practice?

Matthew O'Donnell, Andrew W. Eller, Evan L. Waxman, Cornelius J. Clancy, M. Hong Nguyen

Summary: This article discusses the controversy surrounding the screening of candidemic patients for ocular candidiasis, highlighting the accuracy and safety of indirect funduscopy in diagnosis and the potential impact of positive findings on treatment recommendations. However, the lack of conclusive evidence on the effectiveness of treatment changes in improving outcomes is acknowledged. The authors endorse routine screening and suggest exploring digital fundus photography and teleophthalmology as alternatives to inpatient ophthalmologic consultations in asymptomatic patients.

Is It Time to Expand Our Definition of Clinical Utility?

Steven Sorscher

Summary: Currently, most patients are denied genetic tests for cancer risk or recurrence prediction due to the lack of proven clinical utility, although germline testing has been proven accurate and measures to prevent and diagnose early cancers associated with gene variations have been recommended. Similarly, despite the accuracy of ctDNA assays in predicting cancer recurrence, major organizations recommend against their use for monitoring solid tumor malignancies. This article discusses the reasons behind the lack of proven clinical utility and the need for a broader definition of clinical utility to benefit more patients.

Comparison of acid-lowering drugs for endoscopy negative reflux disease: Systematic review and network Meta-Analysis

Brigida Barberio, Pierfrancesco Visaggi, Edoardo Savarino, Nicola de Bortoli, Christopher J. Black, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different medical therapies for endoscopy-negative reflux disease. The results showed that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are superior to other drugs in treating this condition. Future research should focus on better patient classification and investigating the efficacy of other drugs.

Encouraging appropriate use of proton pump inhibitors: existing initiatives and proposals for the future

Amir Mari, Elisa Marabotto, Mentore Ribolsi, Fabiana Zingone, Brigida Barberio, Vincenzo Savarino, Edoardo Vincenzo Savarino

Summary: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used in the treatment of acid-related disorders, but their increasing use cannot be fully explained by the prevalence of these diseases alone. Inappropriate prescribing and overuse of PPIs has led to increased costs and potential harm. This review highlights current indications, potential adverse events, misuse of PPIs, and proposes strategies for improving their use. PPI deprescribing is recommended as the preferred approach, but more research is needed to determine optimal deprescribing methods in different clinical scenarios.

Efficacy and safety of oral beclomethasone dipropionate and budesonide MMX versus 5-aminosalicylates or placebo in ulcerative colitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Brigida Barberio, Ilaria Marsilio, Andrea Buda, Luisa Bertin, Gianluca Semprucci, Annalisa Zanini, Martina Crepaldi, Fabiana Zingone, Edoardo Savarino

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of low bioavailability steroids in treating patients with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. The results showed that low bioavailability steroids were more effective than placebo in achieving remission and had similar efficacy to 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASAs). More randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: There is a lack of data on the effectiveness and safety of Janus kinase inhibitors and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators in antibiotic refractory chronic pouchitis (CARP). This study retrospectively collected data on JAK inhibitor or S1P receptor modulator treatments for CARP and found that small molecules may be a suitable option for CARP refractory to multiple biologics, but further investigation is warranted.
