WASHINGTON, DC — For patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) undergoing modest-volume paracentesis for ascites, oral midodrine may be an alternative to intravenous albumin for preventing paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD), according to the results of a randomized controlled trial. Albumin protected 80% of patients from PICD 6 days after paracentesis, whereas midodrine protected 84%, a […]
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. The discovery, reported in the Journal of […]

Claudia Arevalo and colleagues have developed a mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccine that contains antigens from all 20 known subtypes of influenza A and B viruses, a strategy that may serve as the basis for universal flu vaccines. Their vaccine produced high levels of cross-reactive and subtype-specific antibodies in mice and ferrets and could protect animals […]
