- Real-world comparison of jak inhibitors and TNF inhibitor cycling in axial spondyloarthritis patients after TNFi failure. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 22; :1-7. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Following prior TNFi failure, TNFi cycling was associated with longer observed drug survival compared with JAKi therapy. However, given the retrospective design and differences in prior treatment exposure, this finding should be interpreted as a descriptive real-world observation rather than definitive evidence of comparative effectiveness. JAK inhibitors may still represent a viable option for selected refractory patients with multiple prior TNFi failures.

- Changes in intravenous pantoprazole utilization following two sequential interventions in a tertiary referral hospital. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 16; :1-10. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Sequential interventions in our study reduced IV pantoprazole consumption. However, we did not observe a significant improvement in appropriate IV pantoprazole use except for SUP in one of the assessments. Although the reasons behind this should be studied, more comprehensive, continuous, and effective interventions should have been considered to achieve acceptable change.

- Identification of perioperative risk factors for retrograde type A dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B dissection. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 15; :1-7. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Younger age, larger HDAA, aortic root dilatation, shorter stent length, and no bradycardic drugs postoperatively are independent predictors of RTAD after TEVAR. For TBAD patients with a high risk of RTAD, clinicians should consider the possibility of having connective tissue diseases, select stents appropriately, and optimize postoperative treatment with strict follow-up.

- Central sensitization in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional analysis of functional disability, disease activity, and glucocorticoid use. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 14; :1-7. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: CS in RA is independently linked to functional disability rather than objective inflammation, highlighting a potential discordance between clinical findings and symptom burden. Recognition of these non-inflammatory mechanisms may help prevent unnecessary treatment escalation, particularly glucocorticoid overuse, and support more appropriate pain management strategies.

- Osteocalcin and impaired cerebral resting-state functional connectivity in postmenopausal osteoporosis: a pilot case-control study. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 14; :1-9. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study suggests possible impairment of brain connectivity and compensatory protective mechanisms/maladaptive mechanisms in postmenopausal osteoporosis. It also unveils that lower osteocalcin concentrations and BMD may be associated with altered cerebral connectivity, confirming animal studies, and providing preliminary findings for further research.

- Association of chronic kidney disease with major cardiovascular outcomes following lower extremity endovascular revascularization. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 12; :1-8. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: CKD stage provides independent prognostic information in patients undergoing endovascular LER. Advanced CKD independently predicts 30-day MACE with a dose-response relationship across stages. Preoperative eGFR should be incorporated into perioperative risk stratification protocols to guide cardiovascular optimization and surveillance planning.

- Toward consensus on complementary feeding recommendations: findings from a national evidence-informed modified Delphi study in Türkiye. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 12; :1-12. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Integration of quantitative Delphi findings with qualitative thematic analysis revealed that non-consensus primarily stemmed from the practical nuances of clinical execution and contextual adaptation, rather than a fundamental skepticism toward the underlying scientific data. These findings provide an evidence-informed foundation for developing context-sensitive CF recommendations for clinical practice.

- Metabolic pathways are associated with increased estimated cardiovascular risk in major depressive disorder: a QRISK3-based analysis. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 07; :1-10. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: The increased cardiovascular risk in depressed patients appears to be largely explained by metabolic factors such as the triglyceride/glucose index. Therefore, cardiovascular risk assessment is essential in patients with depression, a highly prevalent condition in psychiatric practice, and biochemical markers may be useful in this context.

- Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare dermatological condition characterized by the abrupt onset of tender, erythematous skin lesions, often presenting with fever and systemic inflammation. It is commonly associated with infection, malignancy, and medication exposure. Isolated case reports have described the co-occurrence of Sweet syndrome and thyroid dise…

- Respiratory depression with concomitant use of opioids and cannabinoids: a case report. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 01; :1-4. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: In our case, we describe how 100 mg cannabinoid product was a contributing factor in acute opioid toxicity possibly due to active inhibition of UGT2B7 (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7), a liver enzyme crucial in the metabolism of morphine. For patients who use cannabis, explicit counseling regarding the risks of combining high-dose opioids with high-dose cannabinoids is needed. Proactive counseling with patients in this changing landscape of cannabinoid use will become essential for their safety in the treatment of cancer-related pain.

- Diabetes and skin health: a statewide survey on Ohio healthcare providers' knowledge. [Journal Article]Postgrad Med. 2026 Oct 01; :1-7. [Online ahead of print]PM
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest potential knowledge gaps on the topic, which warrants further evaluation of the quality of diabetes care and patient outcomes. These results may help inform educational efforts for HCPs to enhance overall knowledge of dermatologic manifestations of diabetes. Further studies should assess knowledge and practice patterns among primary care healthcare professionals.
