Widening access to isotretinoin in primary care: an evaluation of New Zealand national dispensing data for isotretinoin for acne, 2008–2023 by Bruce Arroll, Diarmuid Quinlan, Peter Moodie, Rachel Petronella Roskvist, Jason Arnold

“…Objectives To identify what changes in the prescribing of isotretinoin have occurred since funded prescriber access was widened in 2009 from ‘dermatologist only’ prescribing to include ‘general practitioners (GPs) and nurse practitioners working within their scope of practice’.Design Evaluation of isotretinoin dispensing data from 2008 to 2023 using the national annual prescribing data obtained from the New Zealand Pharmaceutical National Collection database.Setting All New Zealand citizens prescribed and dispensed funded isotretinoin for acne from 2008 to 2023 were included.Main outcome measures The prescribing data were analysed to identify the total number of prescriptions per year by prescribing clinician type, patient ethnicity and deprivation levels.Results In 2008, nearly 100% (26 897) of dispensed prescriptions were written by a dermatologist, while in 2023, 79% (39 432) were written by primary care clinicians. …”

Comparison of Hydrus and iStent microinvasive glaucoma surgery implants in combination with phacoemulsification for treatment of open-angle glaucoma: systematic review and network... by Xiaoyu Wang, Rongrong Hu, Dongyu Guo, Nan Hong, Xiuyuan Xuan

“…The network meta-analysis was conducted within a Bayesian framework using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method in ADDIS software.Results Six prospective RCTs comprising 1397 patients were identified. Regarding the absolute value and the percentage of IOPR, the Hydrus and 2-iStent implantation combined with phacoemulsification were significantly more effective than phacoemulsification alone. …”

Risk of recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer‐associated venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban: A nationwide cohort study by Mette Søgaard, Peter Brønnum Nielsen, Flemming Skjøth, Jette Nordstrøm Kjældgaard, Torben Bjerregaard Larsen

“…Most frequent cancers were gastrointestinal (26.1%), genitourinary (23.3%), and hematological cancer (12.6%). Few had distant metastases (7.1%). At 6 months, recurrent VTE occurred in 6.1% (15.1 events per 100 person‐years) with the highest absolute risks for genitourinary cancer (8.1%), gastrointestinal cancer (7.3%), and breast cancer (6.5%). …”

Zoning of the reaction of the tissues of the implantation area after prosthetic repair in abdominal hernias in experiment by E. E. Lukoyanychev, S. G. Izmailov, D. A. Evsyukov, V. O. Nikolskij, A. A. Mironov, A. V. Panyushkin

“…The zone adjacent to the implant, with a width of about 50 µm ("the zone of changes in adjacent tissues") significantly differs from the "zone of changes in distant tissues" by a more pronounced inflammatory reaction due to a larger absolute number of lymphocytes (р = 0.019 and fibroblasts (р = 0.017), giant cells of foreign bodies (р < 0.001), larger vascular area (р < 0.001) and extravasations (р = 0.002). …”

Recent Tectonic Deformation of the Lunar Farside Mare and South Pole–Aitken Basin by C. A. Nypaver, T. R. Watters, J. D. Clark

“…However, contractional tectonics in the lunar maria may not be limited to the formation of large-scale structures in the distant geologic past. In contrast to larger, subsidence-induced lunar wrinkle ridges, recent investigations have identified contractional structures within the nearside lunar maria that are dimensionally small and recently formed via a combination of global stresses. …”
