In this review, researchers discuss 50 novel drugs approved by the FDA in 2024, highlighting key agents like vadadustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease and donanemab for Alzheimer’s, and focusing on their roles in pharmacy education and clinical decision-making.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an elevated risk of developing urolithiasis, suggesting shared inflammatory pathways and the need for vigilant kidney monitoring in affected individuals.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris was associated with changes in plasma phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc levels, potentially affecting kidney function and contributing to side effects like fatigue and dry skin.

The document concludes that various drugs for men's health issues are in development, with treatments for sexual dysfunction and prostate conditions being the most advanced.

This review discusses persistent sexual and nonsexual adverse effects of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in younger men, including erectile dysfunction, low libido, and depression. It reports no new clinical results but emphasizes further research is needed.

In this study, researchers using a Treg-specific HuR-deficient mouse model found that the RNA-binding protein HuR is crucial for stabilizing Foxp3 mRNA, affecting Treg function and immune regulation, with HuR disruption leading to impaired Foxp3 expression and potential autoimmune dysfunction.

In this study, researchers analyzed adverse events linked to avacopan using FDA data, finding no high-priority safety concerns but identifying five potential new adverse events, including alopecia, primarily among American patients, and noting a higher risk of liver dysfunction in Japanese patients.

This study suggests that finasteride may help alleviate high-fat diet-induced kidney damage in mice by reducing TMAO synthesis and regulating gut microbiota.
