Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this study was to provide an overview and insights on important new concepts on untargeted antifungal treatment strategies, namely prophylaxis pre-emptive and empiric treatments for the management of invasive candidiasis (IC) in non-neutropenic critically ill patients.

Recent Findings

Recently, clinical practice guidelines provided recommendation for the management of IC. However, results from recent trials and systematic reviews questioned the effect of untargeted antifungal treatment strategies, especially in terms of survival benefits in non-neutropenic patients, even with septic shock.

Summary

Widespread use of untargeted antifungal treatment strategies seems not to be justified anymore. Future research should evaluate comprehensive diagnostic-therapeutic approaches, including the implementation of de-escalation. In the meanwhile, clinicians should take into account all available sources of information including clinical evaluation, risk factor assessment, scores, and surrogate biomarkers to tailor antifungal treatment before definitive microbiological diagnosis.

CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei Brustkrebs in die Zweitlinie aufschieben?

Ergebnisse einer Phase-III-Studie sprechen dafür, dass die Behandlung mit CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei fortgeschrittenem HR-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs auch auf die Zweitlinie verschoben werden könnte, ohne die onkologischen Ergebnisse zu kompromittieren.

Inhalative Steroide bei COPD nicht kardioprotektiv

Ob inhalative Kortikosteroide (ICS) COPD-Kranke außer vor akuten Exazerbationen auch vor kardiovaskulären Komplikationen schützen können, ist unklar. Eine bevölkerungsbasierte Studie aus England spricht nicht dafür.

Kaffeegenuss sicher bei Vorhofflimmern

Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern fürchten oft, Kaffee könnte schlecht für ihr Herz sein. Solche Ängste sind offenbar unbegründet: Zwei Schweizer Untersuchungen deuten sogar auf eine reduzierte Rate von kardiovaskulären Ereignissen unter Kaffeetrinkern.

Cannabisextrakt verbessert Antiemese bei Chemotherapie

Sprechen Krebskranke auf die übliche Antiemese während einer Chemotherapie nicht ausreichend an, lohnt sich möglicherweise eine Behandlung mit Cannabisextrakt. In einer Phase-2/3-Studie ließ sich die antiemetische Response mit einem solchen Extrakt erheblich verbessern.
