A retrospective study found that instances of recurrent pulmonary hypertension due to vascular reocclusion or restenosis were extremely uncommon after balloon pulmonary angioplasty.

A cross-sectional study finds that patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) exhibit a reduced immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine compared with controls.

This qualitative study conducted interviews with caregivers of patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) to explore their unique experiences and challenges in navigating health systems to access disease-modifying therapies.
