Safety of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Cancer Patients With Preexisting Autoimmune Vasculitis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Objective Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective cancer therapies but often cause serious immune‐related adverse events (irAEs). Patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases, including vasculitis, are excluded from trials. We aimed to evaluate the frequency, severity, and outcomes of vasculitis flares and irAEs in this population.

A New Mathematical Model to Index Body Weight in Healthy Chinese Han Adults

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
We developed an optimized multivariate allometric model to correct the effects of age, sex, and height on body weight. A new index Wc > 1.1440 was established as a criterion for diagnosing overweight in Chinese Han adults. This criterion reduces overweight misclassification in men and provides a more specific assessment of cardiometabolic risk ...
