Trends in prescribing and outcomes in obese versus non-obese patients receiving rivaroxaban therapy: an observational study using real-world data by Alalawneh, Majdoleen

“…Results The number of patients initiated on rivaroxaban therapy significantly increased from 152 (3.3%) in 2015 to 1342 (28.9%) in 2020 (p <0.001). Within BMI categories, a similar increasing trend was observed in underweight, normal, and overweight patients, while from 2018 to 2020, there was a decreasing trend in rivaroxaban prescribing in all obese classes. …”

VEGF-121 plasma level as biomarker for response to anti-angiogenetic therapy in recurrent glioblastoma. by Martini, Maurizio

“…In athymic rats with U87MG brain xenografts, the level of plasma VEGF-121 relates with tumor volume and it significantly decreases after iv infusion of bevacizumab. Patients with recurrent GB show higher plasma VEGF-121 than healthy controls (p = 0.0002) and treatment with bevacizumab remarkably reduced the expression of VEGF-121 in plasma of these patients (p = 0.0002). …”
