Credit: Rost-9D/Getty Images Separate studies led by scientists at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DMHC) and Queens University offer some clarity about the hidden causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. Data from both studies is being presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) taking place in Boston, MA from November 11-15. According to at least one estimate, pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25 percent of all pregnancies, mostly during the first trimester. About half of the cases are caused by genetic or chromosomal issues. When pregnancy loss occurs three or more times, these are…

Kamran Abbasi, editor in chiefThe BMJkabbasi{at}bmj.comIn a recent lecture Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, talked about how setbacks driven by misinformation can be temporary and how evidence and data can rebuild confidence. He was speaking at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on the history of misinformation and health (doi:10.1136/bmj.r2338).1 Those sentiments might be applied to new research published this week—a rapid review that finds no support for Donald Trump’s sensational views on paracetamol (acetaminophen), known by the brand name Tylenol in the US.

The research, published in Blood Advances, focused on the BCMA-targeted therapy cilta-cel and found that long-term MM survival was linked to an interaction between the infused CAR T cells and a patient’s own immune system. “CAR T cell therapy has changed myeloma care, but not everyone maintains a long remission,” said senior author Alessandro Lagana,…
