Researchers Urge Caution in Using Antibiotic Prophylaxis

The medical community has for long relied on antibiotic prophylaxis, the practice of prescribing antibiotics to safeguard at-risk individuals from bacterial infections. However, a new publication has sounded the alarm on the widespread use of these “just in case” treatments due to their risk of driving antibiotic resistance. The paper, published by researchers at Charles University in Prague, appeared in the Clinical Microbiology & Infection journal. The authors caution that the prophylactic use of antibiotics has become unsustainable due to its growing use by medical practitioners because it threatens the long term efficacy of these medications. As more people use these therapies, the risk of antimicrobial resistance is growing,…

The Quest to Repair What Multiple Sclerosis Takes Away

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) gradually strips people of command over their own bodies, advancing steadily with no available cure. More than 2.9 million people across the globe are currently living with the disease. But even with generations of scientific study and research, every approved treatment still falls short of one essential objective: bringing the disease to a complete stop. Existing therapies can slow its advance, but none can halt it outright. That shortfall translates into a future of mounting disability for millions of MS sufferers. Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (Profile) is determined working to change that…

Next-Generation DNA Repair Inhibitors Could Capture Billions in Emerging Market

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Oncology research is moving through one of its most active stretches in years. DNA Damage Response (“DDR”) inhibitors, a category of drugs that work by blocking cancer cells' capacity to fix their own damaged DNA, are growing well beyond the poly ADP ribose polymerase (“PARP”) inhibitor that first defined the category. DDR-inhibiting therapies generated an estimated $7 billion-plus in worldwide sales in 2025, and the wider oncology, diagnostics and precision medicine markets are expected to approach about $750 billion by 2030. A fresh wave of inhibitor classes is now taking shape as the next major opportunity. Standing at…

The $410 Billion Drug Delivery Revolution: Why Drug Delivery May Be the Next Major Frontier in Oncology Innovation

The rapidly expanding nanomedicine and advanced drug-delivery market is attracting growing attention as pharmaceutical companies seek ways to improve therapeutic performance without relying solely on costly new drug discovery programs. By addressing challenges such as poor bioavailability, inconsistent pharmacokinetics and limited tumor penetration, nanotechnology-based delivery systems may unlock additional value from existing oncology drugs. Oncotelic Therapeutics’ Deciparticle(TM) platform and Sapu003 program illustrate how innovative drug delivery approaches could help reshape the future of cancer treatment. The search for new cancer therapies has traditionally focused on discovering entirely new drug candidates. While this approach has produced important breakthroughs, it is also…

WashU Vaccine Could Revolutionize Personalized Glioblastoma Treatment

Researchers at Washington University (WashU) Medicine have conducted a small clinical trial testing a new vaccine against glioblastoma. The formulation was administered to nine patients who had undergone surgery and chemo-radiation therapy to remove their tumors. The results of this study show promise in extending tumor-free survival for a disease that is currently hard to treat. The study, whose findings appeared in Nature Cancer, sought to test a novel DNA platform that designs a personalized vaccine aimed at preventing glioblastoma tumors from recurring. Glioblastoma grows aggressively and patients rarely survive for more than a year or two after diagnosis, and scientists have been racing to develop new treatments that…

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CDIO) Targets a $393 Billion Heart Disease Problem with Epigenetics and AI

For cardiovascular conditions, annual health care costs are forecasted to increase from $393 billion in 2020 to $1.4 trillion by 2050, almost quadrupling in size. What makes Cardio Diagnostics' approach distinct, and what gives the company a defensible clinical position, is its ability to detect coronary heart disease earlier and with high sensitivity. The company's recent commercial and regulatory milestones give additional shape to the investment thesis. Heart disease has held the grim distinction of being the leading cause of death in the United States for decades, and despite advances in medicine, the problem is getting worse, not better. According…

Why Men Need Sexual Health Help While Undergoing Cancer Treatment

About 90% of men that undergo prostate cancer treatment, and almost 50% of men treated for different kinds of cancer suffer a degree of sexual dysfunction or erectile challenges. Most hardly ever open up about these issues and they suffer in silence. This needn’t be so, because there are many ways through which sexual challenges can be addressed for men with cancer. Cancer treatment is taxing on the body. For example, radiation and chemotherapy can leave patients feeling nauseous and fatigued, which can affect sexual performance. Surgical procedures like those undertaken to manage prostate cancer can also damage nerves, causing sexual problems to arise. Most men don’t receive adequate sexual education…
