Study finds cockroach allergy often driven by shared proteins across arthropods

Researchers analyzed molecular sensitization patterns in Polish patients with perennial allergic rhinitis who tested positive for cockroach allergens. They found that most apparent cockroach allergies were driven by cross-reactive proteins shared with mites, seafood, and other arthropods rather than true cockroach-specific allergens.

Defining the limits of immunotherapy in early small-cell lung cancer

Immunotherapy given during and after chemoradiation did not improve survival for study participants with limited-stage, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) according to the results of an international clinical trial, NRG-LU005, led by NRG Oncology in collaboration with the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. The results are published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Google’s AI medical assistant shows doctor-level diagnostic reasoning in real clinic study

A prospective feasibility study in an urgent care clinic tested a conversational AI system (AMIE) with 100 real patients to evaluate whether it could safely collect medical histories before doctor visits. The supervised AI showed no safety stops, produced diagnostic reasoning comparable to clinicians in blinded reviews, and improved patients’ attitudes toward medical AI.
