At present, we believe that ponesimod has little chance of becoming a leading treatment for RMS due to the availability of many alternative options and the timing of market access. Given its favorable risk-benefit and convenience profile, however, ponesimod might become a leading option among S1P receptor modulators used for RMS.
Published peer-reviewed data on long-term safety and efficacy are still lacking but have been collected and regulatory authorities expressed a favorable opinion to market access.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults, but the results for patients with AML are still unsatisfactory. The discovery of new mutations in AML, including IDH mutations, has opened the door for treatment with targeted agents. Ivosidenib is a selective, potent inhibitor of the IDH1 mutant protein.

This review summarizes the mechanism of action, safety profile and efficacy of ivosidenib for patients with IDH1-mutated AML. The authors then provide their expert perspectives on the use of the drug including their future perspectives.

Ivosidenib is a promising, most probably practice changing, new drug for the treatment of IDH1-mutated AML. Current phase III trials are ongoing to evaluate the addition of ivosidenib to the current standards-of-care. In the near future, more drug combinations are awaited. Challenges for the future include the development of resistance and establishing the duration of maintenance therapy.

Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is the primary viral cause of respiratory diseases, leading to bronchiolitis and pneumonia in vulnerable populations. The only current treatment against this virus is palliative, and no efficient and specific vaccine against this pathogen is available.

The authors describe the disease symptoms caused by hRSV, the economic and social impact of this infection worldwide, and how this infection can be modulated using pharmacological treatments, preventing and limiting its dissemination. The authors discuss the use of antibodies as prophylactic tools -such as palivizumab- and the use of nonspecific drugs to decrease the symptoms associated with the infection -such as bronchodilators, corticoids, and antivirals. They also discuss current vaccine candidates, new prophylactic treatments, and new antivirals options, which are currently being tested.

Today, many researchers are focused on developing different strategies to modulate the symptoms induced by hRSV. However, to achieve this, understanding how current treatments are working and their shortcomings needs to be further elucidated.

In such exploratory applications, the number of such hidden structures is of utmost importance since incorrect selection may imply the discovery of noisy artifacts that do not really represent a meaningful pattern. Although extremely important, selection of this number of latent factors, also known as low-rank, is very hard, and in most cases, practitioners and researchers resort to ad hoc trial-and-error or assume that somehow this number is known or is given via domain expertise. There has been a considerable amount of prior work that proposes heuristics for selecting this low rank. However, as we argue in this article, the state of the art in those heuristic methods is rather unstable and does not always reveal the correct answer. In this article, we propose the Normalized Singular Value Deviation (NSVD), a novel method for selecting the number of latent factors in Tensor Decomposition that is based on principled theoretical foundations. We extensively evaluate the effectiveness of NSVD in synthetic and real data and demonstrate that it yields a more robust, stable, and reliable estimation than state of the art. Finally, we provide an efficient compression scheme for facilitating the use of NSVD in very big tensors.
Asthma is one of the most frequent chronic diseases all over the world. Glucocorticoids (GCs), both inhaled (ICSs) and oral (OCSs), are the most effective treatment in asthma because they control symptoms and prevent exacerbations.

The present article reviews the new therapeutic indications of GCs for the treatment of asthma and focuses on new molecules and safety issues.

Most patients with asthma benefit from corticosteroid-based treatments. Side effects are mainly due to prolonged use of oral GCs, while they are minor with inhaled GCs. Interesting insights come from the new ICSs, which are characterized by lower oral bioavailability and higher lipophilicity and are more effective with less side effects. Recent trials have shown the efficacy of early use of ICSs in mild asthma. Furthermore, the possibility to prescribe targeted therapies using specific biomarkers in steroid-sensitive asthma can reduce doses and duration of treatment, while biological agents should be reserved for non-responding patients. All this evidence confirm the need to continue on the path toward precision medicine, in which the treatments are based on clinical and molecular traits.
