We strive to put patient priorities first in our research, advancing our understanding of sleep conditions and the needs of those with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.
Narcolepsy is a chronic, neurologic sleep disorder, and people living with the condition are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) and cardiometabolic (CM) comorbidities. New expert consensus recommendations provide more clarity on these risks, including obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia as well as hypertension and offer actionable behavioral, therapeutic, and dietary strategies that aim to holistically mitigate these risks.
HER2 plays an important role in cell growth and survival, but many cancers, including gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), can overexpress this protein, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and impacting prognosis. While not everyone diagnosed with a GEA will be HER2-positive, it is helpful to test for HER2 as the presence of this protein can help inform the treatment approach.
