Journal: Common molecular basis for MASH and hepatitis C revealed via systems biology approach. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 We extracted 10 hub genes between MASH and hepatitis C, and performed a series of analyses on the genes. Molecular docking and in vitro studies have revealed that Budesonide can effectively suppress the progression of MASH and hepatitis C. This study can provide novel insights into the potential drug targets and biomarkers for MASH and hepatitis C.

Review, Journal: Pain Management During Intrauterine Device Insertion in Nulliparous Women: A Scoping Review. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2024 Alternatively, 500 mg of naproxen sodium taken prior to IUD insertion showed a significant reduction in post-IUD insertion pain (p=0.01) but did not show any significant reduction in pain during cervical grasping or during IUD insertion into the uterus...Furthermore, cervical softening and dilation with dinoprostone 3 mg and misoprostol 3 mg demonstrated a reduction in pain during all stages of IUD insertion and after insertion (p<0.01)...Additionally, there has been some research examining the impact of verbal analgesics, which involves the provider using a calm, soothing voice and slow speech to put the patient at ease, and the role that anxiety about IUD insertion can influence pain, but further research is needed to determine its significance. This research provides valuable insight into enhancing the improvement of pain during and after the insertion of IUDs for nulliparous women.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 16, 2024 P4 Based on this randomised controlled trial, abatacept treatment was associated with a better response than ACT in the RF and/or ACPA-positive subgroup at 24 weeks, but this was no longer seen at 48 weeks; adding SE allele-related genetic markers did not strengthen the association. Moreover, ACPA, RF and SE allele-related genotypes were not, alone or in combination, associated with clinical responses of importance sufficiently strongly to warrant implementation in clinical practice.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 5, 2024 On day 35 after treatment, severe neutropenia necessitated treatment interruption and required 23?days for neutrophil recovery with a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor agent. Owing to the severe hematologic toxicity caused by extensive radiation therapy for multiple bone lesions, treatment prioritization by lesion and avoiding irradiation of the red bone marrow is essential.

Induction Cost Per Responder of Brodalumab Compared With Other Biologic Therapies for Patients With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis in Canada () - Nov 4, 2024 - Abstract #ISPOREU2024ISPOR_EU_3175; The CPR was estimated as the drug acquisition costs during the induction period multiplied by the number needed to treat (NNT) for achieving PASI 75, 90, or 100 for the following treatments: adalimumab (innovator and SEB), brodalumab, bimekizumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept (innovator and SEB), guselkumab, infliximab (innovator and SEB), ixekizumab, risankizumab, secukinumab, tildrakizumab, ustekinumab (innovator and SEB). These results demonstrate that brodalumab has the lowest induction CPR across all PASI outcomes compared to other biologic therapies, including SEB therapies, thus providing the best value for money for patients, prescribers, and payers.
