Review, Journal: Drug Therapy for Acute and Chronic Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction with Hypertension: A State-of-the-Art Review. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 4, 2024 We also explored emerging drug therapies for HFpEF, such as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators, novel MRAs, and ivabradine...Furthermore, long-term studies are essential to assess the durability and sustained benefits of emerging drug therapies. Identification of novel targets and mechanisms underlying HFpEF pathophysiology will pave the way for innovative drug development approaches in the management of HFpEF with concurrent hypertension.

Journal: Sclerotic bone: a sign of bone reaction in patients with medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 4, 2024 Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction associated with antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates and denosumab...The pre and postoperative density showed no significant correlation to healing behaviour. The focus of the modelling osteotomy in surgical treatment of mature MRONJ lesions should be predominantly on the parts that appear necrotic and less dense in the panoramic radiograph as sclerotic areas might be an expression of bone reaction.

Journal: Adalimumab in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: Results from a Delphi investigation. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 4, 2024 Results from this Delphi study clearly show an overall consensus on the use of adalimumab in the management of PsO and PsA, particularly as first-choice for specific subpopulations (uveitis, IBD, hidradenitis suppurativa). Considering the cost-effectiveness of biosimilars within Italy, adalimumab may represent an effective and safe first-line treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe PsO or PsA, and a valid choice for switching after failure.

Journal: Screening effects of HCN channel blockers on sleep/wake behavior in zebrafish. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2024 Results of interest included shorter latency to daytime sleep at 0.1??M dose of Ivabradine (ANOVA, p: 0.02), moderate reduction in average activity at 30 ?M dose of Zatebradine Hydrochloride (ANOVA, p: 0.024) in daytime, and increased nighttime sleep at 4.5 ?M dose of ZD7288 (ANOVA, p: 0.036). Taken together, shorter latency to daytime sleep, decrease in daytime activity and increased nighttime sleep indicate that different HCN channel antagonists affected different parameters of sleep and activity.

Journal: Patient Out-of-Pocket Costs for Biologic Drugs After Biosimilar Competition. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 2, 2024 This cohort study used a national commercial claims database (Optum Clinformatics Data Mart) to identify outpatient claims for 1 of 7 clinician-administered biologics (filgrastim, infliximab, pegfilgrastim, epoetin alfa, bevacizumab, rituximab, and trastuzumab) from January 2009 through March 2022...Findings varied by drug. Findings of this cohort study suggest that biosimilar competition was not consistently associated with lower OOP costs for commercially insured outpatients, highlighting the need for targeted policy interventions to ensure that the savings generated from biosimilar competition translate into increased affordability for patients who need biologics.

Targeting inflammasome activation by sorafenib/regorafenib as strategy to enhance efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma therapy (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1534; This study unveils the inflammasome pathway as a promising and actionable therapeutic target to increase the efficacy of sorafenib/regorafenib therapy for HCC. The identified inflammasome signature in HCC and surrounding tissue associates with TKI administration, suggesting that targeting inflammasome activation, particularly in male patients, may overcome sorafenib/regorafenib resistance and enhance the overall efficacy of TKI treatments in HCC.
