Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, and Safety of Upadacitinib in Pediatric Patients With Polyarticular‐Course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: An Interim Analysis of an Open‐Label, Phase 1 Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This work aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of upadacitinib, an oral selective JAK inhibitor, in pediatric patients with polyarticular‐course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pcJIA). Methods In an open‐label, phase 1 study (SELECT‐YOUTH), enrolled patients, aged 2 to <18 years with pcJIA, received body weight–based ...

State-dependent complexity of the local field potential in the primary visual cortex [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The local field potential (LFP) is as a measure of the combined activity of neurons within a region of brain tissue. While biophysical modeling schemes for LFP in cortical circuits are well established, there is a paramount lack of understanding regarding the LFP properties along the states assumed in cortical circuits over long periods.

Incidence of and Risk of Mortality After Hip Fractures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Relative to the General Population

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Osteoporosis, a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), increases the risk of hip fracture, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Fracture risk estimates in patients with RA treated with contemporary treatment strategies are lacking.

Stabilizing membrane domains antagonizes n-alcohol anesthesia [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, Volume 111, Issue 3, 9 August 2016, Pages 537-545, 2016
Diverse molecules induce general anesthesia with potency strongly correlated both with their hydrophobicity and their effects on certain ion channels. We recently observed that several n-alcohol anesthetics inhibit heterogeneity in plasma membrane derived vesicles by lowering the critical temperature ($T_c$) for phase separation.

Fast glycorrhachia and cerebrospinal fluid protein as predictors of sensory block in anesthesia with subarachnoid Ropivacaine [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Identify if glycorrhachia and cerebrospinal fluid protein could influence the time of sensory block to T10, the duration and the metameric block's level, after a standard dose of Ropivacaine. METHODS: 80 patients, ASA I - III undergoing to

Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

The free energy of biomembrane and nerve excitation and the role of anesthetics

, 2018
In the electromechanical theory of nerve stimulation, the nerve impulse consists of a traveling region of solid membrane in a liquid environment. Therefore, the free energy necessary to stimulate a pulse is directly related to the free energy difference ...

Association of Changes in Hand Pain With BMI, Employment, and Mental Well‐Being Over Four Years in Patients With Hand Osteoarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to characterize patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA) with deteriorating or improving hand pain and to investigate patients achieving good clinical outcome after four years. Methods We used four‐year annual Australian/Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index (AUSCAN) pain subscale (range 0–20) measurements from the Hand OSTeoArthritis in ...

Local Anesthetics Disrupt Energetic Coupling between the Voltage-sensing Segments of a Sodium Channel [PDF]

Local anesthetics block sodium channels in a state-dependent fashion, binding with higher affinity to open and/or inactivated states. Gating current measurements show that local anesthetics immobilize a fraction of the gating charge, suggesting that the ...
