Cost minimization analysis of BoNT-As in the treatment of upper limb spasticity and cervical dystonia [PDF]
Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections are recommended for the management of upper limb spasticity (ULS) and cervical dystonia (CD). The main aim of this cost minimization analysis (CMA) was to compare the annual cost per patient for three BoNT-As ...

The light chain of tetanus toxin inhibits calcium-dependent vasopressin release from permeabilized nerve endings [PDF]
The effects of tetanus toxin and its light and heavy chain subunits on vasopressin release were investigated in digitonin-permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals isolated from the neural lobe of the rat pituitary gland.

Aims Shunting (hypermethylating) thiopurine metabolism, characterized by excessive 6‐MMPR production and (sub)therapeutic 6‐TGN levels, poses a significant challenge in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study evaluates the metabolic outcomes of switching to low‐dose thiopurine with allopurinol (LDTA) or thioguanine (TG) in IBD ...

Clostridium botulinum Type E Toxins Bind to Caco-2 Cells by a Different Mechanism from That of Type A Toxins [PDF]
Cultured Clostridium botulinum strains produce progenitor toxins designated as 12S, 16S, and 19S toxins. The 12S toxin consists of a neurotoxin (NTX, 7S) and a non-toxic non-hemagglutinin (NTNH).
