Metabolic and crystal arthropathies: 112. Rapid Improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life in Gouty Arthritis Patients Treated with Canakinumab (ACZ885) Compared to Triamcinolone Acetonide [PDF]
Background: Canakinumab, a fully human anti-IL-1β antibody has been shown to control inflammation in gouty arthritis. This study evaluated changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients treated with canakinumab or triamcinolone acetonide ...

Targeting inflammation to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a realistic clinical prospect? [PDF]
Data from basic science experiments is overwhelmingly supportive of the causal role of immune-inflammatory response(s) at the core of atherosclerosis, and therefore the theoretical potential to manipulate the inflammatory response to prevent ...

New Biologic and Small Molecule Therapies for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease that has historically been underdiagnosed and, until recently, under‐researched. Furthermore, the pathophysiology of HS is complex, and not fully understood. Just three biologic medications—adalimumab (anti‐TNF‐α), secukinumab (anti‐IL17A) and bimekizumab (anti‐IL17A/F) are licensed

This study shows that 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) modulate inflammasome‐related gene expression in individuals with obesity. HIIT increased AIM2, MEFV, CARD16 and CARD18 expression, with CARD16 upregulation supporting reduced inflammation through inhibition of caspase‐1 activation and lower IL‐1β levels.
