The association between systemic inflammation as measured by calprotectin and autoantibody load in rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.

Development of a nalmefene formulation suitable for a community‐use auto‐injector

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Time to onset of reversal is critical when treating opioid‐induced respiratory depression and hypoxia. This study aimed to develop a formulation of the opioid antagonist nalmefene with an increased absorption rate and reduced time to onset of reversal following intramuscular administration. Methods Several absorption enhancers were screened in rats,
