In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell

High‐Efficacy Treatment in Neuromyelitis Optica Specturm Disorder Patients With Seropositive AQP4 Antibodies—A Real‐World Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of high‐efficacy treatments (HET) and low‐efficacy treatments (LET) in NMOSD patients with anti‐aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐ab). Methods In this multi‐center study, we analyzed 183 AQP4‐ab seropositive NMOSD patients who received immunosuppressive treatments (IST).

Celecoxib decreases prostaglandin E\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e concentrations in nipple aspirate fluid from high risk postmenopausal women and women with breast cancer [PDF]

, 2006
Background Celecoxib inhibits PGE2 production in cancerous tissue. We previously reported that PGE2 levels in nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) and plasma were not decreased in women at increased breast cancer risk who received celecoxib 200 mg twice daily ...

A Validated Model to Predict Severe Weight Loss in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe weight loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is common, multifactorial, and associated with shortened survival. Using longitudinal weight data from over 6000 patients with ALS across three cohorts, we built an accelerated failure time model to predict the risk of future severe (≥ 10%) weight loss using five single‐timepoint ...

Real‐World Comparison of High‐Efficacy Versus Non‐High‐Efficacy Therapies in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The choice of the first disease modifying treatment (DMT) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a topic of great interest, and whether high‐efficacy DMTs should be the first choice remains debated. We compared treatment outcomes (no evidence of disease activity [NEDA] and its components) between treatment‐naïve relapsing–remitting MS (RRMS ...

Pyrogenic and neuroinflammatory properties of zymosan and its potential as an alternative to live yeast in antipyretic drug testing

FACETS, 2019
Zymosan, an immunogenic cell wall extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has potential for use as an experimental pyrogen. However, the short-lived sickness responses noted with intraperitoneal and intra-articular administration of zymosan limits ...

Balancing the cyclooxygenase portfolio

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2006
“Medicine used to be simple, ineffective and relatively safe ... Now it is complex, effective and potentially dangerous” — C. Chantler Few issues associated with new drug development have generated as much attention and controversy as the introduction and then withdrawal from general use ...

Early Intensive Versus Escalation Approach: Ten‐Year Impact on Disability in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the long‐term impact of early intensive treatment (EIT) versus escalation (ESC) strategies using high‐efficacy disease‐modifying therapies (HE‐DMTs) on disability progression in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods This observational study included 4878 RMS patients from the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Register ...
