Review of patient-reported outcomes in multiple myeloma registrational trials: highlighting areas for improvement

Blood Cancer Journal, 2021
Over the past 13 years, there have been advances in characterizing the patient experience in oncology trials, primarily using patient-reported outcomes (PROs). This review aims to provide details on the PRO measures and analyses used in multiple myeloma (

Picoliter-volume inkjet printing into planar microdevice reservoirs for low-waste, high-capacity drug loading. [PDF]

, 2017
Oral delivery of therapeutics is the preferred route for systemic drug administration due to ease of access and improved patient compliance. However, many therapeutics suffer from low oral bioavailability due to low pH and enzymatic conditions, poor ...

Lociq provides a loci-seeking approach for enhanced plasmid subtyping and structural characterization

Communications Biology, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring for public health is relying more on whole genome sequencing to characterize and compare resistant strains. This requires new approaches to describe and track AMR that take full advantage of the detailed data ...

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]

, 2018
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

Peptide Nucleic Acid Probe Detection of Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genes Associated with Drug Resistance

BioTechniques, 2002
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious public health problem. Many of the specific gene mutations that cause drug resistance in M. tuberculosis are point mutations. We are developing a PCR-peptide nucleic acid (

Intracerebroventricular drug administration

Translational and Clinical Pharmacology, 2017
Among the various routes of drug administration, perhaps the least studied is intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration. This route has been shown to be particularly useful in administering to the central nervous system (CNS) drugs that do not cross the blood-brain barrier readily.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about
