Objective The SEMAPHORE trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) in glucocorticoid (GC)‐dependent polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). TCZ reduced GC use and disease activity at 24 weeks. This study aimed to assess relapse rates after stopping TCZ in patients achieving remission at week 24.

On Making Magnetic-Flux-Rope $Ω$ Loops for Solar Bipolar Magnetic Regions of All Sizes by Convection Cells [PDF]
We propose that the flux-rope $\Omega$ loop that emerges to become any bipolar magnetic region (BMR) is made by a convection cell of the $\Omega$-loop's size from initially-horizontal magnetic field ingested through the cell's bottom. This idea is based on (1) observed characteristics of BMRs of all spans ($\sim$ 1000 km to $\sim$ 200,000 km), (2) a ...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Adverse Events
Abstract In the last years, we assisted to a tremendous increase in therapeutic options for the management of cancers, with immunotherapy at the forefront of this innovation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been developed to enhance the activity of the immune system against cancer cells (1) and the number of approvals for ICIs has rapidly ...

A Case of Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy and Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis [PDF]
Sudden onset of horizontal diplopia in an elderly patient can be due to giant cell arteritis. Although the patient reported was a vasculopath, a concurrent headache, mild reduction in visual acuity, scalp tenderness and raised inflammatory markers lead ...

Asymmetric Oxidation of Giant Vesicles triggers Curvature-associated Shape Transition and Permeabilization. Running title: Oxidation of Vesicles produces Curvature [PDF]
(200 words) Oxidation of unsaturated lipids is a fundamental process involved in cell bioenergetics as well as in cell death. Using giant unilamellar vesicles and a chlorin photosensitizer, we asymmetrically oxidized the outer or inner monolayers of lipid membranes.

Unilateral multifocal choroidal ischemia revealing a giant cell arteritis: a case report
Temporal arteritis is a subacute systemic panarteritis with predilection over cranial arteries. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy with or without the typical sectoral choroidal ischemia is the most common complication.

ABSTRACT Background The superficial temporal artery (STA) and its terminal branches are crucial in various clinical procedures, including reconstructive surgeries and aesthetic interventions. Understanding the depth and course of these arteries is essential to minimize complications during such procedures.

New insights into the pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis [PDF]
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory chronic disease occurring exclusively in elderly individuals. Until recently, the disease has been considered a unique disease resulting from the interaction in the walls of susceptible arteries, between an ...
