Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitor‐induced arrhythmias: Mechanistic insights from clinical and preclinical studies

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, but their efficacy continues to be limited by immune‐related adverse events. Among these, ICI‐induced cardiac arrhythmias are increasingly recognised as a major adverse reaction, encompassing a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes, including conduction blocks, atrial fibrillation and

Effects of Meal Consumption on Isotonic Lingual Endurance in Healthy Adults: A Multi‐Institutional Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Isotonic tongue endurance was measured pre‐ and post‐meal using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) in healthy younger (18–35 years) and older (≥ 65 years) adults. Older adults demonstrated greater isotonic endurance and longer mealtimes, with no sex differences in endurance.
