Analgesic Effects of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Inhibition in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain [PDF]

, 2006
Cannabinoid-based medicines have therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain. Augmentation of levels of endocannabinoids with inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is analgesic in models of acute and inflammatory pain states.

Immunological Profiling suggests an Association between Treg dysfunction and Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Pain is the hallmark symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) and its biological drivers remain poorly understood. While the role of innate immunity in OA has been extensively studied, the involvement of adaptive immunity, in particular regulatory T cells (Tregs), is not well understood. Methods We performed omics profiling of peripheral blood from 46

OGFRL1 deficiency causes CRMO via pathological osteoclastogenesis, with therapeutic response to TNF inhibitor

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives To verify the pathogenesis of the OGFRL1 loss‐of‐function variant (c.30del, p. F10Ffs*110) identified in a CRMO patient and investigate the underlying mechanism. Methods Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify and confirm the variant.

The integration of the British Pharmacological Society's prescription safety assessment into the WHO 6‐step model of rational pharmacotherapy in a Turkish medical school

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims At Koç University School of Medicine, a one‐week rational pharmacotherapy (RPHM) programme, modelled after WHO 6‐step, has been introduced in the fourth‐year curriculum to improve prescription skills. For efficient problem‐based learning (PBL) sessions on a prespecified topic, students need to brush up on basic pharmacology knowledge, so we ...

The persistence of chronic opioid use in patients with inflammatory bowel disease—A nationwide cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pain is common in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and a substantial proportion develop chronic opioid use (COU). We examined the persistence of COU over time and identified factors predicting persistent use. Methods This nationwide Danish cohort study included patients with an initial period of COU (definition: ≥3 ...
