On a chemotaxis model with nonlinear diffusion modelling multiple sclerosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We investigated existence of global weak solutions for a system of chemotaxis type with nonlinear degenerate diffusion, arising in modelling Multiple Sclerosis disease. The model consists of three equations describing the evolution of macrophages ($m$), cytokine ($c$) and apoptotic oligodendrocytes ($d$). The main novelty in our work is the presence of

Autologous Nonmyeloablative Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis: Identifying Disease Risk Factors for Toxicity and Long‐Term Outcomes in a Prospective, Single‐Arm Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Two randomized trials for patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc) demonstrated an overall survival (OS) and event‐free survival (EFS) advantage of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) using CD34+ selected peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) compared with monthly cyclophosphamide (CY).

Disturbed Spatial WNT Activation—A Potential Driver of the Reticularized Skin Phenotype in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Little is known on the mechanisms necessary to maintain the physiologic adult human skin integrity. This study aims to quantitatively describe anatomic changes in systemic sclerosis (SSc)–skin compared with controls and investigate the underlying mechanisms.

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

The challenge of institutionalised complicity: Researching the pharmaceutical industry in the era of impact and engagement

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 44, Issue S1, Page 158-178, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The pharmaceutical industry plays a central role in the production of the drugs we use to treat most illnesses. It is immensely powerful and has received sustained attention from sociologists of health and illness, who have provided a critique of its influence and sometimes unethical behaviour.

Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Real‐world application of plasmapheresis for neurological disease: Results from the Japan‐Plasmapheresis Outcome and Practice Patterns Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 123-135, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Plasmapheresis is a well‐recognized treatment for autoimmune neurological diseases in Japan. However, the practice varies depending on the facility, and the actual treatment conditions are unclear. Methods To clarify real‐world conditions, a prospective observational study was conducted on patients with neurological diseases who ...

Antifibrotic effects of specific targeting of the 5‐hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) in murine models and ex vivo models of scleroderma skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with fibrotic remodeling of the skin and various internal organs. SSc is associated with the highest case‐specific mortality of all rheumatic autoimmune diseases with limited antifibrotic treatment options.
