Pharmacogenetics in Type 2 Diabetes: Potential Implications for Clinical Practice [PDF]
Pharmacogenetic research aims to study how genetic variation may influence drug efficacy and/or toxicity; pharmacogenomics expands this quest to the entire genome. Pharmacogenetic findings may help to uncover new drug targets, illuminate pathophysiology,

Abstract Objectives Despite advances in the management of ambulatory paediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), challenges remain as many patients are refractory to therapy and some require colectomy. The aim of these guidelines is to provide an update on optimal care for UC through detailed recommendations and practice points. Methods These guidelines are an

COLLAB: A Global Survey of Clinical and Laboratory Assessment in Alopecia Areata by Hair Specialists
Guidelines for alopecia areata recommend that baseline investigations are unnecessary, but is this standard practice among hair loss experts worldwide? This global study showed high rates of laboratory testing of patients with alopecia areata, particularly related to autoimmune co‐morbidities.

Pharmacogenomics in children: advantages and challenges of next generation sequencing applications [PDF]
Pharmacogenetics is considered as a prime example of how personalized medicine nowadays can be put into practice. However, genotyping to guide pharmacological treatment is relatively uncommon in the routine clinical practice. Several reasons can be found

Proteomic changes in rat hippocampus and adrenals following short-term sleep deprivation [PDF]
peer reviewedABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: To identify the biochemical changes induced by sleep deprivation at a proteomic level, we compared the hippocampal proteome of rats either after 4 hours of sleep or sleep deprivation obtained by gentle handling. Because

Individualized immunosuppression in transplant patients: potential role of pharmacogenetics. [PDF]
The immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs have a narrow therapeutic index. Under treatment results in episodes of rejection leading to either damage or loss of the organ. Over immunosuppression increases the risk of

A phase II clinical trial of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and methotrexate in patients with BRCA defective tumours: a study protocol [PDF]
BACKGROUND: BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are critical in homologous recombination DNA repair and have been implicated in familial breast and ovarian cancer tumorigenesis. Tumour cells with these mutations demonstrate increased sensitivity to cisplatin and poly (
