Efficacy of Ultrasound‐Guided Intercostal Nerve Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine for Treating Postherpetic Neuralgia in Adult Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound‐guided intercostal nerve block (ICNB) with liposomal bupivacaine (LB) comparing ropivacaine‐dexamethasone (RD) for treating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in adult patients. A total of 108 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive ICNB with LB or ICNB with RD.

Early Remission of Cerebrospinal Fluid Interleukin‐6 After Initial Immunotherapy Predicts a Good Prognosis in Autoimmune Encephalitis

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Autoimmune encephalitis therapy requires adjusting the regimen based on therapeutic response; however, clinical indicators of this response remain unknown. Aim To determine the predictive capability of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), electroencephalography (EEG), and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying responders to ...

Infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted therapies

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
In this context, infections associated with each biologic and targeted drug are summarized to inform the stratification of RA patients, including the characteristics of the susceptible patients and their concomitant therapy. We aim to provide a benefit‐risk analysis for clinical decision, and vital indications for the prevention of highly correlated ...

Modelling Impact of Different Varicella Immunisation Strategies Upon Introduction in the Swedish National Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)
