Nanofiltration combined with ozone-based processes for the removal of antineopl...

Over the past years, there has been an increasing concern about the occurrence of antineoplastic drugs in water bodies. The incomplete removal of these pharmaceuticals from wastewaters has been confirmed by several scientists, making it urgent to find a reliable technique or a combination of techniques capable to produce clean and safe water. In this work, the combination of nanofiltration and ozone (O3)-based ...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Osteochondrosis in Lusitano Purebred Horses

Objectives: This is the first comprehensive study in Lusitanos that aims to study the radiographic prevalence and localisation of osteochondrosis in different joints. Methods: A radiographic protocol of the metacarpo/ metatarsophalangeal, tarsocrural and femoropatellar joints was done in 302 Lusitanos, and findings were clas- sified using a 0-4 scale: 0 - normal joint contours; 1 – minimal (minimal and smooth f...

Lenalidomide: An Alternative Treatment for Refractory Behçet’s Disease and Rela...

Introduction: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic systemic condition characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, neurological and vascular manifestations, ocular and skin lesions, and a positive pathergy test. Mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (MAGIC) syndrome is rare and consists of features of BD together with relapsing polychondritis. The treatment of this syndrome is similar that of BD...

STARTVerso1: A Randomized Trial of Faldaprevir Plus Pegylated Interferon/Ribavi...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The efficacy and tolerability of faldaprevir, a potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor, plus peginterferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) was assessed in a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study of treatment-naïve patients with HCV genotype-1 infection. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned (1:2:2) to PegIFN/RBV plus: placebo (arm 1, n = 132) for 24 weeks; faldaprev...

IL10 Low-Frequency Variants in Behçet's Disease Patients

To explain the missing heritability after the genome-wide association studies era, sequencing studies allow the identification of low-frequency variants with a stronger effect on disease risk. Common variants in the interleukin 10 gene (IL10) have been consistently associated with Behçet's disease (BD) and the goal of this study is to investigate the role of low-frequency IL10 variants in BD susceptibility.

Gene Expression Profiling and Association Studies Implicate the Neuregulin Sign...

Behçet's disease (BD) is a complex disease with genetic and environmental risk factors implicated in its etiology; however, its pathophysiology is poorly understood. To decipher BD's genetic underpinnings, we combined gene expression profiling with pathway analysis and association studies. We compared the gene expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 15 patients and 14 matched contro...
