Type II grass carp reovirus (GCRV-II) with high pathogenicity and infectivity causes severe hemorrhagic disease, which leads to extensive death in the grass carp and black carp aquaculture. However, the early invasion portal remains unclear. In this study, we explored the invasion portal, time, and pathway of GCRV-II by immersion infection in grass carp.

Introduction/objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by ongoing inflammation and degradation of synovial joints. The oral JAK inhibitor, upadacitinib, is approved for RA. We conducted an integrated safety analysis of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) in patients from Latin America (LATAM) versus the rest of the world (RoW).

is a highly infectious pathogen, which causes high mortality rate in frog farming. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a rapid and sensitive detection method. In this study, two rapid and specific methods including recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) and fluorescent probe-based recombinase polymerase amplification (exo RPA) were established to effectively detect , which can accomplish the examination at 38 °C within 30 min.

Methods: In this Phase 3b, multisite (US, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and India) trial, patients aged 13-17 years with JFM and a score of ≥4 on the Brief Pain Inventory-Modified Short Form: Adolescent Version (BPI) 24-h average pain severity score were randomized to duloxetine or placebo for the 13-week double-blind period.
Objectives: Atomoxetine (ATX) once daily was compared with placebo (PBO) in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at 12 and 24 weeks.
Methods: Patients were randomized to PBO (n = 234) or ATX (60-100 mg; n = 268) for 24 weeks following a 2-week on-label (40 mg for 3 days then 80 mg) or slow (40 mg for 7 days then 80 mg) titration. After 24 weeks, PBO patients were rerandomized to either ATX titration strategy.
Objective: Validation of the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) that measures aspects of ADHD in adults.
Method: Psychometric properties of the AISRS total and AISRS subscales are analyzed and compared to the Conners' Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-Investigator Rated: Screening Version (CAARS-Inv:SV) and the Clinical Global Impression-ADHD-Severity Scale using data from a placebo-controlled 6-month clinical trial of once-daily atomoxetine.
Results: The AISRS has high internal consistency, good convergent, and discriminant validities; modest divergent validity; and small ceiling and floor effects (
Background: To evaluate the effect of atomoxetine (ATX) on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid social anxiety disorder in adults.
Methods: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, conducted in adults with ADHD and social anxiety disorder. Patients received 40-100 mg ATX (n=224) or placebo (n=218) for 14 weeks following a 2-week placebo lead-in period.
Spinosad is a novel mode-of-action insecticide produced from a family of natural products derived from fermentation of the actinomycete, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Separate studies were undertaken to determine the minimum effective dose of spinosad given orally for the treatment of experimentally induced flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis) on dogs, and to assess any potential impacts of feeding canned or dry food at the time of dosing. Both were randomized block (blocked by gender and pre-treatment flea counts), blinded parallel-arm studies, with dogs selected on health and ability to maintain pre-treatment flea populations.
