We aimed to investigate PASS achievement within 4 weeks of treatment with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (Jakinibs) and its association with treatment response after 4 and 12 weeks in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.
Methods: We recruited consecutive RA patients starting baricitinib or tofacitinib.
Article Synopsis
- Epidemiological studies indicate that the 4CMenB (Bexsero) vaccine might offer some protection against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is related to the meningococcal bacteria.
- Research in mice shows that while Bexsero triggers a strong immune response, it does not protect everyone, prompting a deeper investigation into the immune mechanisms involved.
- The study reveals that Bexsero vaccination leads to a significant immune response, involving various antibody levels and T cell subsets, potentially identifying factors that contribute to immune protection against gonorrheal infections.
Volar locking and angular stability plate for treatment of comminuted scaphoid fractures: a case series of 44 cases.

Background: The primary method employed worldwide for the treatment of scaphoid fractures is screw fixation. However, in unstable and comminuted fractures, percutaneous fixation could produce complications due to technical challenges, such as improper axis positioning, inaccurate screw length measurement, intra-articular screw penetration, and impingement. Alternative open approaches for the surgical management of scaphoid fractures have been proposed, and in recent years, a new specific volar locking plate for the treatment of scaphoid fractures has been developed.
