Interplay between on-demand treatment trials for hereditary angioedema and treatment guidelines.

Over the past two decades, guidelines for the on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks have undergone significant evolution. Early treatment guidelines, such as the Canadian 2003 International Consensus Algorithm, often gated on-demand treatment by attack location and/or severity. Pivotal trials for on-demand injectable treatments (plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor [C1INH], icatibant, ecallantide [US only], recombinant C1INH), which were approved in the US and EU between 2008-2014, were designed accordingly.

Clinical burden, treatment, and disease control in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria: Real-world evidence.

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is an unpredictable inflammatory skin condition with substantial clinical burden that affects 0.23-0.78% of the United States population.

Evolution of the conformational dynamics of the molecular chaperone Hsp90.

Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone of central importance for protein homeostasis in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells, with key functional and structural traits conserved from yeast to man. During evolution, Hsp90 has gained additional functional importance, leading to an increased number of interacting co-chaperones and client proteins. Here, we show that the overall conformational transitions coupled to the ATPase cycle of Hsp90 are conserved from yeast to humans, but cycle timing as well as the dynamics are significantly altered.

[Position paper: Open-source technology in the treatment of people living with diabetes mellitus-an Austrian perspective : Technology Committee of the Austrian Diabetes Association].

People living with diabetes mellitus can be supported in the daily management by diabetes technology with automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and improve glycemic control as well as the quality of life. Due to barriers in the availability of AID-systems, the use and development of open-source AID-systems have internationally increased. This technology provides a necessary alternative to commercially available products, especially when approved systems are inaccessible or insufficiently adapted to the specific needs of the users.
