Article Synopsis
- Biologics are effective treatments for psoriasis, and this study focuses on patients who have used the same biologic for 10 years or more, referred to as "ultra-long users."
- In the BioCAPTURE cohort, 30.5% of eligible patients reached this ultra-long treatment duration, with ustekinumab being the most common biologic among them.
- The study found that many ultra-long users had comorbidities, required dose adjustments, and achieved relatively low complete clearance rates of psoriasis, but still showed a high retention rate on the treatment for over 15 years.
Consumption of nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) by athletes induces a number of beneficial physiological health effects, which are linked to the formation of nitric oxide (NO) from nitrate. However, following a secondary pathway, NO may also lead to the formation of -nitroso compounds (NOCs), which are known to be carcinogenic in 39 animal species. The extent of the formation of NOCs is modulated by various other dietary factors, such as vitamin C.
