Pharmacokinetic characterization and exposure-response relationship of crovalimab in the COMMODORE 1, 2 and 3 and COMPOSER trials of patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.

Aims: Crovalimab is a novel C5 inhibitor administered first intravenously and then subcutaneously in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) naive to complement inhibition or switching from eculizumab or ravulizumab. Crovalimab showed efficacy and safety comparable to eculizumab in the pivotal COMMODORE 2 and supporting studies.

Methods: We characterized crovalimab pharmacokinetics and the relationship between exposure pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, efficacy and safety endpoints using pooled data (healthy volunteers [n = 9], naive [n = 210] and switched [n = 211] patients).

Association between penicillin allergy labels and serious adverse events in hospitalized patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: To date, several studies have demonstrated that erroneous labeling of Penicillin allergy (PAL) can significantly impact treatment options and result in adverse clinical outcomes, while other studies have reported no negative effects. Therefore, to systematically evaluate these effects and investigate the association between adverse clinical outcomes and the Penicillin label, we conducted this meta-analysis.

Method: Searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to 13 July 2024.

Geriatric nursing competence of clinical nursing staff at different hospital levels in Chongqing, China: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to survey the geriatric nursing competencies of clinical nursing staff in Chongqing City, China, and provide suggestions to enhance these competencies.

Methods: This study was conducted in 204 hospitals in Southwest China from December 24, 2022 to January 7, 2023. The "Geriatric Nursing Competence of Clinical Nurse Investigation Tool" was used to explore factors that influence geriatric nurses' competencies via stratified sampling.

Membrane Proteins in Nanodiscs: Methods and Applications.

Membrane proteins, a principal class of drug targets, play indispensable roles in various biological processes and are closely associated with essential life functions. Their study, however, is complicated by their low solubility in aqueous environments and distinctive structural characteristics, necessitating a suitable native-like environment for molecular analysis. Nanodisc technology has revolutionized this field, providing biochemists with a powerful tool to stabilize membrane proteins and significantly enhance their research possibilities.

Sweet Syndrome: A Retrospective Analysis of 21 Patients.

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare condition characterised by fever, leucocytosis, and painful skin lesions. This retrospective study analysed 21 patients with Sweet syndrome treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2015 to June 2022. The study aimed to investigate the aetiology, clinicopathological features, and treatment outcomes.
