Rituximab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody medication used in treating various cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphomas as well as immunologic conditions like granulomatosis with polyangiitis. It disrupts and decreases the number of B-cells, which causes an immunosuppressive state. This can promote the growth of numerous rare and opportunistic pathogens, one of which is .

Signal detection and analysis of sulfasalazine adverse reaction events based on the US FDA adverse event reporting database.

Expert Opin Drug Saf

Background: Based on real data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), we explored and evaluated the adverse reactions (ADRs) of sulfasalazine (SSZ) in the first quarter of 2004-2023 to provide a reference basis and early warning for the safe use of SSZ in the clinic.

Research Design And Methods: The reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM) were used as measures of SSZ-associated adverse events (AEs) signals, mining for potential positive signals between SSZ and AE.

Results: In this study, a total of 5327 case reports related to SSZ in the last 20 years involving 25 system organ classes (SOCs) were collected in FAERS.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an uncommon disorder that causes inflammation of the blood vessels in the nose, throat, lungs, and kidneys. We describe a 20-year-old female who presented to the emergency room with acute left facial paralysis, worsening left-sided otalgia secondary to a hyperemic tympanic membrane with middle ear granulation tissue, nasal obstruction with associated intermittent epistaxis, and cough. A high index of suspicion for GPA helped make an early diagnosis with subsequent initiation of treatment.

Offshore wind farms (OWFs) pose new anthropogenic pressures on the marine environment as the erosion of turbine blades release organic and inorganic substances with potential consequences for marine life. In the present study, possible effects of the released particles and their chemical constituents on the metabolic profile of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, were investigated, utilizing H NMR spectroscopy. In the lab, mussels were exposed for 7 and 14 days to different concentrations (10 and 40 mg L) of microplastic (MP) particles which were derived from cryo-milled rotor blade coatings and core materials (glass fiber polymer, GFP).
