Two independent systems were developed to produce antibodies to diatrizoate. In the rabbit model polyclonal antibodies were produced that showed cross-reactivity to certain other contrast agents, analogues and serum proteins. In the mouse model monoclonal antibodies were produced that reacted only with diatrizoate, metrizamide, and ovalbumin. These studies demonstrated the potential antigenicity of contrast medium.

Antibodies targeting either the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), such as galcanezumab, fremanezumab, and eptinezumab, or the receptor (erenumab) have been approved for the prevention of episodic and chronic migraine. Although widely used and generally effective, a proportion of patients discontinue treatment due to lack of efficacy. In both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, all anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have consistently demonstrated comparable efficacy and tolerability, suggesting a pharmacological class effect.

Background: Migraine progression, particularly from episodic to chronic migraine (CM), increases disease burden and healthcare costs. Understanding the new concept of "Medication Underuse Headache" should encourage the health care provider to consider early intervention with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies. Galcanezumab given early in the course of the disease, may prevent migraine chronification and have a robust response, moreso than when initiated in later stages of migraine.

Low-risk febrile neutropenia: does combined chemotherapy/immune checkpoint inhibitor necessitate a change in approach?

Support Care Cancer

Department of Acute Medicine, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Wilmslow Road, Manchester, UK.

Purpose: Management of patients with low-risk febrile neutropenia in an outpatient setting guided by the MASCC score is proven to be safe and effective. Most patients on ambulatory low-risk febrile neutropenia pathways are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Recent data has shown benefit of the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to cytotoxic chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with early triple-negative breast cancer.

Brodalumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the interleukin-17 receptor A, is primarily used to manage moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Although it has demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety in clinical trials, the strict inclusion and exclusion criteria may not fully reflect its safety profile in real-world settings. As its use becomes more widespread in clinical practice, understanding its safety in real-world applications is crucial.

To investigate how PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) affect the left ventricular function in mice with myocardial infarction (MI) and through what mechanisms they exert their effects. In vivo experiments were conducted using 27 female BALB/c mice, which were divided equally into 3 groups. Cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound.
