Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-4/13 signaling pathway, effectively treats moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Common side effects include injection site reactions, conjunctivitis, and respiratory infections. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with severe AD involving the periocular and chin regions, genital areas, arms, and legs (Eczema Area and Severity Index [EASI]: 24, itch Visual Analog Scale [VAS]: 8) who showed significant improvement after initiating dupilumab therapy. However, following ketoprofen intake for headache relief, she developed a lupus-like erythematous maculopapular rash on the periocular and malar regions. Immunological tests (ANA, ENA) and photopatch testing ruled out autoimmune or allergic causes. Dupilumab was stopped, and treatment with oral prednisone and cetirizine led to complete resolution. This case highlights a potential drug interaction between dupilumab and ketoprofen, emphasizing the need for awareness of paradoxical facial erythema reactions in patients undergoing dupilumab therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Large studies indicate a connection between higher alcohol use and lower pain, suggesting that increased pain intensity leads to greater alcohol consumption and hazardous drinking.
- This study aimed to investigate how acute postoperative pain affects alcohol intake in mice by using a 2-bottle choice experiment after laparotomy surgery.
- Results showed that male mice increased their alcohol intake post-surgery, a trend not seen in females, and ketoprofen reduced this uptake, highlighting that various factors like sex can influence the alcohol-pain relationship.

Volatile amines are reagents commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing of intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and drug products as participating regents for chemical reactions and optimization of product yield. Due to their compound specific daily allowable intake, residual volatile amines are required by regulatory agencies to be monitored and controlled in pharmaceutical products intended for human consumption. However, the accurate quantification of residual volatile amines in pharmaceutical entities can often be challenging as these analytes may chemically react and/or interact with the sample matrix.

Objective: Inflammation and pain management in postpartum hyperprolific sows is currently an important animal welfare issue in the swine industry. The present study investigates effects of ketoprofen treatment on the incidence of post-parturient disorders, feed intake, colostrum yield, piglet colostrum intake, colostrum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and piglet mortality rate during the first 3 days of postnatal life.
Methods: In total, 61 Danish Landrace×Yorkshire crossbred sows and their offspring (n = 833) were included in the experiment.
