Blow-up results for a class of first order nonlinear evolution inequalities
No full textWe investigate the non-existence of solutions to a class of evolution inequalities; in this case, as it happens in a relatively small number of blow-up studies, nonlinearities depend also on time-variable t and spatial derivatives of the unknown. The present results, which in great part do not require any assumption on the regularity of data, are completely new and shown with various applications. Some of these results referring to the problem u t = Δu + a(x) u p + λf(x) in R N , t > 0 include the non-existence results of positive global solutions obtained by Fujita and others when a ≡ 1 and f ≡ 0, Bandle-Levine and Levine-Meier when a ≡ x m and f ≡ 0, Pinsky when either f ≡ 0 or f ≠ > 0 and λ > 0, Zhang and Bandle-Levine-Zhang when a ≡ 1 and λ = 1

A Randomized Double-Blind Study to Investigate the Clinical Efficacy of Adding a Non-Migrating Antimicrobial to a Special Silk Fabric in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
No full textBackground: A randomized, double-blind study designed to compare the efficacy of DermaSilk (R) versus a sleeve of similar structure but minus the AEM 5772/5 antimicrobial finish in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of adding an antimicrobial finish to knitted silk garments on eczema severity and on pruritus in patients with AD. Methods: Thirty patients aged between 3 and 31 years (mean 14.2 +/- 7.7) were enrolled. The inclusion criterion was that the patients presented with active AD with eczematous lesions located on the arms without any sign of infection. Each participant was given a set of 4 pairs of knitted silk tubular sleeves marked with seams of different colours. Only one colour was treated with AEGIS AEM 5772/5. This information was unknown to both the clinicians and the patients/parents. At baseline (T0) and after 7 (T7), 14 (T14), 21 (T21) and 28 (T28) days, the patients were evaluated using the following methods: photographic assessment, local modified SCORAD index adapted for only the arm, and parent/patient assessment of pruritus measured with a visual analogue scale. Results: The mean local SCORAD index of both the DermaSilk- and the unmodified-silk-covered arms decreased significantly between baseline (T0) and the end of study (T28). However, while the DermaSilk group showed a constant decrease each week, the unmodified-silk group showed a significant decrease only in the first 2 weeks of the study. Also the decrease in pruritus values between T0 and T28 was greater for the DermaSilk group. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the importance of including the AEM 5772/5 finish to the specially knitted silk for a long-term improvement of atopic eczema symptoms
HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIA DURING TREATMENT WITH ADALIMUMAB IN PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
No full textA 39-year-old man with a 1-year history of psoriatic arthritis was treated with
adalimumab 40 mg every 2 weeks subcutaneously. After 8 weeks of treatment
the patient developed hypercholesterolaemia
(267 mg/dL), hypertriglyceridaemia
(449 mg/)and weakness; we
decided to continue treatment and after 3 months of therapy
the patient developed a severe weakness and a remarkable hypertriglyceridaemia
(689 mg/dL) while total serum cholesterol
levels remained unchanged (264 mg/dL). Because of
these important alterations we decided to discontinue therapy
with the biological drug and after 4 weeks the TG level was
220 mg/dL), cholesterol level was 224 mg/dL) and weakness
was notably improved
Treatment of palmoplantar pustular psoriasis with efalizumab: a quick response with early recurrence
No full textA 74-year-old Caucasian man with severe long-standing Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP) was treated with systemic therapy with efalizumab. Considerable improvement of PPP was observed after only 4 weeks of treatment and a complete recovery of daily activities was obtained after three months of therapy. A month later a sudden important
absence of side effects; adult; aged; blood testis barrier; case report; drug withdrawal; human; lab
reappearance of pustules were
noted. Systemic acitretin at an initial dose of 0.5 mg/kg/d
was started while continuing efalizumab. After 15 days an
almost complete disappearance of pustular lesions was reobserved. The dermatosis relapsed after suspension of the retinoid, despite ongoing efalizumab
Transient and slight thrombocytopaenia induced by etanercept during treatment of psoriatic arthritis
No full textA 61 years-old male patient suffering from psoriatic arthritis for over 12 years was treated with Etanercept 25 mg subcutaneously twice a week. From the second month of therapy, we observed a decrease of platelet count that achieved the minimal value at the third month of therapy (95 x 103/μl). Being the thrombocytopenia slight and asymptomatic we decided to continue the treatment After the third month of therapy the platelet count gradually increased until the forth month, when the number of platelets recovered the initial value. When we restart the therapy with etanercept,After two months of therapy PASI was 6,4, Ritchie index 3 and a decrease of platelet count was noted achieving the minimal value at the third month of treatment(94,4 x 103/μl)
