Avacopan for the Treatment of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis.
The C5a receptor inhibitor avacopan is being studied for the treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. In this randomized, controlled trial, we assigned patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis in a 1:1 ratio to receive oral avacopan at a dose of 30 mg twice daily or oral prednisone...

Risk of colorectal cancer in patients prescribed statins, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors: nested case-control study.
Several studies suggest that statins prevent some cancers, with one study finding a 47% reduction in colorectal cancer risk after >or=5 years of regular use. A nested case-control study was conducted within 454 general practices in the United Kingdom using the QRESEARCH database. Cases with colorectal cancer were diagn...

Health benefits of an adverse events reporting system for chronic pain patients using long-term opioids.
Safety data from long-term opioid therapy in the real world has been poorly studied in chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). The aim was to design a pharmacovigilance data recording system and assess whether participation in this recording system improves pain management, enhancing patient's health status. A pharmacovigilanc...

Omeprazole preferentially inhibits the metabolism of (+)-(S)-citalopram in healthy volunteers.
Citalopram (CITA) pharmacokinetics are enantioselective in healthy volunteers and the metabolism of (+)-(S)-CITA to (+)-(S)-DCITA is dependent on CYP2C19. Omeprazole is a potent CYP2C19 inhibitor. This study indicates that omeprazole induces a loss of enantioselectivity in the CITA pharmacokinetics because of the selec...

We sought to determine the effect of over the counter low dose cholecalciferol (LDC) and high dose ergocalciferol (HDE) on the vitamin D levels in MS patients. We retrospectively evaluated serum 25-hyd...

Efficacy and safety of the single pill combination of amlodipine 10 mg plus valsartan 160 mg in hypertensive patients not controlled by amlodipine 10 mg plus olmesartan 20 mg in free combination.
For patients with moderate hypertension (grade 2, defined as systolic blood pressure [SBP] 160-179 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure [DBP] 100-109 mmHg), current guidelines recommend initial combination therapy and rapid dose-adjustment to achieve blood pressure goal. In this study we investigated the efficacy and t...

Laryngopharyngeal reflux: prospective cohort study evaluating optimal dose of proton-pump inhibitor therapy and pretherapy predictors of response.
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is frequently treated with empiric proton-pump inhibitors (PPI), but the optimal dosing and duration is unknown. We performed an open label prospective cohort study to evaluate whether twice-daily (BID) PPI is more effective than once-daily (QD) PPI for the treatment of LPR. Patients diag...

Soluble platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule (sPECAM)-1 is increased in polycystic ovary syndrome and related to endothelial dysfunction.
Striking evidence indicates endothelial impairment in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but the mechanisms linking PCOS status to cardiovascular risk remain elusive. Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1 is a soluble (s) signaling molecule involved in inflammation and angiogenesis with predictive value f...

Ezetimibe effectively lowers LDL-cholesterol in cardiac allograft recipients on stable statin therapy.
We investigated tolerability and efficacy of ezetimibe treatment (10 mg/d) in 25 heart allograft recipients already on stable statin therapy. Total cholesterol (TC), low-density cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), immunosuppressant drug levels, laboratory and clinical parameters w...

Mediational g-formula for time-varying treatment and repeated-measured multiple mediators: Application to atorvastatin's effect on cardiovascular disease via cholesterol lowering and anti-inflammatory actions in elderly type 2 diabetics.
Modern causal mediation theory has formalized several types of indirect and direct effects of treatment on outcomes regarding specific mediator variables. We reviewed and unified distinct approaches to estimate the "interventional" direct and indirect effects for multiple mediators and time-varying variables. This stud...

Is ACE inhibition with lisinopril helpful in diabetic neuropathy?
Thirteen diabetic patients with hypertension (mean diastolic blood pressure 96.2 +/- 1.1 mmHg) were included in a study to assess the effects of lisinopril (20 mg day-1) on measures of nerve function. Patients had nerve conduction velocity (NCV), temperature discrimination threshold (TDT), and vibration perception thre...

A placebo-controlled dose-ranging study of lansoprazole in the management of reflux esophagitis.
We compared the efficacy of three different doses of the proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole in the management of reflux esophagitis. Two hundred ninety-two patients with endoscopically confirmed reflux esophagitis were enrolled in a double-blind, multicenter study and were randomized to lansoprazole 15, 30, or 60 mg or...

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of raised intragastric pH on the absorption of theophylline from a sustained-release formulation. Six healthy male volunteers participated in the cross-over randomised study and on one of two occasions were pretreated with 240 mg omeprazole, administered in thre...

Peptic ulcer disease risk in chronic kidney disease: ten-year incidence, ulcer location, and ulcerogenic effect of medications.
We aimed at determining peptic ulcer disease (PUD) incidence among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients during 1998-2008, compared to patients without CKD, and at examining associations between CKD and PUD. Data for 1998-2008 were extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. The annual PUD...

Short-term augmentation of fluoxetine with clonazepam in the treatment of depression: a double-blind study.
Because selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) require 2-4 weeks to reach efficacy, the authors determined whether clonazepam augmentation of fluoxetine is superior to fluoxetine alone at the beginning of treatment for major depression. Eighty adult outpatients with major depression who were rated as "moderate...
