TASSO DI PERSISTENZA IN TERAPIA E FATTORI PREDITTIVI DI SOPRAVVIVENZA DEGLI INIBITORI DELL’INTERLEUCHINA 1 NELL’ARTRITE IDIOPATICA GIOVANILE A ESORDIO SISTEMICO

INTRODUZIONE L’introduzione dei farmaci biologici ha rivoluzionato l’approccio terapeutico nell’Artrite Idiopatica Giovanile a esordio Sistemico (SoJIA), modificando la storia naturale di questa malattia e migliorandone l’outcome globale. METODI Obiettivo principale dello studio era analizzare il tasso di persistenza in terapia (DRR) degli inibitori dell’Interleuchina (IL)-1 nei pazienti affetti da SoJIA. Obiettivi secondari dello studio erano: (1) esplorare l’influenza della linea biologica di trattamento, degli eventi avversi, dello specifico agente anti-IL-1 e del cotrattamento con disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs) sul DRR; (2) identificare eventuali fattori predittivi ass…

Progress towards the first measurement of charm baryon dipole moments

Electromagnetic dipole moments of short-lived particles are sensitive to physics within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics but have not been accessible experimentally to date. To perform such measurements it has been proposed to exploit the spin precession of channeled particles in bent crystals at the LHC. Progress that enables the first measurement of charm baryon dipole moments is reported. In particular, the design and characterization on beam of silicon and germanium bent crystal prototypes, the optimization of the experimental setup, and advanced analysis techniques are discussed. Sensitivity studies show that first measurements of $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^+$ baryon dip…

A national multicentre study on severe paediatric recurrent idiopathic pericarditis treated with IL-1 blockers: appropriateness of the standard of care and pros and cons of anti-IL-1 treatments

Recurrent pericarditis (RP) is a rare cause of morbidity in children. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoids and colchicine are the standard of care in adults. Recently, anakinra has been proven to be effective in patients with steroid-dependence and colchicine resistance.
