Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of vonoprazan 10 mg compared with 20 mg in patients with erosive esophagitis. Seventy-three patients with erosive esophagitis were randomly divided into two groups either vonoprazan 20 mg (n = 37) or 10 mg (n = 36). They were administered each dose for 4 weeks as the initial treatment followed by maintenance treatment with 10 mg for 8 weeks. The primary endpoints were mucosal healing rate and symptom relief at 4 weeks. The secondary endpoint was symptom relief at 12 weeks after the maintenance treatment. Mucosal healing was assessed endoscopically, and symptom relief was assessed using the FSSG score. At 4 weeks, the endoscopic healing rates of the 20 mg and 10 mg groups were 94.6% and 94.4%, respectively. The FSSG scores of the 20 mg and 10 mg groups were significantly decreased in both treatment groups from 13 (4-39) to 4 (0-25) and 14 (4-40) to 3 (0-29), respectively. At 12 weeks, the scores further decreased to 2 (0-13) and 2 (0-26), respectively. The vonoprazan 10 mg group showed a similar therapeutic effect to the 20 mg group in mucosal healing at 4 weeks and in symptom relief throughout the study period. When stratified by esophagitis grading, these findings were still demonstr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
