Emerging Threats In Aquaculture: Bibliometric Analysis Of Aeromonas Sps. As An Emerging Pathogen

The concern regarding emerging diseases in aquaculture has received considerable global interest. This research focuses on the recent emergence of Aeromonads as a possible zoonotic pathogen that can impact both human and aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the current state of this issue. Bibliometric analysis is employed to evaluate the prevalence of Aeromonas in the field of aquaculture during the period spanning from 2004 to 2023. The investigation was performed with the VOSviewer software and the Dimension database. The present study investigates the patterns of publishing output and global collaboration throughout the last ten years. The results demonstrate a substantial and steady rise in the quantity of scholarly articles, accompanied by a noteworthy degree of collaboration among academics hailing from various nations.  This research investigates the global distribution of scholarly articles, with a specific emphasis on the countries of China and India, which have the highest levels of representation. The Chinese Academy of Fishery Science has attained the most substantial publication output among academic institutes. This study also examines the prominent academic journals, specifically Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Aquaculture, and Aquaculture Research, which serve as crucial platforms for the dissemination of scholarly informatio

Protocol for the insight study: a randomised controlled trial of single-dose tocilizumab in patients with depression and low-grade inflammation

INTRODUCTION: Observational studies indicate a potentially causal role for interleukin 6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, in pathogenesis of depression, but interventional studies based on patients with depression have not been conducted. Tocilizumab, anti-inflammatory drug, is a humanised monoclonal antibody that inhibits IL-6 signalling and is licensed in the UK for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The main objectives of this study are to test whether IL-6 contributes to the pathogenesis of depression and to examine potential mechanisms by which IL-6 affects mood and cognition. A secondary objective is to compare depressed participants with and without evidence of low-grade systemic inflammation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a proof-of-concept, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Approximately 50 participants with International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) diagnosis of depression who have evidence of low-grade inflammation, defined as serum high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) level ≥3 mg/L, will receive either a single intravenous infusion of tocilizumab or normal saline. Blood samples, behavioural and cognitive measures will be collected at baseline and after infusion around day 7, 14 and 28. The primary outcome is somatic symptoms score around day 14 postinfusion. In addition, approximately, 50 depressed participants without low-grade inflammation (serum hs-CRP level <3 mg/L) will complete the same baseline assessments as the randomised cohort. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by the South Central-Oxford B Research Ethics Committee (REC) (Reference: 18/SC/0118). Study findings will be published in peer-review journals. Findings will be also disseminated by conference/departmental presentations and by social and traditional media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN16942542; Pre-results

Th17 cell responses in spondyloarthritis.

Targeting IL-17 has become an important option in the current treatment of spondyloarthritis (SpA). To place this therapeutic advancement in context, we review the discovery and properties of this cytokine, noting those which predispose to inflammation and led to it being considered as an attractive target for the treatment of arthritis, especially SpA. The processes that regulate the differentiation of IL-17-producing cells, particularly Th17 CD4+ T cells, have been investigated thoroughly, including the role of IL-23, as these point to additional potential therapies as alternatives to direct IL-17 blockade. IL-17 is a critical cytokine in combatting infection, particularly caused by fungi, but it also has an important role in maintaining epithelial barrier functions, especially in the gut. Both these functions help predict possible adverse effects of IL-17 blockade. Finally, we review the current evidence for the use of IL-17 blockade in various forms of SpA and briefly speculate on future developments

Proceedings of the 2017 GRAPPA Collaborative Research Network Meeting

The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Collaborative Research Network (CRN) is an endeavor that aims to address gaps in the knowledge of the etiopathogenesis and management of psoriatic disease by best using the large community of experienced investigators who are already collecting rich clinical phenotype data and biologic samples using validated techniques. Exemplar rheumatology and dermatology projects will inform strategies to implement the CRN, while input and funding from government organizations, charities, and industry will shape the CRN. The key immediate priorities to establish the CRN are discussed herein and include (1) strategies for building infrastructure to collect and store biosamples and associated clinical data, (2) best practices for sample collection and storage, (3) approaches to engage the GRAPPA community of investigators and industry to collaborate most effectively on shared priorities, and (4) agreement on a funding strategy. The following 4 CRN candidate flagship research areas were identified: (1) predictors of treatment response in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and cutaneous psoriasis (PsC) to permit personalized and stratified medicine approaches; (2) predictors of structural damage and disease severity, linking with the existing PsA BioDAM project; (3) predictors of PsC progressing to PsA to enable earlier intervention and possibly halt progression to PsA; and (4) comorbidity prevalence and effect on clinical outcomes in psoriatic disease. The collaboration and momentum provided by a GRAPPA-CRN will offer more than the sum of its individual contributing centers. A CRN will permit high-quality research that can more effectively address questions pertinent to patients, clinicians, scientists, industry, and governments
