Comparison of drug survival rates for tumor necrosis factor antagonists in rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND Persistence of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an overall marker of treatment success. OBJECTIVE To assess the survival of anti-TNF treatment and to define the potential predictors of drug discontinuation in RA, in order to verify the adequacy of current practices. DESIGN An observational, descriptive, longitudinal, retrospective study. ...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor-α in nasal allergy
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) by radio-immunoassay to evaluate TNF-alpha in nasal allergy. There was no significant difference either between the mean concentrations of TNF-alpha in nasal secretions from the patients with perennial nasal allergy and those of normal subjects, or between the TNF-alp...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor antagonists: structure, function, and tuberculosis risks.
Our understanding of the infection risks presented by tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists has continued to evolve in the 10 years since these drugs were first introduced. Several recent studies have confirmed the increased risk of tuberculosis posed by TNF antibodies compared with soluble TNF receptor, particularly with regard to reactivation of latent infection. Structural and functional ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the survival effect of tumour necrosis factor-α in human neutrophils
Granulocyte apoptosis has been proposed as a fundamental, injury-limiting granulocyte-clearance mechanism. As such, inhibition of this process may prevent the resolution of inflammation. Our previous studies have shown that TNFα (tumour necrosis factor-α) has a bi-modal influence on the rate of constitutive neutrophil apoptosis in vitro, causing early acceleration and late inhibition of this pr...
متن کاملAnti-Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Therapy in Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disease of the gastro-intestinal tract. Manifestations of the disease may be severe, and lead to long-term therapy with a variety of medications and/or surgery. There are two main classifications of the disease, including the relapsing-remitting chronic active variety, and the penetrating or fistulising variety. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha ...
