Eczema is also known as a form of Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Males and females are not equally affected by AD, and studies have shown that AD is more common among males during infancy and childhood. However, around puberty, there is a shift towards more females than males having AD and this female predominance continues into adulthood. Eczema can impact any women during pregnancy. In fact, it is the most common prenatal skin condition. A majority of women with eczema in pregnancy have never it previously diagnosed. Actually, approximately 60%–80% of prenatal eczema patients have no prior history of the condition. Eczema in pregnancy may occur because of changes in hormones and the immune system. During pregnancy, the body's immunity shifts a bit and this shift in immunity can make the mother more sensitive to allergens and dermal manifestations vis inflammatory mediators. Those with preexisting common hay fever or other allergies before pregnancy may be at higher risk of developing eczema during pregnancy. Eczema isn't just about “itchy skin”, for some it has severe skin manifestations and affects quality of life. While biologics are generally not initiated in pregnancy except for very severe cases, some women may be on this medication when ENTERING pregnancy. Are they safe to use? We have new SURPRISING data from September 2024 which will help us in our shared-decision making with our patients. Listen in for details.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. Today we have some exciting news to share with you. Eli Lilly has recently entered into a collaboration with Tokyo-based Prism Biolab to develop small molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. This partnership aims to target protein-protein interactions, which play a critical role in various disease processes. By developing drugs that can disrupt these interactions, there is potential for novel therapies for diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. Lilly will be paying up to $660 million to gain access to Prism Biolab's proprietary platform.In another partnership, Boehringer Ingelheim has teamed up with Phenomic AI to develop targets for stroma-rich cancers. Stroma-rich cancers are known for their resistance to treatment, so by targeting the stroma, there is hope that the efficacy of cancer therapies can be enhanced. Boehringer Ingelheim will be paying $9 million upfront, with the potential for up to $500 million in milestone payments.Moving on to some interesting research, real-world data suggests that Eli Lilly's tirzepatide may achieve stronger and faster weight loss compared to Novo Nordisk's semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. Healthcare analytics firm Truveta analyzed electronic health records and found promising results for tirzepatide.In regulatory news, the FDA has launched an investigation into malignancies linked to CAR-T therapies.

BOTOX exposed - what Dr Nixon discovered under the microscope and what that means to your health What he found in other Injectables like Dupixent - prescriptions to ‘treat Eczema' which spiked post jabs (skin issues = parasite infections…this is what has been discovered under the miscope of the ‘shots') Are there any alternatives to these Injections? This is a bit of a heavy episode as we discuss truths that are not offered in the form of ‘Informed Consent' from the ‘professionals' in the Western Medicine community, so we are here to bring them to you and you can decide what to do from there. Dr David Nixon recently walked away from his medical practice of 25 years to pursue and disclose the truth of what is in these so called ‘vaxseens' and now has been on a mission to share what he's found in others such as Botox and other Western Medicine pharmaceuticals administered in IV form. IN THIS EPISODE WE SHARE WHAT HE FOUND… LINKS REFERENCED DURING THE SHOW: https://drdavidnixon.com//1/en/topic/about-me https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/comirnaty-sample-from-august-5th https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/comirnaty-sample-from-august-4th https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/comirnaty-sample-220802-as-seen-on https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/this-is-a-chip https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/construction-video-revised https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/borg-chip-2-re-visited https://davidnixon.substack.com/p/back-to-botox FROM HIS WEBSITE: I graduated MB, ChB from the University of Otago in New Zealand in 1992. The purpose of this website is to share my observations and opinions with respect to the Covid-19 injectables. With respect to Colloidal Gold – trials haven't been conducted yet on people. The recent discussions are based on initial findings on a slide Clearly there has been a lot of things about the Covid-19 pandemic that hasn't made sense unless the events of the last three years are seen in a broader context and we consider other global agendas. It was never possible that we know that the Covid-19 injectables are safe in pregnancy, let alone effective and I am pleased to say that I actively always discouraged my pregnant patients not to have this medication. Clearly the official narrative was that these injectables were safe in pregnancy. As a medical professional I was constantly bombarded with this message from every official organization. And besides C0vid19 was such a threat during pregnancy that “you must have the vaccination” – really??? I became increasingly aware of the resounding unison of “there is nothing to see here” despite the number of groups and individuals who were posting concerning images online. So in mid 2022 I purchased a darkfield microscope and started looking at my own blood and that of patients. I also started looking at what we were injecting into people and I started voicing my concerns about what I was seeing.
This week we talk struggles with GLP-1 drug shortages and what that might mean for Novo/Lilly competitors; Regeneron and Sanofi positive results for Dupixent in COPD. Plus, Merck buys Caraway, Beigene's deal with Ensem, ups and downs for Flagship. Join BioSpace's Lori Ellis, Greg Slabodkin and Tyler Patchen as they discuss the most important biopharma news this week.
Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. Advocate Health experienced slower growth in the third quarter of 2023, although it remained profitable for the first nine months of the year. A review of the 340B drug discount program found mixed evidence on how hospitals use the funds. Some studies suggest that hospitals use the savings for purposes unrelated to patient care. Welltok, a patient engagement company, experienced a data breach in the spring that exposed the data of nearly 8.5 million people. Healthcare bankruptcies have increased in 2023 due to the expiration of federal COVID-19 funding, higher interest rates, regulatory changes, and labor shortages. The average per-worker cost of health benefits rose by 5.2% in 2023, with inflation and rising prescription drug costs being contributing factors. Hospitals are losing millions of dollars due to staff nurse turnover.Now let's move on to some exciting developments in the pharmaceutical industry. Regeneron and Sanofi are planning to seek new approval for their blockbuster drug, Dupixent, in the US after successful results from a phase 3 trial testing the drug in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The trial showed that Dupixent could reduce attacks and improve lung function in patients with the respiratory condition. Meanwhile, GSK's cancer drug Blenrep has received a surprise trial win. The drug was withdrawn from the US market last year due to negative data, but new study results may open the door to a relaunch. Xenon's depression drug, Xen1101, missed the main goal of a mid-stage trial. However, the company believes there were enough positive findings to warrant further study of the drug in depression. Novo Nordisk is planning to expand its French plant in a push to increase production of GLP-1 drugs. These developments come as dozens of cell and gene therapies are expected to receive FDA approval in 2024, leading to a need for enhanced patient access and cost management strategies.In other news, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is looking to bring back its antibody-drug conjugate Blenrep for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. A year after withdrawing the drug from the US market, GSK has presented promising Phase III data that supports its potential comeback. The results showed that Blenrep, when used in combination with other therapies, significantly improved progression-free survival compared to standard of care alone. GSK plans to submit the data to regulatory authorities for review. Novo Nordisk is warning the EU of potential shortages of its GLP-1 drugs and is expanding production at its French site to meet the high demand for its drug Ozempic. 89bio has unveiled bullish long-term data for its nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) candidate pegozafermin. The drug showed statistically significant improvements in treating patients with NASH, positioning it as a potential treatment option for the condition. Overall, these developments highlight GSK's potential comeback with Blenrep, Dupixent's efficacy in COPD, Novo Nordisk's efforts to meet high demand for Ozempic, and 89bio's progress in developing a treatment for NASH.That's all for today's episode of Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay tuned for more updates in the world of Pharma and Biotech.
Le CAC 40 a voisiné son seuil d'équilibre une bonne partie de la séance avant de céder en fin de séance pour clôturer à -0,37% vers les 7.265 points et 2,2 milliards d'euros échangés. Un indice qui hésite désormais sur la direction à suivre après avoir regagné plus de 5% en un mois et aligné trois séances de hausse en fin de semaine dernière.C'est d'ailleurs un peu la même ambiance de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, au sortir d'une semaine réduite à Wall Street. A 17h45, le Dow Jones recule de 0,2% et le Nasdaq est proche de son point d'équilibre, autour de 12.265 points.Dans l'actualité, un grand nombre de responsables de la Fed doivent s'exprimer cette semaine et les investisseurs attendent également la publication du "Livre beige" ainsi que l'indice PCE des prix à la consommation pour octobre.Valeurs en hausseLes foncières sont à nouveau à l'honneur, à l'image d'Argan ou Gecina sur le SBF 120 ou d'Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.X-Fab Silicon se distingue également. Elior a toujours faim de hausse : +57% sur 1 mois et +1,42% aujourd'hui. C'est Deutsche Bank qui se ressert. Le bureau d'analyse de la banque allemande est passé de "conserver" à "acheter" avec un objectif de cours fixé à 3,40 euros.Sur le CAC 40 en plus de URW, Orange, Engie et L'Oréal grimpent également tout comme Sanofi. Le groupe pharmaceutique veut demander l'autorisation aux Etats-Unis d'utiliser le Dupixent, son anti-inflammatoire le plus vendu, dans le traitement de la BPCO. A l'appui de cette demande, un deuxième essai de phase 3 a montré que le médicament réduisait les exacerbations de la maladie de 34%.Valeurs en baisseToujours très animé le cours d'Orpea s'inscrit en baisse de 12%Début de semaine compliqué pour Atos. Selon BFM TV, le groupe de services informatiques a entamé des négociations pour revoir les termes de son accord avec Daniel Kretinsky pour la vente de ses activités historiques. Ce dernier ne sera finalement pas actionnaire d'Eviden, la branche dédiée notamment à la cybersécurité et aux supercalculateurs. Atos aurait en effet finalement renoncé à une telle option face au refus de certains élus et de fonctionnaires du ministère des Armées compte tenu du caractère souverain de ces activités.Euroapi et SES Imagotag sont également sous pression.Sur le CAC 40 Thales et LVMH signent les plus forts replis. LVMH qui recule désormais de 15% sur six mois.Les banques sont aussi sous pression à l'image de BNP Paribas ou Société Générale

Bradley shared his journey of overcoming eczema through holistic means, including dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments. He outlined his daily routine, which included a predominantly meat-based diet, occasional fruits, sauna use, regular exercise, and a visit to the ocean. Bradley also shared his experiences with autoimmune disorders, topical steroid withdrawal, and his refusal of a new drug, Dupixent, due to its potential side effects. He emphasized the legitimacy of leaky gut as a real condition despite some medical professionals' discrediting it. Moreover, Bradley expressed his excitement about expanding his horizons through writing. He advocated for a natural healing process and distrusted big pharmaceutical drugs. He also discussed his concerns about nutrient deficiencies in a lion diet and the benefits of an animal-based diet. Bradley's dietary views seem to be contentious, with some viewers supporting his stance and others warning against it.

Dupixent has transformed the lives of people with moderate to severe eczema, but will patients need to use it indefinitely? In this episode we explore tapering Dupixent (also known as dupilumab) with two researchers from University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands that have created a patient-led roadmap for successful tapering. They are: Pediatric Dermatologist Dr. Marlies de Graaf, Head of the National Expertise Center of Atopic Dermatitis in Children; and Dr. Celeste Boesjes, who is a PhD candidate and Medical Doctor.Research Discussed in this PodcastSuccessful tapering of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis patients with low disease activity: a large pragmatic daily practice study from the BioDay registryAssociation of serum dupilumab levels at 16 weeks with treatment response and adverse effects in patients with atopic dermatitis: a prospective clinical cohort study from the BioDay registryPatient‐centered dupilumab dosing regimen leads to successful dose reduction in persistently controlled atopic dermatitisDupilumab in daily practice for the treatment of pediatric atopic dermatitis: 28‐week clinical and biomarker results from the BioDay registryDupilumab dose spacing after initial successful treatment or adverse events in adult patients with atopic dermatitis: a retrospective analysis
We discuss the theatrical merits and actual implications of Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel's appearance before a committee led by Sen. Bernie Sanders. We also talk about the latest news in the life sciences, including Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' latest data for its powerhouse drug Dupixent, an about-face for Sarepta Therapeutics, and how the FDA appears to view biomarkers in neurological diseases.
Today, it's all about the eyes, which are somewhat the extension of our brain, so treating ANY condition with them can be scary. I've gotten a lot of questions from listeners about dupilumab (Dupixent) and the side effects specifically when it comes to the eyes. So to dive in on this topic, I brought in today's guest, Dr. Roselie Achten, since her PhD focuses on ocular surface disease in atopic dermatitis patients before and during dupilumab treatment. Dr. Roselie Achten is a medical doctor and PhD student at the Department of Dermatology at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, and I am so excited to have her on the show! You can find some of her research findings in the links section below. Have you ever experienced any side effects with your eyes after starting dupilumab? I'd love to hear about it in the comments! In this episode: Stats on how many patients develop Dupixent eye side effects (aka. dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease) Eye symptoms of patients commonly complain about How long does it typically take to develop eye problems from Dupixent? What puts you more at risk for developing Dupixent eye side effects? What are your options if you develop Dupixent eye side effects? Can reducing the use of Dupixent help? Quotes “We were also quite surprised by the fact that the majority of the patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis already had characteristics of the ocular surface disease. So of the 70 patients that were analyzed, 90% of them already had characteristics of ocular surface disease before the start of Dupilumab treatment." [11:09] "If patients have these signs and symptoms of dupilumab associated ocular surface disease, we first start with tacrolimus skin ointment for the external eyelids. We also start with ketotifen, which is an antihistamine eye drop... also the artificial tears, it's more for if you experience a dry eye sensation, it could lead to improvement of that symptom for a little time."

Après un démarrage dans le rouge, le CAC 40 s'est finalement décidé à aller de l'avant, porté par des publications d'entreprises. Le CAC 40 termine la séance sur une hausse de 0,46% vers les 6273 points. Du côté des valeurs, Airbus a pris la tête du CAC 40 et gagne 3,46%. Le groupe a révélé des résultats solides sur les 9 premiers mois de l'année. Sanofi avance de 3,25%. Le laboratoire français a revu à la hausse ses perspectives pour 2022 après avoir réalisé des ventes en nette croissance au troisième trimestre. Des ventes toujours dopées par son médicament phare Dupixent mais aussi par les vaccins. En troisième position on retrouve Danone qui gagne 2,9% après avoir relevé ses objectifs financiers pour l'année en cours. Le géant de l'agroalimentaire a enregistré une forte progression de son chiffre d'affaires au troisième trimestre tiré par la hausse des prix. A l'inverse, ST Micro est toujours sanctionné par les marchés : -2,22%. Pour rappel, le groupe anticipe un ralentissement de la croissance de ses ventes au cours de la dernière partie de l'année. De son côté, Renault perd 1,54%, plombé par les mauvais résultats de Volkswagen. Sur le SBF 120, Safran s'offre une progression de 2,38%. Le motoriste a publié un chiffre d'affaires de 5 milliards d'euros réalisé entre juillet et septembre, en progression de presque 30% par rapport à la même période de 2021 A l'inverse, gros trou d'air pour Air France-KLM, plus de 13 %. Pourtant, le groupe a vu ses résultats bondir sur la période allant de juillet à septembre, bénéficiant de la forte demande des touristes. Mais les analystes se montrent sceptiques et pointent des comptes encore fragiles. D'autant que le groupe a abaissé ses prévisions pour le quatrième trimestre. Grosse chute également pour Solutions 30. Tout comme Orpea qui n'en finit plus de dégringoler. Enfin, on termine par les marchés américains. Après Meta, c'est au tour d'Amazon de décevoir. Le groupe s'attend à un ralentissement de la croissance de ses ventes sur les derniers mois en raison de la dégradation du pouvoir d'achat des consommateurs. En attendant au moment de la clôture les 3 indices de la Bourse de New York évoluent dans le vert. Le CAC 40 termine la séance sur une hausse de 0,46% vers les 6273 points.
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Av2ePEF8L3w For the first time, a biologic drug relieved the nagging itch of moderate-to-severe eczema for babies and preschoolers. The monoclonal antibody dupilumab, better known to TV audiences as Dupixent, drives a 75%+ reduction in eczematoid itch and better sleeping in at least half the children 6 months through 5 years who took it for 4 months. These findings come from a Northwestern University-led Phase 3 study of the drug in 162 kids 6 months to 6 years of age at 31 sites across North America and Europe. The drug has already been approved for older children, teens, and adults with eczema. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01539-2/fulltext #eczema #dupixent #itch #sleep #infants #toddlers

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple is a holistic pediatrician, best-selling author, mother of 3, and award-winning speaker. In this episode, she shares what eczema is and how to prevent and cure it. She also speaks about the dangers of mold toxicity and how to start the process of food elimination. Just when we think we know about the boundaries of ADHD, we get reminded that it can expand to other different types of illnesses in the body. Skin health is just as important as brain and gut health because our skin is an external reflection of our inner body. Healing the skin starts with healing the gut and the brain. Tune in to find out more about eczema and find ways to fight and prevent it! Key Takeaways: [3:38] What eczema is and how it is correlated with ADHD [6:33] Prescribed medicine for eczema [12:35] Quebec Ice Storm study [14:40] The condition of the skin is a reflection of the condition of the gut [22:24] Detrimental effects of mold on the skin and lungs [28:28] There is no simple solution to curing eczema How To Connect With Dr. Temple: Website: https://www.dranamaria.com/ All socials: Dr. Ana Maria Temple Memorable Quotes: “Eczema is usually red, patchy… it looks like flame, it looks like red hot lava (I'm a pediatrician, so I talk in kid terminology). A lot of times in babies, we'll see their cheeks be red hot lava… eczema is when those red cheeks don't go away and they get worse and worse.” “Now we're eating strawberries and now the red cheeks are flaring even more, now we're eating bananas and avocado (and I'm not beating up on food, I'm just giving examples). And then all of a sudden, the redness from the cheeks is now red hot lava neck.” “We have kids that have dry skin but it's not just dry skin. It's dry skin and then they sit and they scratch and they dig and they have trouble sleeping at night and they're crying throughout the day. It seems whatever they eat, they flare up. They go outside, they flare up.” “I get very weary because a lot of the prescribed medications are topical steroids, oral antibiotics, and of course, the latest and greatest, Dupixent - and I say that with a lot of sarcasm.” “Modern medicine does work for some people but we're talking ‘some people,' and turning it into all people… we do not have this much data on this medication; we do not know the long-term effects of Dupixent.” “What a lot of people don't know is that the medications that are linked to the increased appearance of eczema is actually Tylenol. We give babies Tylenol and it's no big deal… Teething is overly diagnosed by the parents because they want to put a name to the fussiness. And then they're like, ‘Let me give them Tylenol.' Tylenol is sugar and food dyes.” “They took the pregnant ladies that were displaced in the ice storm and these mamas had to live with cousins and uncles… and they compared these moms to other pregnant moms in Canada. They followed them around for 15 years and they looked to see what was the endpoint? Did anything happen to their children? And they saw an increase in ADHD, neurological developmental issues, delay in neurocognitive function, speech delays, verbal delays, autism, eczema, asthma, diabetes, and cancer.” “Without healing the gut, paying attention to what's in your child's diet, in your own diet if you're nursing, it is very difficult to cure the skin with just a cream.” “I'm not saying no to processed foods. It's how much are you really having and then we're going to turn those around and read the ingredients. If you can't read it, don't eat it.” Dana Kay Resources: Website - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/adhdthriveinstitute Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/74302454/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://adhdthrivemethod.com/masterclass-rego-page ADHD Parenting Course - https://adhdthrivemethod.com/adhd-thrive-jump-start-parenting-4-adhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/
Mark Singer 58, anaplastic thyroid cancer, Barrington, RI In the early stages of the pandemic, Mark knew something was wrong when he noticed a small lump on his neck. Soon after, he went to an ER for testing and received a diagnosis of anaplastic thyroid cancer, a very serious form of the disease which prior to 2017 had a one-year survival rate of 10% -20%. After Googling “Best Cancer Hospitals in New England,” Dana-Farber moved to the top of his list for care. Mark started with a year of immunotherapy treatments with Nivolumab, also known as Opdivo, and Dupixent, which he still currently takes, for any side effects. Immunotherapy is a new cancer treatment that allows the body's own immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells. Mark had a rapid and profound response and has shown no evidence of disease for over a year. In addition to immunotherapy, his care team was able to remove a cancerous tumor from his thyroid, several cancerous lymph nodes, and perform vocal-chord repaire surgery. Today, Marks feels mostly back to his pre-cancer self. You can find him boating around Lake Winnipesaukee or riding on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He's supported by his wife, Mary, and their two children, Michael and Maggie.
Novavax Emergency Use authorization; the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine gets approval in adolescents; submission for oral contraceptive to be switched to over the counter; Astepro nasal spray gets over-the-counter approval; and Dupixent shows benefits in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.
If you've ever dealt with a skin rash like eczema, you know the itch and the feeling of embarrassment or anger perhaps. Now imagine being the center of attention as a pageant queen being partially judged on how you look and carry yourself. Today's guest had to figure out how to navigate her journey with eczema all while competing in pageant after pageant. Abby Cramond is a junior at Louisiana State University majoring in Digital Advertising and minoring in Textiles Apparel and Merchandising. She is a digital creator and entrepreneur who manages multiple businesses' media pages and the owner of her own jewelry boutique. Abby wants to share her journey with eczema, not only to spread awareness, but to make others feel comfortable in their own skin and that they are not alone. Join us as we chat about her very personal, inspirational journey with eczema, all while being in the spotlight. Have you struggled with finding the true cause of your skin condition but finally found peace or found help in some way? Let me know in the comments! In this episode: Abby's eczema journey Various medications Abby tried with her doctor Her personal advice to get through the mental anguish The ONE thing that has worked so far in helping her eczema How Abby's standard of "what is beauty" has changed Quotes “...It's not the fact that you have eczema and then you just put the thing (on) they give you and it goes away. It's this never-ending process of finding out what product works best for you and what truly kills a problem at the core.” [1:16] “After the steroids, we were like, 'I can't be using cream anymore. There has to be another option.' So we went to the dermatologist and they're like, 'All right, we have this thing called Dupixent,' and listed, gave the whole rundown of it all. And I was like, I'm so desperate, I do not care what I need to do. So I gave it a shot, and it's the only thing that has worked for me so far.” [14:04] Links Follow Abby on Instagram| TikTok | Twitter Healthy Skin Show #050: How To Help Kids With Eczema w/ Dr. Sheila Kilbane Healthy Skin Show #098: Why Hope Is So Important When It Comes To Eczema (And How To Find It) w/ Camille Knowles Healthy Skin Show #151: How Eczema Changed My Life (So I Could Help Others) w/ Rakhi Roy, MS, RD, LDN Healthy Skin Show #230: {RESEARCH} Mindfulness Stress Reduction Benefits For Chronic Skin Problems Like Eczema + Psoriasis w/ Jessica Maloh

Vidcast: https://youtu.be/V4K0AKnztjM Here are the quickie reports about cutting edge medical and healthcare discoveries this 1st week of June, 2022. A new Swiss perfusion technique keeps donor livers alive and well for up to 3 days while they await transplantation into recipients. In the past, the liver would only tolerate a 12 hour maximum residence outside the human body. The additional time allows transportation for longer distances as well as the laboratory and tissue testing necessary to assume a good match and long-term function. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01354-7 From NY's Rockefeller University comes the news that a new synthetic antibiotic called cilagicin capably neutralizes even the nastiest, drug resistant bacteria including MRSA and C. difficile. The drug is based on a computer prediction regarding the type of molecule a bacterium would create to protect itself from its more aggressive cousins. Cilagicin works effectively by combining 2 molecules that together irreversibly weaken bacterial cells walls. Existing antibiotics have only one such molecule. The drug works in mice and is non-toxic to humans. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn4213 A spoon full of sugar……. You know the rest. MIT bioengineers and Harvard gastroenterologists have a better way to make the medicines go down for those with difficulties swallowing, say after a stroke, or an aversion to pills and capsules as do most kids. Their better mousetrap is a gel-based drug delivery platform using gels composed of plant-based oils including sesame oil. The gels can be produced with different viscosities and flavors. Clinical studies are slated to begin soon. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abm8478 The FDA has announced the first drug approved for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis. The drug is dupilumab and its better known as Dupixent. Its now approved for use in adults and teens 12 years and over weighing at least 88 pounds. Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic inflammation that triggers swallowing problems with food trapping on the way down to the stomach. Dupixent is about 60% effective in reducing the eosinophils populating the esophagus and driving this disorder. No word yet on insurance coverage. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-treatment-eosinophilic-esophagitis-chronic-immune-disorder There you have the latest health reveals for the 1st week of June, 2022.

Ukoniq, a treatment just approved last year, has been withdrawn; We rundown a host of drug pipeline news in asthma, dermatology and oncology; and there's positive results for a novel postpartum depression treatment.
Host Ryan Piansky and co-host Mary Jo Strobel, talk with guest Dr. Amal Assa'ad about aeroallergens, food allergies, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Dr. Assa'ad is a pediatric allergist. She is a Professor at the University of Cincinnati in the Department of Pediatrics, as well as the Director of Clinical Services and Associate Director of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. She is an accomplished, award-winning researcher who has published more than 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters. In this episode, Mary Jo and Ryan invite Dr. Assa'ad to share her academic path and the research she has done on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) as well as current research directions. Dr. Assa'ad discusses how environmental allergens and EoE connected and why treatments for allergies are ineffective at preventing EoE. She also discusses a study on the demographic differences in the diagnosis of EoE and shares her optimism for biological treatments in the pipeline for eosinophilic disorders.

Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own. This podcast was recorded prior to the FDA approval of DupixentⓇ for indicated treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis for people aged 12 and older. Key Takeaways: [1:11] Mary Jo introduces today's guest, Dr. Amal Assa'ad, Professor at the University of Cincinnati's Department of Pediatrics, Director of Clinical Services, and Associate Director of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. [1:45] Dr. Assa'ad is an accomplished award-winning researcher. Dr. Assa'ad has published over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts, book chapters, and research publications. She holds several committee appointments and is an engaging speaker with a gift for teaching difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way. [2:29] Dr. Assa'ad is not college-educated! In Egypt, she went directly from high school to medical school. She is the first medical doctor in her family. She wanted to relieve patient suffering and study medical disorders. She started medical school at age 16 and stayed for seven years. At the age of 23, she was a physician. [3:40] After receiving her MB BCh medical degree, Dr. Assa'ad entered a Master's program for a degree in testing for food allergies. In the United States, Dr. Assa'ad did a visiting fellowship in San Antonio, Texas, and an internship and residency in pediatrics in Michigan and Dayton, Ohio. [4:38] From there, she joined Cincinnati Children's Hospital where she started her work in food allergy and other allergic disorders. She developed an interest in eosinophilic disorders. Dr. Assa'ad was always thrilled to be making science. With other doctors, she worked on several of the initial clinical trials for hypereosinophilic syndrome patients. [5:51] From these trials, Dr. Assa'ad learned how patients present differently; at different ages, different organ systems affected, and with different quality of life. [6:07] Dr. Assa'ad started working with eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis and contributed to the descriptions of these disorders and the study of the pathogenesis, presentations, and epidemiology. She continues to be very interested in the overlap of these disorders with food allergy and environmental allergy. [6:55] Is EoE always triggered by food? Patients usually say if they take certain foods, they have symptoms that are associated with EoE. The symptoms of EoE are also very difficult to pin down. With infants, the symptom is feeding difficulties. In toddlers, it is vomiting. At school age, stomach aches. In adults, dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. [8:52] Quite often, EoE is not diagnosed until a major event happens, like a food impaction, like something getting stuck in the esophagus at dinner. Is it that the food instantly made the EoE worse, or is it the texture issue and the difficulty in the motility of the esophagus that cause the impaction? [10:09] Are foods the only thing that can increase your EoE symptoms? What about environmental allergens that can contribute? Dr. Assa'ad cites a study in mice where allergens were put into the esophagus or the nose. The observation was that inhaled allergens may cause symptoms to worsen. [11:00] Patients have been observed with symptoms that cycle with the seasons. Certain seasons were associated with either diagnosing EoE or flare-ups of EoE. There are common proteins between pollen and foods, so the question is: Are these kinds of proteins, whether in foods or inhalants, causing a flare-up of symptoms? [11:57] When you have a flare-up of symptoms, you assume that you have a worsening of the pathology in the esophagus, so you have more eosinophils. Of course, you don't get an endoscopy every season, but you could assume the esophagus isn't working as it should. [12:25] Dr. Assa'ad thinks that EoE is multifactorial. Different patients have different triggers. In the 1990s, when EoE was being described, researchers did skin tests for environmental and indoor allergens. In Dr. Assa'ad's published research, some EoE patients had no or few allergies, and others had many reactions to allergens. [15:38] Dr. Assa'ad believes that patients with large numbers of allergies are patients who are likely to develop eosinophilic esophagitis because they tend to be allergic. She believes that the lining of the esophagus is primed and prone to respond to these food and environmental allergens. [16:14] How can you determine which foods are problematic for your EoE? Dr. Assa'ad describes the difference between sensitivity and allergy. Many studies were looking for connections between food sensitivities and EoE. Researchers used to try drastic dietary elimination, but now they limit the eliminations to a few foods. [18:29] In a new study, not yet published, removing a few foods can significantly reduce the EoE symptoms. Some patients know that if they eat a certain food they are going to have symptoms, so they don't eat it. But don't restrict your diet to extremes. Maintain a good quality of life. [20:50] What about seasonal EoE flare-ups? Is that only related to airborne allergens? There are no definitive population studies on this question. It is also very hard to filter out airborne allergens. But what other changes in the environment may cause EoE flare-ups during these cycles? They may be pollution, toxins, dust, and particulates. [23:15] Dr. Assa'ad was surprised in her research by the number of positive tests she found in the larger part of the patients, who were highly sensitized to a large number of things. These patients were being treated for their symptoms and still got diagnosed with eosinophilic disorder. They were not being treated for the immunologic mechanism. [24:16] Dr. Assa'ad was excited about a study where they looked at mepolizumab in eosinophilic disorders. The study showed it did decrease the eosinophils in the biopsies but it didn't meet the primary goal endpoint of ameliorating symptoms, which is something that has plagued a lot of the eosinophilic disorders studies. [25:39] These study patients came having already had treatments for allergies but they still developed the disorder. Mepolizumab went on to be developed for eosinophilic asthma and eventually for hypereosinophilic syndrome as well, but not for eosinophilic esophagitis or gastroenteritis. Dr. Assa'ad is hopeful it will be developed for EoE. [26:41] Dr. Assa'ad recommends patients with EoE symptoms that are caused by environmental allergens to treat the allergic symptoms. It's important for patients to manage their quality of life. [28:28] It has been noted that epidemiologically, eosinophilic esophagitis and the disorders are more common on the east and west coasts but less common in the middle of the country. Is it the stresses and rapid pace of life on the coasts? [29:38] Dr. Assa'ad has seen improvement with puffed and swallowed fluticasone. They have published papers on that. [30:25] The availability of endoscopies and biopsies in the United States is far greater than in other countries, even European countries. The diagnosis of EoE in some countries relies on counting eosinophils in blood samples instead of biopsies. Flare-ups and eosinophil counts do not necessarily correlate. Other countries go by symptoms. [32:21] Environmental allergens are very different in different countries so the influence of environmental allergens on EoE from country to country cannot be easily compared. [33:13] What research is next for Dr. Assa'ad? Food allergies and working with colleagues at other institutions on a grant following a cohort of situationally diverse African-Americans and Caucasians with food allergies. They are looking into the diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis and how being diagnosed has differed by race. [34:26] Through this cohort, they have found that EoE is infrequently diagnosed in African-American or Latinx populations that have symptoms that are very consistent with EoE. [34:45] Dr. Assa'ad is also working on looking at the genetics of food allergies with regard to races and what makes a difference. She is also working on establishing a biobank for food allergy biomarkers for researchers around the country. [36:04] Another project Dr. Assa'ad is working on is immunotherapy for food allergies. Patients with EoE have previously been excluded from studies with immunotherapy because it might provoke the disorder. [37:30] Dr. Assa'ad focuses on where the patient is coming from and the patient's wants and needs. She is working on clinical trials with biologics and is optimistic about the results with acute food allergies and eosinophilic disorders. [38:07] Mary Jo thanks Dr. Assa'ad for taking the time to talk with us. [38:16] Dr. Assa'ad shares the optimism that the whole scientific community is making strides. A lot is coming down the pike and things are going to get better from the diagnostic and therapeutic points of view and improving the patients' quality of life and possibly helping other countries. [39:19] Ryan invites listeners to look at apfed.org for additional resources to help with the day-to-day management of EoE. Ryan also encourages you to connect with the APFED online community and listen to past podcast episodes. [39:59] Dr. Assa'ad thanks Ryan and Mary Jo for having her on the podcast and thanks APFED and other patient organizations.

Real side effects of biologics - the bad and even the good Breaking down what cytokines are (in layman's terms) Cytokines and the JAK/STAT pathway Discussion of JAK inhibitors (the newest version of biologic drugs for skin issues) Quotes “Back when we used things like methotrexate for skin disorders, we would see that the entire immune system was blocked and as a result, there would be side effects of things like cancer. When we're only blocking one protein, we have much less severe side effects.” [2:59] “If your skin is not in balance with its microbes, it will affect your gut. We really got to address that. That is the root cause, and usually the way that we're going to address that is with eating more plant-based foods and getting some of the toxins out of our system, and letting those microbes grow the way that they were supposed to grow in normal ecosystems.” [17:47] Links Find Dr. Zwickey online here Healthy Skin Show ep. 180: How Hormones Impact Your Immune System + Skin Health w/ Heather Zwickey, PhD Healthy Skin Show ep.157: How Your Immune System Can Trigger Skin Rashes w/ Heather Zwickey, PhD Follow Dr. Zwickey on Instagram
Après le net repli de la veille, le CAC 40 a tenté de repartir de l'avant aujourd'hui, mais il a plié vers la fin de séance clôturant sur un repli de 0,57% vers les 6.462 points et 4,17 milliards d'euros échangés. Il faut dire qu'hier, ce sont les minutes du dernier comité de politique monétaire de la Fed qui sont venues rappeler aux investisseurs la détermination de la banque centrale américaine à lutter contre l'inflation : les membres de la Réserve fédérale estiment notamment que des hausses de 50 points de base du taux des fonds fédéraux pourraient être nécessaire pour calmer la surchauffe des prix. Une réduction de la taille du bilan dès le mois de mai est aussi sur la table avec l'objectif d'atteindre au bout de trois mois un rythme mensuel de réduction de 95 milliards de dollars. Même cause même effets de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique pour les marchés américains qui signent pour l'instant leur 3e séance dans le rouge d'affilée avec les taux sur les bons du Trésor américains à 10 ans s'élevant à 2,64% autour de leurs plus hauts depuis trois ans. Le Dow Jones recule de 0,7% vers les 34.255 points à 17h45 et le Nasdaq à -0,86% vers les 13.770 points. Valeurs en hausse On retrouve une nouvelle fois des valeurs défensives à l'image d'Eurofins Scientific : cinq séances à la suite pour le groupe qui termine en tête du SBF 120. GTT est aussi bien orienté malgré le repli du Brent qui est repassé sous le seuil des 100 dollars le baril. L'équipementier auto Faurecia rebondit après deux séances de fort repli tout comme Sodexo qui met enfin un terme à une séquence de six journées consécutives dans le rouge. Sur le CAC 40 en plus d'Eurofins, on retrouve Carrefour, Danone et Sanofi qui gagne 1,6%. La pharma a annoncé que la Commission européenne avait approuvé son médicament Dupixent pour le traitement des enfants âgés de six à onze ans présentant un asthme sévère. Valeurs en baisse Atos reste sous pression, 3e séance de correction et un repli qui est désormais de plus de 41% depuis le début de l'année. 4e plus fort du SBF 120 sur la période. JCDecaux, Solutions30 et Interparfums sont également mal orientés. Alors que sur le CAC 40 c'est encore compliqué pour Alstom, Veolia et Société Générale.
Est-on enfin en train d'avancer dans les pourparlers entre Ukrainiens et Russes ? C'est clairement le scénario auquel les investisseurs ont envie de croire alors que l'Ukraine a proposé d'adopter un statut neutre en échange de garanties pour sa sécurité. De son côté, Moscou évoque une réduction radicale son activité militaire en direction de Kiev et Tcherniguiv, ce qui permettrait de desserrer l'étau autour de la capitale ukrainienne. Il n'en fallait pas plus aux marchés pour se projeter vers la fin du conflit et le CAC 40 clôture la séance sur une nette progression de 3,08% vers les 6792 points et 5,2 milliards d'euros échangés. Aux Etats-Unis, la hausse est plus mesurée on va dire, mais ça monte tout de même de concert pour le Dow Jones et la Nasdaq à 17h45 : +0,6% pour le premier vers les 35.170 points, +1,2% pour le second vers les 14.533 points. Valeurs en hausse Forcément, les valeurs attaquées récemment rebondissent nettement, c'est le cas pour toutes les valeurs du secteur auto : Faurecia, Valeo, Plastic Omnium, Renault qui sont pied au plancher aujourd'hui avec des hausses à deux chiffres A noter aussi sur le SRD la hausse de 20% d'Actia Group. En marge de ses résultats annuels, le groupe a annoncé qu'il est en train de concrétiser deux opérations de cession d'activités non stratégiques de sa division automotive. Sur le CAC 40, dans le sillage de Renault, on retrouve Worldline, Société Générale et Alstom. Carmat aussi bat plus fort : +40%. La société a annoncé le redémarrage de la production de son coeur artificiel et la confirmation de l'objectif d'une reprise des implantations en octobre. La medtech avait suspendu volontairement ses implantations le 2 décembre dernier en raison de problèmes qualité ayant affecté certaines de ses prothèses. Valeurs en baisse Forcément, on arbitre chez les investisseurs avec les valeurs qui se sont appréciées sur ces dernières semaines et donc on vend.. Thales, lanterne rouge du SBF 120 Ca baisse aussi pour Sanofi. La pharma a annoncé qu'elle visait désormais, un chiffre d'affaire "à plus de 13 milliards d'euros en rythme de croisière" pour le Dupixent, son traitement de l'asthme et de la dermatite atopique. Une prévision un peu inférieure aux attentes du marché Les pétrolières et parapétrolières marquent également logiquement le pas comme Vallourec ou TotalEnergies, GTT, tout comme les valeurs liées aux métaux comme Eramet ou Arcelormittal.
Did you know that about 10% of people using Dupixent develop awful face and neck dermatitis? This issue (more officially called Dupilumab Facial Redness (DFR)) wasn't flagged during the randomized FDA trials, but has some dermatologists concerned because DFR can be incredibly severe, just as it was for one of my clients. Since Dupixent is a biologic drug used by some with Eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal to ease symptoms, this new problem isn't ideal. Rather than just assume that the person has a sensitivity to Dupixent, new research is showing that this may be a different problem — Malasezzia hypersensitivity. If you recall, Malasezzia is a fungal organism that normally lives in your skin's microbiome. It really shouldn't be causing an issue like this, but something about the way that Dupixent interacts with your immune system along with a compromised skin barrier could play a role. Here are the current papers discussing this topic so you have something to bring to your prescribing dermatologist so you can get the help you need if you are experiencing this! In this episode: Facial + neck redness that occurs in about 10% of Dupixent users What current research on what may be driving this weird “side effect” Treatment options listed in currently published articles The blood test marker that could be helpful in getting a clear diagnosis What to do if YOU have face + neck redness from Dupixent Quotes: Approximately 10% of Dupixent users develop red, inflamed, dry, scaly and itchy face + neck rashes requiring antifungal medication treatment. Dupixent Facial Redness was never described or mentioned in the Dupixent clinical trials for the FDA (which is surprising considering that it impacts approximately 10% of patients).

In this episode, Ayesha discusses the latest trends in pharma tv ad spending, including the top spenders last week. The pandemic has led to a rise in both TV watching and health awareness, which pharma companies took advantage of by increasing spending on TV commercials by about 17 percent overall. Last week, three of the top ten TV ads by expenditure were from pharma, which included GLP-1 diabetes drugs Rybelsus and Trulicty and the anti-inflammatory Dupixent for treating eczema. The group also talked about a new AI algorithm developed by researchers at the Mayo Clinic that can help increase the identification and diagnosis of cases of low ejection fraction. Low ejection fraction is often asymptomatic in early stages and hence goes underdiagnosed in many instances. The new AI algorithm is integrated into routine electrocardiograms (ECG), which are fast and readily accessible but cannot diagnose the condition on their own. The team discussed the promise of integrating AI approaches into existing medical tools and technologies to facilitate enhanced diagnoses and treatments.Read the full articles here:Pharma TV Ad Spending Trends: Companies in the Top Ten this WeekHow a New AI Algorithm Could Help in the Early Detection of Heart DiseaseFor more life science and medical device content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social MediaTwitter: @Xtalks Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Women In Government Podcast It Takes 2: Type 2 Inflammation People of all ages, genders, and backgrounds are connected by similar challenges because of one lesser known chronic condition known as Type 2 Inflammation. Recent scientific developments have shown that this overactive immune system response, underlies different atopic, allergic and inflammatory diseases. What exactly does that mean and how does it affect our families and communities? On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses how the type 2 inflammation connection can help patients work with their doctors to gain control of their chronic disease. As for policymakers and industry leaders, these chronic conditions impact communities of color and those in underserved communities. Now's the time to get to work and support measures to address type 2 inflammation. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Melissa Hurtado, California State Senator GUEST #1: Carole Huntsman, Head, Sanofi Genzyme North America and US Country Lead GUEST #2: Dr. Mandeep Kaur, Vice President, Head, North America Medical for Dupixent at Sanofi Genzyme GUEST #3: Dr. Tyra Bryant-Stephens MD, Director and Founder, The Community Asthma Prevention Program, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, including a Spanish-language translation transcript of this podcast, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com

If you've considered starting Dupixent or some other type of biologic medication for your rashes, here's something to consider. Problems (that aren't significant enough to be major issues yet) can be lurking under the surface and go unnoticed. If a biologic medication works, symptoms should go away. That's a great thing for your confidence, peace of mind, and daily level of comfort. But it can cause you to miss clues (aka. symptoms) that need attention sooner rather than later. In today's episode, I'm sharing why symptoms are like your car's “check engine” light AND how this all played out for a client in real life. My client wanted to share her experience to inspire you to “take a look under the hood” to make sure there's nothing else going on that does need some TLC. Because once you start a biologic (and it works), you lose out on using your symptoms as a guide towards better health. In this episode: Isn't it a good thing to block inflammation that's wrecking your skin? Symptoms are like your car's “check engine” light Jessica's experience living with eczema (and why she was recommended a biologic) Digging into Jessica's case revealed deeper issues Why you should get your system checked thoroughly before turning to a biologic Words of wisdom from my client Jessica Quotes: If Jessica had taken a biologic (assuming it cleared up her skin), she would have never known about any of the other issues hiding under the surface. Symptoms aren't meant to mentally and emotionally devastate you, nor make you feel like you're at war with your body.

Today's guest is Ashley Ann Lora, an eczema patient advocate who used the medication, Dupixent, for several years and has successfully withdrawn from it for over 20 weeks so far (which she says, is rare to see). She shares the emotional healing, mindset, and morning rituals that have helped her on her journey. She was also on the Dr. Phil show to share her eczema journey. Please note that this episode is in no way promoting Dupixent as a medication, but this episode is here to promote the emotional healing practices that Ashley has adopted since her Dupixent withdrawal. ----------------------- For more eczema tips, follow Abby on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube for more eczema tips and updates.
