Evolution of use and overuse of triptans in Austria – What has changed in the last 15 years?

Abstract Background Triptans are highly effective acute treatments for migraine attacks, yet population-level data suggest persistent underuse. Updated real-world data on triptan use and overuse in Austria are lacking. Methods This nationwi...

The number of androgen receptor CAG repeats and mortality in men

Introduction The androgen receptor (AR) mediates peripheral effects of testosterone. Evidence suggests that the number of CAG repeats in exon-1 of the AR gene negatively correlates with AR transcriptional activity. The aim of this analysis ...

Increased remission with fewer corticosteroids and more biologics in rheumatoid arthritis at 7-year follow-up in real-life conditions

Abstract Remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an important therapeutic target that is not easy to achieve in real-life conditions. Some prognostic factors have been identified but the literature is variable. The objectives of this stud...

Topical Pharmacological Treatment of Actinic Keratoses: Focus on Tirbanibulin 1% Ointment

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a frequent precancerous skin lesion that mostly affects chronically sun-exposed areas. Chronic sun damage leads to various mutations in onco-suppressor and oncogenic genes which cause an uncontrolled proliferation ...

The impact of globalization and climate change on Trichinella spp. epidemiology

The main reservoir hosts of nematodes of the genus Trichinella are wild carnivores, although most human infections are caused by the consumption of pork. This group of zoonotic parasites completes the entire natural life cycle within the ho...

Diversity of Rickettsia species in collected ticks from Southeast Iran

Abstract Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world. Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals. Most pathogenic Rickett...
