<h3>Background</h3> Patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH), in particular systemic sclerosis (SSc), had an attenuated response compared idiopathic PAH most trials. Thus, there is uncertainty regarding the benefit of PAH-targeted therapy some forms CTD-PAH. <h3>Objective</h3> To explore safety and efficacy initial combination ambrisentan tadalafil versus or monotherapy patients CTD-PAH SSc-PAH enrolled AMBITION trial. <h3>Methods</h3> This...

The clinical course of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in idiopathic fibrosis (IPF) is not known except advanced disease.488 subjects a placebo-controlled study ambrisentan IPF with mild-moderate restriction lung volume, underwent right heart catheterisation (RHC) at baseline and 117 (24%) had repeated haemodynamic measurements 48 weeks. were categorised into a) World Health Organization (WHO) Group 3 PH (PH associated disease), n=68 (14%); b) WHO 2 left-sided cardiac n=25 (5%); c) no but...

It has been increasingly the practice in Scotland for Procurators-Fiscal to obtain psychiatric opinions on mental state of all persons accused murder. Between 1953 and 1964 I made 66 such examinations, mainly Glasgow area; because other commitments none were carried out between July 1955 March 1958. The official Criminal Statistics England Wales (1) show that during eleven years from 1963 number found guilty murder was 395 manslaughter 969; comparable figures (3) 43 148.

Background Inhibition of the transporter-mediated hepatobiliary elimination bile salts is a putative mechanism for liver toxicity observed with some endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs). Methods Sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes were used to study distribution and accumulation exogenous taurocholate, ERAs endogenous acids. The molecular mechanisms findings in or clinical observations further explored using either vesicular assays (efflux transporters) transfected cell-lines (uptake...

To assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a 10 mg intravenous sildenafil bolus in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients stabilized on 20 orally three times daily.Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using noncompartmental analysis.After an acute increase, plasma concentrations within the range reported previously for oral tablet. At 0.5 h, mean ± SD changes from baseline -8.4 11.7 mmHg (systolic pressure), -2.6 7.3 (diastolic pressure) -3.5 10.4 beats min(-1) (heart...

ObjectivePulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition which may lead to right ventricular failure and early mortality an important complication in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). Previously, the endothelin A selective receptor antagonist, ambrisentan, demonstrated efficacy safety treating PAH due WHO Group I etiologies. These analyses describe 3-year of ambrisentan specifically CTD associated (CTD-PAH).MethodsPatients CTD-PAH participating ARIES-1 -2 clinical trials...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) causes right ventricular ischemia, dysfunction, and failure. PAH patients may benefit from antianginal agents based on a shared pathophysiology with left ischemia. A single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (1∶1) to assess the acute vasoreactivity safety of ranolazine in was conducted. Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were drawn during hemodynamic measurements at 0, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360 minutes Swan-Ganz catheter. All received...

Background Oral imatinib has been shown to be effective, but poorly tolerated, in patients with advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). To maintain efficacy while improving tolerability, AV-101, a dry powder inhaled formulation of imatinib, was developed deliver directly the lungs. Methods This phase 1, placebo-controlled, randomised single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple (MAD) study evaluated safety/tolerability pharmacokinetics AV-101 healthy adults.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex multi-symptom disease with widespread evidence of disrupted systems. The authors hypothesize that it caused by the upregulation corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 2 (CRFR2) in raphé nuclei and limbic system, which impairs ability to maintain homeostasis. propose utilizing agonist-mediated endocytosis downregulate CRFR2.This open-label trial tested safety, tolerability efficacy an acute dose CT38s (a...
