Article Abstract
Background: This communication summarizes our single-center experience with the use of anti-IL-1 biologic response modifiers for treating autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions in children.
Methods: We outline our rationale for the off-label use of anakinra and discuss emerging treatment paradigms that necessitate further research and validation.
Results: Anakinra has enabled personalized treatment, whether used as a single agent on an as-needed basis, as part of a background treatment regimen, or in combination with colchicine. Our data also highlight the significance of anakinra in treating post-infectious inflammatory diseases, demonstrating its high efficacy in novel applications such as rheumatic fever and post-viral arthritis. Canakinumab, on the other hand, has provided long-term remission. Both medications were well-tolerated, with no serious adverse effects reported.
Conclusions: Based on our observations and successful outcomes, we advocate for future collaborative efforts to improve access to anti-IL-1 medications to better manage excessive and harmful inflammation in children.

Understanding changes to local communities brought about by biological invasions is important for conserving biodiversity and maintaining environmental stability. Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are a diverse group of insects well known for their invasion potential and ability to modify local abundance of multiple insect groups. Here, we tested how the presence of crape myrtle bark scale (Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae, CMBS), an invasive felt scale species, seasonally impacted local insect abundance, biodiversity, and community structure on crape myrtle trees.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is vital for effective optimization of pharmacological treatments. In this study, we engineered a chromatography column that is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, thereby enabling safe and straightforward TDM without relying on organic solvents. Silica beads were modified by applying poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels, using a condensation reaction to modify the initiator, followed by radical polymerization to integrate the PNIPAAm hydrogel.

Background: In situ simulation (ISS) is a form of simulation-based training conducted in participants' working environments to improve clinical performance and system readiness. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of non-satisfactory ISS assessments in the Danish nationwide lifeguard service and to identify associated factors.
Methods: This retrospective study analysed ISS assessment reports completed by lifeguard instructors from 2018 to 2023.
Protocol: Faecal microbiota transfer in liver cancer to overcome resistance to atezolizumab/bevacizumab - a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase II trial (the FLORA trial).

Introduction: Combined vascular endothelial growth factor/programmed death-ligand 1 blockade through atezolizumab/bevacizumab (A/B) is the current standard of care in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A/B substantially improved objective response rates compared with tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib; however, a majority of patients will still not respond to A/B. Strong scientific rationale and emerging clinical data suggest that faecal microbiota transfer (FMT) may improve antitumour immune response on PD-(L)1 blockade.
