Abstract Background GB001 is an oral antagonist of the prostaglandin D2 receptor that may inhibit recruitment and activation of airway eosinophils, reducing airway inflammation. Objective To assess GB001 safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics from a Phase 2 study and explore the association between Type 2 biomarkers (fractional exhaled nitric oxide, blood eosinophils) and asthma control markers following GB001 administration. Methods A randomized, placebo‐control, double‐blind study...

An association between maternal diabetes, its medication and childhood cancer has not been previously explored in a registry‐based setting. With a case‐control design, we aimed to explore whether maternal diabetes is associated with an increased risk of childhood cancer in the offspring. Combining data from population‐based registries, we analyzed a total of 2,029 cases, i.e. persons with childhood cancer diagnosed under the age of 20 years between years 1996‐2014 and a total of 10,103 matched population...

Human malaria has arguably affected more of human history than any other pathogen. Pregnant women have a higher risk of developing severe malaria as well as the risk of severe complications. We present a case of severe malaria in a pregnant patient from sub-Saharan Africa who was treated successfully with artesunate. A 28-year-old Nigerian woman with a 20-week intrauterine pregnancy presented with a five-day history of fever and diffuse joint pains. Evaluation of peripheral thin blood smear demonstrated...

Latest Results for Current Microbiology,Identification and Characterization of Cronobacter Strains Isolated from Environmental SamplesAbstract As an emerging food-borne pathogen, Cronobacter species are ubiquitous in the food and environment. In order to know the characteristics of Cronobacter spp. from the environment, we isolated Cronobacter spp. from soil and water, and then studied the molecular typing...
