description: Monitoring biologic drug therapy during pregnancy in women with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) is crucial to ensure treatments align with evidence-based practices. A retrospective cohort study based on healthcare claims data from eight Italian regions was conducted, analyzing deliveries between 2009 and 2021. The study included women receiving biologic drugs within nine months before their last menstruation. Exposures to biologics, conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and symptom-relieving medications were assessed in the trimesters (T) before, during and after pregnancy. Factors influencing biologic treatment persistence during pregnancy were analyzed. A cohort of 1,763 deliveries was considered. Biologic drugs were prescribed for rheumatic (33.6%), dermatological (32.6%), and gastrointestinal diseases (28.4%). Biologic use declined during pregnancy (TI = 37.3%; TII = 17.6%; TIII = 11.3%), increasing again postpartum. During pregnancy, there was increased use of symptom-relieving medications for rheumatic diseases and DMARDs for gastrointestinal diseases. Factors associated with continued biologic treatment included being older than 35 years and the region of delivery. This study found a decrease in biologics drug use during pregnancy and highlights the necessity for personalized therapeutic approaches. Geographic variations in biologic drug use emphasize the need for educational initiatives about the risk-benefit profiles of these therapies during pregnancy.

Eutetrapha virides Pu & Jin, 1991: 191, 196, pl. IIIB: 2. Type locality: China, Sichuan, Qingchuan, Tangjiahe. Type depository: IZAS.
Eutetrapha virides; Hua et al., 2009: 455; Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 324; Lin, 2015: 280, fig. 217697.
Diagnosis. According to Pu & Jin (1991), this species is “related to E. chrysochloris Bates, but easily distinguished by the frons sparsely punctuate, posterior margin of pronotum straight, not sinuate, scutellum tongue-shaped; the second macula of elytra obliquely elongate, contact with humeral carina”. In fact, the male claws allow these two species to be separated into two genera.
Remarks. Eutetrapha virides Pu & Jin, 1991 is transferred to the genus Paraglenea Bates, 1866, due to the appendiculate claws in males (Fig. 144). Though we did not examine any females, the claws of females should be simple. This species is quite similar to Paraglenea fortunei (Saunders, 1853) and P. cinereonigra Pesarini & Sabbadini, 1996 due to the color pattern, but with metallic scales and with different black markings.
Distribution. China: Sichuan.
Type specimen examined. Holotype (Figs. 135 a & c), male, Sichuan, Qingchuan, Tangjiahe, 1980. VII.30, leg. Ming-Li Lan (IZAS, IOZ (E) 217697).

description: By 31 December 2022, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 12 biosimilar monoclonal antibody cancer treatments. This study detected disproportionate adverse event (AE) reporting signals and compared safety profile of individual biosimilars to their originator biologics and between each pair of biosimilars. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System data (6/1/2018–12/31/2022) were used to identify AE reports for rituximab, bevacizumab, trastuzumab, and their marketed biosimilars. Reporting odds ratios and empirical Bayesian geometric mean were computed to detect reporting disproportionality in serious, death, and specific AEs between studied biologics/biosimilars and all other drugs. Significant AE reporting signals were identified: 1) death for biological rituximab, pruritus for biosimilar rituximab-pvvr, and infusion-related reactions for biological rituximab and biosimilar rituximab-pvvr (significantly higher ROR for rituximab-pvvr than biological rituximab, p < .0001); 2) death for biological bevacizumab and biosimilar bevacizumab-bvzr (significantly higher ROR for bevacizumab-bvzr than biological bevacizumab, p < .0001), hypertension, platelet count decreased (PCD), and proteinuria for biological bevacizumab and biosimilar bevacizumab-awwb (significantly higher ROR of PCD for bevacizumab-awwb than originator bevacizumab, p = .001); and 3) rash for biosimilar trastuzumab-anns. Findings call for large, longitudinal studies to examine causality of certain AEs with rituximab-pvvr and bevacizumab biosimilars.

description: To investigate adverse events(ADEs) associated with the use of paracetamol and ibuprofen in people under 18 years of age. The use of NSAIDs reached a peak as a result of the spread of COVID-19 in previous years. Minors, as a special population, need to pay more attention to the use of corresponding drugs and the occurrence of adverse events (ADEs). ADEs report data of the two drugs were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS) from the first quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2022. The use of the two drugs in this population was primarily associated with injury, poisoning and surgical complications. The psychiatric disorders produced by the use of acetaminophen(12.6%) and ibuprofen(9.2%) in the adolescent group were significantly higher than those in the other age groups. The use of acetaminophen in the four age groups involved hepatobiliary disorders was more significantly (10.3%, 8.1%, 9.1%, 11.5%), while the use of ibuprofen was more obviously involved in renal and urinary disorders(5.0%, 6.2%, 9.6%, 7.1%). The use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen in children of different age groups has different characteristics. Pediatric clinical pharmacists can provide medication monitoring to minimize ADEs based on these characteristics.

description: Polatuzumab vedotin is the first antibody-drug conjugate approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This study evaluated adverse events (AEs) associated with polatuzumab vedotin by data mining of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). This study included AEs registered in FAERS between 2019 Q2 and 2023 Q2. Four algorithms were used to quantify the signals of polatuzumab vedotin-associated AEs, including reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker. A total of 7,609,450 reports were collected from the FAERS database, and 1,388 reports of polatuzumab vedotin were identified as primary suspected AEs. Polatuzumab vedotin-associated AEs involved 26 organ systems. According to the four algorithms, 108 significant disproportionality AEs were retained simultaneously. Unexpected significant AEs included gastrointestinal hemorrhage, ileus, gastrointestinal perforation, cholecystitis, hypogammaglobulinemia, hepatitis B reactivation, hypercalcemia, hydronephrosis, cystitis hemorrhagic, interstitial lung disease, and thrombophlebitis. The median time to onset of polatuzumab vedotin-associated AEs was 20 (interquartile range 4–56) days. Our study identified significant new AE signals for polatuzumab vedotin through real-world disproportionality analysis data and may provide additional evidence for risk identification of polatuzumab vedotin.

Remarks. According to the World Spider Catalogue (2017), only the male of this species is known but is not indicated it is not adult. In his original description, Caporiacco (1928a) indeed states the holotype is not yet adult (“nondum adultum sit”) and related to Drassodes signifer (“ab omnibus speciebus D. signifero similibus”), so the species must be transferred to Haplodrassus. A description at species level is not possible and H. spinicrus is declared a nomen dubium.

description: Metformin has been part of treatment algorithms for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for decades. While it has formal approval in the U.S.A. for treatment of T2DM, it is used off-label in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and ovarian hyperstimulation prevention. Its role as an insulin sensitizer has made it an attractive therapeutic to address the insulin resistance seen in these syndromes. In 2022, the European Union approved metformin as the only oral antidiabetic medication for diabetes in pregnancy. While its safety and benefits for the mother are well documented, it does cross the placenta with plasma concentrations comparable between mother and child at delivery. This special report will focus on major randomized control trials investigating metformin use in pregnancies impacted by PCOS, GDM, T2DM, and obesity and their offspring follow-up trials. For the mother, metformin can be beneficial, with reduction in insulin therapeutic burden, weight gain, hypoglycemia and in certain situations, pre-eclampsia. For the neonate, benefits may include reduction in hypoglycemia and no increased risk of congenital anomalies. It is the long-term data in the offspring that remains unknown with some areas of concerns (SGA, altered anthropometrics) requiring continued research.

Figs 172‒180, 190‒193, map 4
Types: Holotype ♂, paratype ♀ from Morocco, Fès-Meknès, Sidi Harazem (N34°1’38” W4°53’00”), 250m, pitfalls in wheat fields, 23.VI.1997, S. Boksch leg.; deposited in RBINS.
Etymology. The species name refers to the triangular shape of the fovea.
Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from all other species by the J-shaped embolic apophysis (Figs 175, 190) in the male and the triangular fovea in the female (Figs 178, 192).
Description. Measurements: Male (n=2): Total length 2.9‒3.1; carapace 1.23‒1.46 long, 0.94‒1.12 wide. Female (n=2): Total length 3.1‒4.8; carapace 1.31‒1.60 long, 1.01‒1.26 wide.
Colour: The type material is decoulored, with pale yellowish-brown carapace and legs and abdomen nearly white. In the recently collected male from Tunisia, the carapace has the thoracic part yellowish brown, the cephalic part brown, the foveal region and radiating striae greyish, the legs yellowish brown and the abdomen grey with a row of paired chevrons in its distal two third.

description: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was used to mine and evaluate adverse events (AEs) associated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, thereby providing a reference for clinical rational drug use. AE data related to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2023 were acquired from FAERS, while the signal mining was processed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method. The number of AE reports for CDK4/6 inhibitors was, respectively, 132,494 for palbociclib, 56,151 for ribociclib, and 7,014 for abemaciclib. The corresponding numbers of AE signals were 319, 517, and 59, with the number of involved System Organ Class (SOC) being 23, 23, and 15, mainly involving blood and lymphatic system disorders, respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders, hepatobiliary disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, etc. CDK4/6 inhibitors could lead to pulmonary toxicity, myelosuppression, skin reactions, etc. Special attention should be paid to abemaciclib for interstitial lung disease (ILD), erythema multiforme, and thrombosis risk; ribociclib for cardiac toxicity, hepatotoxicity, and musculoskeletal toxicity; palbociclib for neurocognitive impairment and osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Haplodrassus bohemicus Miller & Buchar, 1977: 163, pl. II, figs 1–6 (♂♀); Stefanovska et al. 2008: 37, figs 10– 15 (♂♀); Kovblyuk et al. 2012: 62, figs 1‒6, 10‒12 (♂♀).
Types: Holotype female, paratype male from Czech Republic, Bohemia, Raná, near Louny, Buchar leg.; not examined.
Comments. Our specimens are tentatively identified as H. bohemicus and are described hereunder, because the existing drawings of the species by Miller & Buchar (1977), Stefanovska et al. (2008) and Kovblyuk et al. (2012) don’t seem to belong to the same species. The embolic apophysis is gradually narrowing in figs 1‒2 of Miller & Buchar, and in figs 10‒11 of Stefanovska et al., whereas it has a step-like prodorsal margin in figs 2‒3, 5‒6 of Kovblyuk et al. Further studies are required to solve this problem.
Description. Measurements: Male (n=7): Total length 5.2‒7.8 mm; carapace 2.2‒2.8 long, 1.7‒2.2 wide. Female (n=11): Total length 7.6‒8.6 mm; carapace 2.8‒3.2 long, 2.1‒2.4 wide.
Colour: Carapace yellowish brown to brown, in some specimens with darkened striae and margin; legs yellowish brown; abdomen greyish black, anterior part with 3 pairs of small longitudinal stripes, in females mostly followed by 6‒7 pairs of chevrons.
Male palp (Figs 200‒203): Tibial apophysis relatively short, slightly widened before rounded tip; embolic apophysis thick, only slightly bent, gradually narrowing, distal part with slightly elevated crest, tip pointed.
Epigyne (Fig. 204): Slightly longer than wide, with hood distinctly narrower than areola; fovea nearly rectangular, posterior margin poorly expressed; areola very wide.
Material examined. GREECE, Ipeiros, Ionnanina, Vikos-Aoos National Park, Astraka (N39°57'54” E20°47'31”), 1910m, 3♂ 7♀, pitfalls in stony grassland, 30.IV‒12.VII.2007, B. Vandenberghe leg. (CRB), idem, 4♂ 4♀, stones in grassland, 30.IV.2007, B. Vandenberghe leg. (CRB).
Distribution. Czech Republic (Miller & Buchar 1977), S. of European Russia (Ponomarev & Tsvetkov 2006), FYR Macedonia (Stefanovska et al. 2008), Greece (Van Keer et al. 2010) and Ukraine (Kovblyuk et al. 2012).

description: A marine coccolithophore (Emiliania huxleyi) and coccolithovirus (EhV-207) were grown together in a marine aerosol reference tank (MART) to investigate how the viral lysis of phytoplankton affects the formation of immersion mode ice nucleating particles (INPs) in sea spray aerosol (SSA). The mean ice nucleation temperatures of SSA produced during viral infection were slightly lower (–28.5 °C) than pre-viral infection (–27.5 °C). Ice nucleation temperatures were relatively low, indicating that organic matter from E. huxleyi is less effective as an INP than phytoplankton examined in previous studies. E. huxleyi is covered in calcium carbonate coccoliths and contains high intracellular concentrations of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). The ice nucleation efficiencies of purified components were measured to better understand this model system. Purified coccoliths were moderately effective INPs (–25.3 ± 0.4 °C at 5 × 102 mg L−1 (mean ± pooled SD)) that showed a concentration effect, with lower freezing temperatures at lower concentrations. Coccoliths and DMSP were both weakly efficient INPs. In comparison, purified phytoplankton viruses (EhV-207 and CtenRNAV-01) infecting coccolithophores and diatoms, respectively, did not affect freezing at temperatures warmer than the procedural blank. Our results suggest that E. huxleyi, in contrast to diatoms and cyanobacteria, is not a significant source of immersion mode INPs to the marine atmosphere, despite its broad distribution in the global ocean and large-scale bloom formation.

description: Thermally diffusive laminar-flow condensation particle counters (CPCs) often utilize alcohol or water as the working fluid to condense and grow particles large enough for optical detection. Different CPC structures (including saturator and condenser) have been designed to accommodate different characteristics of alcohol and water. This study presents a convertible CPC that can use both alcohol and water without modifying the CPC structure or wick material. It utilizes a laminar-flow design including a heated saturator followed by a cooled condenser. When using butanol as the working fluid, the CPC cutoff size was measured to be 10 nm and 7 nm for laboratory-generated NaCl and Ag particles, respectively, at the saturator temperature of 39 °C and the condenser temperature of 17.5 °C. For water, the CPC cutoff sizes are 3 nm for NaCl particles and 2.8 nm for Ag particles at the saturator temperature of 41.5 °C and the condenser temperature of 5 °C. When the ambient dew point temperature is above the condenser temperature, the water CPC can collect moisture from the air to make it self-sustained. Numerical simulation confirmed the spatial distribution of saturation ratios for butanol and water vapors under the setting conditions. The output power of the optical detector is set to be 5 mW for butanol and 25 mW for water to obtain pulse heights generated by particles high enough to achieve high signal-to-noise ratios. The convertible CPCs using butanol and water were used for measuring atmospheric particles in comparison to a commercial butanol CPC and obtained consistent results.

description: Heated tobacco products (HTPs) have emerged as an alternative to cigarettes in the last 10 years. HTPs heat rather than burn tobacco to produce a nicotine-containing aerosol. Avoiding combustion reduces the amount of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) in HTP aerosol compared to cigarette smoke. As heating technologies evolve, it is important to thoroughly assess new iterations to confirm that the aerosol they produce contains fewer and lower levels of HPHCs than cigarette smoke. Tobacco Heating System (THS) 3.0 is an induction heating device used with specially designed tobacco sticks. This paper describes the chemical composition, physical properties, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and mutagenicity of the aerosols produced by THS 3.0 using the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) intense puffing regimen for regular and menthol tobacco sticks. Targeted chemical testing and physics evaluations confirmed that >95% of the aerosol droplets are respirable with substantial HPHC yield reductions compared to cigarette smoke. A standard battery of in vitro toxicology tests was performed to assess the aerosols’ cellular effects. Results from the neutral red uptake, micronucleus, and Ames assays showed that THS 3.0 aerosol fractions induced substantially less cytotoxicity and have substantially lower genotoxic and mutagenic potentials than cigarette smoke fractions. Collectively, the evidence demonstrates that inductively heated tobacco sticks used with THS 3.0 produce aerosol emissions and substantially lower levels of HPHCs similar to those with THS 2.2—a previous version of HTP with resistive heating—leading to reduced in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity compared to cigarette smoke.

description: Disinformation is spread in every part of the world. In this comparative report, we analyse similarities and differences based on a 6-part international research series commissioned and supported by the Upgrade Democracy team between 2023-2024 under the theme “strengthening democracy, countering disinformation.” We compare the varying information ecosystems; the perpetrators of disinformation and the topics they exploit; protagonists in dealing with disinformation; and the role of state institutions and technological developments in this field. Our analysis shows, among other things, the ambivalent role of governments, which in some regions support the resilience of information ecosystems and in others disseminate disinformation themselves. We also refer to the influence of artificial intelligence on elections, the role of zero-rating and a growing business model for disinformation campaigns.  Against this backdrop, we emphasise the importance of a strong civil society and robust regulation of digital platforms that strengthens transparency, openness, and inclusion.

description: Abstract: A past experience of childhood trauma remains a major predictor of violent conduct amongst adolescents in low income and or developing countries as exemplified by Uganda, Kampala in particular. About the effects of emotional and physical abuse, neglect and witnessing domestic violence toward adolescent violent behaviour, this study employed a correlational research design. Two hundred and fourteen adolescents were interviewed through administration of assessment questionnaires measuring the level of trauma exposure and the presence of violent behaviours. Multiple correlation and regression analysis procedures were used in treating the data.

The result showed that there was significant positive correlation between violent behavior and being emotionally or physically abused (0.486, p<.01), and witnessing domestic violence (0.447 p<.01). The degree of association explained by abuse was higher than that by neglect, and the results of the regression analysis further confirmed that emotional and physical abuse emerged as the strongest predictors (Coefficients = 0.316, p<.01), followed by, witnessing domestic violence (Coefficients = 0.185, p<.01), while neglect did not significantly predict adulthood dating violence (Coefficients = 0.059, p Overall, the seven independent variables explained 24.7% of the violent behaviour, (R² = .258; F (7, 92) = 23.093, p <. 01); this shows that there are other variables that may influence the violent behaviour.

From these results it is pointed out that child maltreatment is significantly associated with violence in youths and therefore calls for the incorporation of trauma-sensitive approaches. Some of the possible recommendations, include: Schools, policies, and mental health workers should use programs addressing the impact of abuse and domestic violence; child protection laws should be reinforced, and there should be increased access to mental health for adolescents in a bid to curb violence among youngsters and enhance better development.
