Beneficial and harmful effects of duloxetine versus placebo, ‘active placebo’ or no intervention for adults with major depressive disorder: a systematic review with meta-analysis a... by Christian Gluud, Marija Barbateskovic, Joanna Moncrieff, Faiza Siddiqui, Janus C Jakobsen, Mathias Maagaard, Sophie Juul, Johanne Juul Petersen, Caroline Barkholt Kamp, Mark Abie Horowitz, Kiran Kumar Katakam

“…The adverse events with the lowest number needed to harm (NNH) were nausea (NNH 6), dry mouth (NNH 13), somnolence (NNH 17), withdrawal syndrome (NNH 19), sweating (NNH 20), dizziness (NNH 21) and constipation (NNH 21).Conclusions Duloxetine appears to reduce depressive symptom scores and improve quality of life scores in the short term, but the effect sizes are minimal and of questionable patient importance. The short- and long-term effects of duloxetine on risks of SAEs and suicidality are uncertain. …”

Epidemiological surveys, antibiotic resistance, and related risk factors of Helicobacter pylori in Quanzhou, China: a cross-sectional study by DanDan Xie, WeiXiong Xu, ZhenZhu Zhang, Fang Huang, XuBo Dai

“…Abstract This study aims to investigate the prevalence and association between characteristics, dietary habits, and other factors associated to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, as well as the resistance of H. pylori to antibiotics and risk factors in Quanzhou. A minimally invasive string test combined with qPCR was used to investigate the relationship between H. pylori infection and several factors that were evaluated using a survey. …”

Enavatuzumab, a Humanized Anti-TWEAK Receptor Monoclonal Antibody, Exerts Antitumor Activity through Attracting and Activating Innate Immune Effector Cells by Shiming Ye, Melvin I. Fox, Nicole A. Belmar, Mien Sho, Debra T. Chao, Donghee Choi, Yuni Fang, Vivian Zhao, Stephen F. Keller, Gary C. Starling, Patricia A. Culp

“…The involvement of effector cells was further confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which revealed strong infiltration of CD45+ effector cells into tumor xenografts in responding models, but minimal infiltration in nonresponders. Consistent with the xenograft studies, human effector cells preferentially migrated toward in vivo-responsive tumor cells treated by enavatuzumab in vitro, with the majority of migratory cells being monocytes. …”
