Disproportionality analysis of upadacitinib-related adverse events in inflammatory bowel disease using the FDA adverse event reporting system by Shiyi Wang, Xiaojian Wang, Jing Ding, Xudong Zhang, Hongmei Zhu, Yihong Fan, Changbo Sun

“…Subgroup analysis indicated that the most prevalent AEs among the elderly included pulmonary embolism, cataract, and sepsis, whereas the 18–65 age group most frequently reported acne, abdominal pain, and nasopharyngitis. The median onset time for AEs related to upadacitinib was 41.00 days (interquartile range [IQR] 10–141.5 days), with the majority occurring within 3 months of treatment initiation (n = 269, 66.09%), particularly in the first month (n = 171, 42.01%).ConclusionOur findings affirm clinical observations and reveal potential new AE signals for upadacitinib, underscoring the need for prospective clinical studies to verify these results and clarify their clinical relevance. …”

Die Entstehung der Entstehung by Thomas Christensen

“…I will conclude with some thoughts as to why the question of tonality’s origins suddenly seemed to have become such a pressing issue of vital importance to German musicologists writing in the 1950s and 60s. At the same time, I will show how Dahlhaus’s analytic thoughts concerning the beginning of harmonic tonality reveal surprising resemblance to his thoughts concerning the loosening of tonality in the late 19th century, particularly in the music of Wagner.…”
