An experimental randomized study on the analgesic effects of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis in chronic pain patients with fibromyalgia

TL;DR: This experimental trial shows the complex behavior of inhaled cannabinoids in chronic pain patients with just small analgesic responses after a single inhalation, indicative of synergistic pharmacokinetic but antagonistic pharmacodynamic interactions of THC and CBD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acyclovir Prophylaxis Predisposes to Antiviral Resistant Recurrent Herpetic Keratitis

TL;DR: The data suggest that long-term ACV prophylaxis predisposes to ACV-refractory disease due to the emergence of corneal ACV(R) HSV-1, andACV-susceptibility testing is warranted during follow-up of rHK patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local CD4 and CD8 T-cell reactivity to HSV-1 antigens documents broad viral protein expression and immune competence in latently infected human trigeminal ganglia.

TL;DR: Intra-TG retention of virus-specific CD4 T-cells, validated to the HSV-1 peptide level, implies trafficking of viral proteins from neurons to HLA class II-expressing non-neuronal cells for antigen presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cibinetide Improves Corneal Nerve Fiber Abundance in Patients With Sarcoidosis-Associated Small Nerve Fiber Loss and Neuropathic Pain

TL;DR: The relationships between CNFA and other clinical measures of disease support its use as a surrogate endpoints for disease modification, pain severity, and functional capacity to assess potential disease modifying therapies for neuropathy.
