TL;DR: The current evidence suggests that hyperinsulinaemia may elevate Abeta through insulin's competition with Abeta for IDE, and the role of IDE in the pathogenesis of AD is reviewed, which may uncover potential treatment target.

TL;DR: Treatment with adalimumab (40 mg weekly), as compared with placebo, resulted in significantly higher clinical response rates in both trials at 12 weeks; rates of serious adverse events were similar in the study groups.
Abstract: BackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa is a painful, chronic inflammatory skin disease with few options for effective treatment. In a phase 2 trial, adalimumab, an antibody against tumor necrosis factor α, showed efficacy against hidradenitis suppurativa. MethodsPIONEER I and II were similarly designed, phase 3 multicenter trials of adalimumab for hidradenitis suppurativa, with two double-blind, placebo-controlled periods. In period 1, patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 40 mg of adalimumab weekly or matching placebo for 12 weeks. In period 2, patients were reassigned to adalimumab at a weekly or every-other-week dose or to placebo for 24 weeks. The primary end point was a clinical response, defined as at least a 50% reduction from baseline in the abscess and inflammatory-nodule count, with no increase in abscess or draining-fistula counts, at week 12. ResultsWe enrolled 307 patients in PIONEER I and 326 in PIONEER II. Clinical response rates at week 12 were significantly higher for the groups r...

TL;DR: The high mortality for those reintubated for nonairway problems indicate that efforts should be preferentially focused on identifying these patients, and the effect of time to reintubsation suggests that identification of patients early after extubation and timely reinstitution of ventilatory support has the potential to reduce the increased mortality associated withextubation failure.
Abstract: Patients requiring reintubation after failed extubation have a poor prognosis, with hospital mortality exceeding 30 to 40%, though the reason remains unclear. To examine the impact of etiology of extubation failure and time to reintubation on hospital outcome, we performed a post hoc analysis of prospectively gathered data on 74 MICU patients (47 men, 27 women), 64 +/- 2 yr of age who required reintubation within 72 h of extubation. Cause for reintubation was classified as airway (upper airway obstruction, 11; aspiration/excess pulmonary secretions, 12) or nonairway (respiratory failure, 21; congestive heart failure, 17; encephalopathy, 7; other, 6). The duration of mechanical ventilation prior to extubation was 139 +/- 19 h, and the median time to reintubation was 21 h. Thirty-one of 74 patients (42%) died, with mortality highest for patients failing from nonairway etiologies (27/51, 53% versus 4/23, 17%; p 12 h, 25/49; p < 0.05). With multiple logistic regression, both cause for extubation failure and time to reintubation were independently associated with hospital mortality. In conclusion, etiology of extubation failure and time to reintubation are independent predictors of outcome in reintubated MICU patients. The high mortality for those reintubated for nonairway problems indicate that efforts should be preferentially focused on identifying these patients. The effect of time to reintubation suggests that identification of patients early after extubation and timely reinstitution of ventilatory support has the potential to reduce the increased mortality associated with extubation failure.
