Patent
Inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production by cholinergic agonists and vagus nerve stimulation
TL;DR: In this article, a method of inhibiting the release of a proinflammatory cytokine in a cell is disclosed, which comprises treating the cell with a cholinergic agonist, which is useful in patients at risk for, or suffering from, a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade, for example endotoxic shock.
Patent
Neural stimulation devices and systems for treatment of chronic inflammation
TL;DR: In this article, a system for treating chronic inflammation may include an implantable micro-stimulator, a wearable charger, and optionally an external controller, which can address several types of stimulation including regular dose delivery.

Cytotoxic Drugs in Treatment of Nonmalignant Diseases
Alfred D. Steinberg,Paul H. Plotz,Sheldon M. Wolff,Vernon G. Wong,Saul G. Agus,John L. Decker +5 more
TL;DR: The basis for using cytotoxic drugs in inflammatory diseases of uncertain cause is their immunosuppressive properties, and these drugs interrupt nucleic acid and protein synthesis, thereby halting their activity in these diseases.
Patent
Nerve cuff with pocket for leadless stimulator
TL;DR: An extravascular nerve cuff that is configured to hold a leadless, integral, implantable microstimulator is described in this paper, where the nerve cuff can be secured around the nerve such that the electrodes of the device are stably positioned relative to the nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low dose oral methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis: an uncontrolled trial and review of the literature
TL;DR: Despite the encouraging preliminary results it is unclear whether MTX can prevent erosions or improve long-term function and quality of life in RA, there are still no controlled perspective studies comparing MTX to placebo or other immunosuppressive agents in RA.

Nature and mode of action of antilymphocytic antiserum.
R H Levey,P B Medawar +1 more
TL;DR: The experiments reported here are intended to throw further light on the nature and mode of action of ALS and the sensitivity aroused in CBA mice by grafts of A skin, as measured by the survival time of a second graft transplanted at various intervals after the rejection of a first graft.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanism of cortisone inhibition of connective tissue proliferation
TL;DR: Cortisone was effective by local as well as by general application, similar concentrations producing the same degree of inhibition of connective tissue.

Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of the Local Inflammatory Response in Man by Antimetabolites
TL;DR: Observations of the response in ten untreated patients with acute leukemia showed both impaired granulocyte and mononuclear phases of the responded, which was not correlated with alterations in the levels of circulating granulocytes or lymphocytes, nor with the numbers ofgranulocytes entering the inflammatory site.
