Choice of Drugs in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
RHEUMATOLOGY IN GENERAL PRACTICE 7 Those with predominant but never exclusive involvement of the terminal finger joint, usually associated with changes in the nail of the same finger; they are serologically negative. There may be a swollen finger with loss of the skin markings-a sort of dactylitis, again serologically negative. (2) Those with a much more severe process which produces loss of movement in the spine and changes in the sacroiliac joints much the same as those in ankylosing spondylitis; unlike ankylosing spondylitis, it produces severe deformity often with ankylosis in peripheral joints. Many of the finger joints become deformed and ankylosed. (3) Those cases indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis although the majority are sero-negative. The Stevens Johnson syndrome produces acute effusions, particularly in large joints. It is sometimes associated with the rash of erythema multiforme, always with ulceration in the mouth and genital tract; the mouth ulcers are accompanied by sloughing, unlike those of Beh9et's syndrome which we come to next. BehCet's syndrome, originally described as a combination of orogenital ulceration with relapsing iritis, is now expanded to include skin lesions, other eye lesions, lesions of the central nervous system, thrombophlebitis migrans, and arthropathy (occurring in 64 per cent). The onset is acute, often affecting only a single joint and settling without residual trouble. Choice of drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis Dr Dudley Hart, M.D., F.R.C.P. (Consultant physician, Westminster Hospital and Medical School) There are many potential drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid disease, but what are we treating in this disorder? Pain in rheumatoid arthritis is but one of the symp- toms. -

Bleeding Disorders of Importance in Dental Care and Related Patient Management
Clinical P RACTIC E Bleeding Disorders of Importance in Dental Care and Related Patient Management Contact Author Anurag Gupta, BDS; Joel B. Epstein, DMD, MSD, FRCD(C); Robert J. Cabay, MD, DDS Dr. Epstein Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Oral care providers must be aware of the impact of bleeding disorders on the manage- ment of dental patients. Initial recognition of a bleeding disorder, which may indicate the presence of a systemic pathologic process, may occur in dental practice. Furthermore, prophylactic, restorative and surgical dental care of patients with bleeding disorders is best accomplished by practitioners who are knowledgeable about the pathology, com- plications and treatment options associated with these conditions. The purpose of this paper is to review common bleeding disorders and their effects on the delivery of oral health care.

CHAPTER 1 General Introduction
CHAPTER 1 General Introduction Chapter 1 1.1 General Introduction Drugs are defined as chemical substances that are used to prevent or cure diseases in humans and animals. Drugs can also act as poisons if taken in excess. For example paracetamol overdose causes coma and death. Apart from the curative effect of drugs, most of them have several unwanted biological effects known as side effects. Aspirin which is commonly used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever and as an anti-inflammatory medication, may also cause gastric irritation and bleeding. Also many drugs, such as antibiotics, when over used develop resistance to the patients, microorganisms and virus which are intended to control by drug. Resistance occurs when a drug is no longer effective in controlling a medical condition.1 Thus, new drugs are constantly required to surmount drug resistance, for the improvement in the treatment of existing diseases, the treatment of newly identified disease, minimise the adverse side effects of existing drugs etc. Drugs are classified in number of different ways depending upon their mode of action such as antithrombotic drugs, analgesic, antianxiety, diuretics, antidepressant and antibiotics etc.2 Antithrombotic drugs are one of the most important classes of drugs which can be shortly defined as ―drugs that reduce the formation of blood clots‖. The blood coagulation, also known as haemostasis is a physiological process in which body prevents blood loss by forming stable clot at the site of injury. Clot formation is a coordinated interplay of two fundamental processes, aggregation of platelets and formation of fibrin. -

The interactions between the various substrates in this pathway and their competition for the pathway enzymes are currently unknown. The pathway consists of a mitochondrial xenobiotic/medium-chain fatty acid: coenzyme A (CoA) ligase (ACSM2B) and glycine N-acyltransferase (GLYAT). The catalytic mechanism and substrate specificity of both of these enzymes have not been thoroughly characterised. In this study, the level of evolutionary conservation of GLYAT missense variants and haplotypes were analysed. From these data, haplotype variants were selected (156Asn > Ser, [17Ser > Thr,156Asn > Ser] and [156Asn > Ser,199Arg > Cys]) in order to characterise the kinetic mechanism of the enzyme over a wide range of substrate concentra- tions. The 156Asn > Ser haplotype has the highest frequency and the highest relative enzyme activity in all populations studied, and hence was used as the reference in this study. Cooperative substrate Citation: Rohwer, J.M.; Schutte, C.; binding was observed, and the kinetic data were fitted to a two-substrate Hill equation. -

Biochemical Investigations in the Rare Disease Alkaptonuria: Studies on the Metabolome and the Nature of Ochronotic Pigment
Biochemical Investigations in the Rare Disease Alkaptonuria: Studies on the Metabolome and the Nature of Ochronotic Pigment Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Brendan Paul Norman September 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is hard to describe the journey this PhD has taken me on without reverting to well-worn clichés. There has been plenty of challenges along the way, but ultimately I can look back on the past four years with a great sense of pride, both in the work presented here and the skills I have developed. Equally important though are the relationships I have established. I have lots of people to thank for playing a part in this thesis. First, I would like to thank my supervisors, Jim Gallagher, Lakshminarayan Ranganath and Norman Roberts for giving me this fantastic opportunity. Your dedication to research into alkaptonuria (AKU) is inspiring and our discussions together have always been thoughtful and often offered fresh perspective on my work. It has been a pleasure to work under your supervision and your ongoing support and encouragement continues to drive me on. It has truly been a pleasure to be part of the AKU research group. Andrew Davison deserves a special mention - much of the highs and lows of our PhD projects have been experienced together. Learning LC-QTOF-MS was exciting (and continues to be) but equally daunting at the start of our projects (admittedly more so for me as a Psychology graduate turned mass spectrometrist!). I am very proud of what we have achieved together, largely starting from scratch on the instrument, and we are continuing to learn all the time. -
