rmsf :: Article Creator What Does A Tick Bite Look Like? What do tick bites look like and what other symptoms may develop? Tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), for example, cause a distinct circular rash and flu-like symptoms. However, you are unlikely to notice a tick bite unless you develop an infection or allergic reaction, which can take several days to weeks to appear. There's a good chance you will not even know a tick has bitten you unless you find one still attached to your skin. That's because initially, tick bites on humans are nearly invisible, unlike mosquito bites, which often cause a reaction right away. Ticks need to stay attached for quite some time to cause illness and for a rash to develop. Anakopa / Getty Images There are over 800 types of ticks, which are parasites that range in color and size. Ticks can be reddish-brown or dark brown and so small that you cannot s...

alagille syndrome :: Article Creator Ipsen's Alagille Drug Backed By CHMP Again, With New Name In unusual circumstances, Ipsen has been given the green light for its odevixibat drug for severe itching (pruritus) in patients with rare liver disease Alagille syndrome (ALGS) in the EU – for the second year running. The once-daily, non-systemic ileal bile acid transport (IBAT) inhibitor was recommended for approval by the EMA's human medicines committee, the CHMP, in July 2023 for this indication under the Bylvay brand. It is already approved in the EU under that name for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), another rare disease affecting the liver. That recommendation came however without the orphan status that can often be the key to unlocking reimbursement decisions in EU member states and also provides 10 years of marketing exclusivity after approval by the European Commission. Ipsen was unable to convince the EMA that...
