New advancements at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen bring new possibilities for treating severe lupus nephritis, a critical kidney complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A recent case study details the recovery of a 15-year-old patient who, after receiving CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy, was freed from hemodialysis and showed significant improvements in kidney function and overall health. This innovative therapy, previously successful in adult patients with refractory SLE, now demonstrates its potential in adolescents. Published in a recent medical journal, this represents a significant step forward in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, showcasing the transformative potential of CAR T-cell therapy for severe lupus nephritis. #AutoimmuneDisease #LupusNephritis #CARTherapy #MedicalResearch #Innovation #UniversityHospitalErlangen

PRP in Joint Diseases: New Approaches in Osteoarthritis Treatment Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, affects millions of people worldwide and significantly impacts their quality of life. In recent years, new approaches to treating this condition have emerged, including the promising use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). 💉🦴 PRP acts through various mechanisms to promote joint health. The release of growth factors stimulates cell proliferation and collagen synthesis, supporting the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Additionally, PRP possesses anti-inflammatory properties, reducing joint inflammation and alleviating pain and swelling. 🌱🔄 Research in this field will contribute to defining the optimal application of PRP in osteoarthritis treatment and clarifying the long-term effects of this promising therapeutic option. 🧪🔬 #Osteoarthritis #JointHealth #PRPTreatment #MedicalResearch #Prp #PrpMed #PrpTreatments🩸🦴

📢 New Findings on Neuropathic Pain in Spondyloarthritis (SpA)!🔍 Our latest study, in collaboration with Prof Maria Sole Chimenti dives deep into the prevalence and characteristics of neuropathic pain in patients with SpA, including axial SpA, psoriatic arthritis, and undifferentiated peripheral SpA.🦴💥 💡 Key Takeaways: - 22.2% of patients show a high likelihood of neuropathic pain (PD-Q score ≥19) ⚠️ - Females and obese patients report significantly higher pain scores 👩⚕️⚖️ - Strong correlations between neuropathic pain and disease activity indices like DAPSA and ASDAS-CRP📊 🧠 Why it matters: Understanding the role of neuropathic pain is essential to better assess disease activity and tailor treatments for SpA patients. 🎯 RheumNow Sergio del Vescovo #Rheumatology #Spondyloarthritis #NeuropathicPain #PatientCare #pChronicPain #ClinicalResearch

Very interesting!! this also reaffirm why examination and description of the pain is so important to consider when you value disease activity.

Approximately two-fifths of liver failure patients will develop hepatic encephalopathy, and its clinical symptoms are crucial for diagnosing acute on chronic liver failure patients. Inflammation and cytokine storms play a major role in the development of hepatic encephalopathy in ACLF patients, and DPMAS can adsorb inflammatory factors, alleviate symptoms, and improve the prognosis of the patient. Click on the poster and link to learn more about Dr. Ira Yu's insights from his lecture at the 2023 International Hemoadsorption Summit.

#Arthritis impacts people of all ages, whether it is common autoimmune diseases like #RheumatoidArthritis (RA) or rarer conditions such as #Still’s #disease. Early detection is essential for better patient outcomes. At BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG, we developed the #sCAL®turbo assay – a powerful #biomarker test for assessing inflammation. With its #turbidimetric technology, it offers rapid, flexible, and automated solutions for clinical laboratories, enabling high throughput and precise results. Detecting elevated #serum #calprotectin levels supports differential diagnosis and ensures optimal therapy monitoring.
