Cystoid macular oedema is common in uveitis. In this article we explore outcomes of treatment in real world practice, including some groups usually not included in studies such as infectious uveitis and also anterior uveitis. Thanks Nazima Ali for all your hard work on this.
Ahead of print Dihydroartemisinin ameliorated the inflammatory response and regulated miRNA-mRNA expression profile of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Patients often have trouble urinating, experience painful and frequent urination, and pelvic floor pain, which seriously affects their quality of life. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is the most important artemisinin derivative with good anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanism of DHA for CNP has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the protective effect of DHA on CNP in mice model and to explore the potential mechanisms from the perspective of microRNAs (miRNAs). https://lnkd.in/dxYYh_iK

Half of Abnormal Liver Tests Point to Treatable Fatty Liver Disease: New AI Tool Assists Doctors The intelligent Liver Function Testing (iLFT) platform analyzes standard liver function tests and recommends further testing or suggests if a patient can be safely managed by their PCP. Fascinating, right? * 68% of patients using iLFT required further testing after their initial liver function test. * The most common finding was isolated abnormal alanine transaminase (ALT), often linked to fatty liver disease. * Half of the additional tests provided a cause for the liver dysfunction. * iLFT helped reduce unnecessary referrals to specialists by 34%. * More research is needed to refine the platform and optimize cost-effectiveness. iLFT has the potential to improve liver disease diagnosis and care, especially for fatty liver disease, a major health concern. #liverhealth #fattyliver #aihealthcare #primarycare #medicalinnovation #chronicillness #hepatitis #cirrhosis #medicaltechnology

Belimumab should always be given in combination with MMF or low-dose CYC as initial therapy, and with MMF or AZA as maintenance therapy. ˆCNIs should be given in combination with MMF. *Particularly recommended in the presence of poor prognostic factors: reduced eGFR, histological presence of cellular crescents or fibrinoid necrosis, or severe interstitial inflammation. Extension of high-dose CYC to subsequent phase refers to severe LN cases, in which bimonthly or quarterly CYC pulses may be given following six monthly pulses. †In relapsing/refractory disease, especially after failure to CYC-based regimens.

KAVALACTONES SERIES, PART 3: Our latest blog article delves into two major kavalactones, methysticin and dihydromethysticin. While sharing similar pharmacological properties, they differ in potency. This article provides an examination of the scientific literature concerning kava and kavalactones. It is important to note that this article is not intended to serve as an endorsement for diagnosing, treating, preventing, or curing any disease. #kava #kavalactones #kavaculture #kavacommunity
Morsing et al from Denmark report a case of leishmaniasis in a patient with psoriatic arthritis who had recently traveled to northern Italy. The new cutaneous lesions were intially thought to represent psorasis, but persisted and were eventually correctly diagnosed and treated. It is important to consider opportunistic infections in the differential diagnosis, and remember that travel history may contribute to the risk of such complications in immunocompromised patients.

Topic of discussion in isolated small bowel CD. Does Fc have clinical utility? Fecal cal may serve as a topographical marker of CD-activity, with its sensitivity to identify mucosal inflammation increasing from proximal to distal small bowel segments.
Every March 18 marks National Protect Liver Day in China, the theme of this year calls for “Early prevention and screening to keep you away from #liver cirrhosis”. Any kind of #hepatitis that develops for a long time will cause serious damage to human health and can even present a threat to life. In response to the action of guarding human health and caring for hepatitis patients, #KHB and #Tianlong has developed overall solutions for the accurate detection of #HBV, and also assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis diseases including #HCV, #HAV and #HEV.
