ABSTRACT Objectives: We examined the fecal virome and bacterial community composition of children with Crohn disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), healthy controls to test hypothesis that unique patterns viral organisms and/or presence pathogens may be identified could contribute pathogenesis pediatric inflammatory bowel (IBD). Methods: Fecal samples from 24 (mean 12.2 years) CD (n = 7) or UC 5) similar aged 12) were processed determine individual viromes. Viral sequences through translated...

A subset of children who receive a liver and/or kidney transplant develop de novo inflammatory bowel disease-like chronic intestinal inflammation, not explained by infection or medications, following transplant. We have conducted single-center, retrospective case series describing the unique clinical and histologic features this IBD-like inflammation solid organ At our center, nine 327 recipients developed IBD (six liver, two kidney, one liver-kidney). Most presented with prolonged...
A 5-month-old girl presented with 1 month of rectal bleeding, failure to thrive, and anemia. Appearing otherwise well, she was diagnosed as having cow's-milk protein allergy. Despite change elemental formula, symptoms persisted, severe anemia (hematocrit 22.3%) clinical findings worsening include cervical lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, papular truncal rash, which had been eczema by a dermatologist. sigmoidoscopy showed nodular, erythematous rectosigmoid lesions, some central ulceration...
Airway management is one of the most important anaesthetist's skills as major complications airway management, although rare, can be among life threatening in medicine. Crouzon syndrome a rare condition with physical characteristics that result difficult manipulation. A correct preanaesthetic evaluation and planned preinduction strategy should designed to facilitate intubation.
<h3>Background:</h3> Anti-Ro52 antibodies are present in autoimmune connective tissue diseases (AICTD), as Sjögren's syndrome (SSj), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sclerosis (SSc) or idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). antibody positivity (Ro52+) has been related to more severe clinical phenotypes, including interstitial lung disease (ILD). [1] The microcirculation involvement patients with anti-Ro52 is yet be disclosed. <h3>Objectives:</h3> aim of this study analyze the...
The report highlights the importance of strict clinico-histological correlations when skin biopsies are performed in diagnostic doubt systemic lupus erythematosus. Furthermore, PUVA is never indicated autoimmune conditions involving photosensitivity, due to high potential for internal and cutaneous aggravation disease, as authors observed this case.

Acute renal dysfunction contraindicated fluorescein or indocyanine green angiography. The presence choroidopathy was first presentation nephritis. She treated corticosteroids immunosuppressive agents resolution...
We aimed to identify features that allow differentiation of primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) patients suffer recurrent thrombotic events (RTE) despite anticoagulation, from the other diagnosed PAPS patients.This was an exploratory study anticoagulated attending Autoimmune Diseases Unit (1998-2018). From 2016, anti-phospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant were determined for each patient at consecutive visits, collected together with retrospective clinical characteristics,...
Sicca symptoms, such as xerostomia and xerophthalmia, are prevalent in geriatric patients correlated toexhaustion low quality of life. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocyticinfiltration the exocrine glands, also exhibits xerophthalmia a main feature. In clinical practice,tools exist to assess disease activity severity symptoms Sjögren’s: EULAR SyndromeDisease Activity Index (ESSDAI) Syndrome Patient Reported (ESSPRI), respectively.Our objective is...
