Results from randomized controlled trials of upadacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, have led to its approval for the treatment moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients aged ≥ 12 years. The aim this study was report effectiveness and safety upadacitinib real-world settings over period 96 weeks. This retrospective included all treated with at our centre between April 2022 September 2024. Clinical patient-reported outcomes were recorded assessed each follow-up visit eczema...
Although a temporal artery biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA), there considerable evidence that characteristic signs demonstrated by colour duplex sonography (CDS) arteries may be diagnostic importance. We aimed to test hypothesis CDS can replace in algorithm approach diagnose GCA. Bilateral was performed consecutive patients older than 50 years with clinically suspected GCA, as well 15 age- and gender-matched control subjects diabetes mellitus and/or...
In an interview based, case control study of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) 168 cases and 137 controls were included. Patients interviewed with regard to a variety socioeconomic, medical dietary factors. During univariate analysis it was found that RA consumed significantly less olive oil fish adhered more rarely the restrictions traditional in Orthodox lent than controls.Applying multiple logistic though (by which several variables controlled for), only association consumption adherence remained...
To report clinical experience from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who were receiving recommended doses of hydroxychloroquine for more than six years, monitored evidence related retinopathy every months.A prospective (and continuing) evaluation was made the potential retinal toxicity in a cohort 360 Greek followed RA SLE, 58 whom have received long term treatment ( > years). Fundoscopy, colour vision tests, dark adaptation visual field testing,...
We aimed to develop and validate a diagnostic model for sepsis among neonates evaluated suspected sepsis, by incorporating thromboelastometry parameters, maternal/neonatal risk factors, clinical signs/symptoms laboratory results.This retrospective cohort study included 291 with presumed hospitalized in NICU, from 07/2014 07/2021. Laboratory tests were obtained on disease onset prior initiating antibiotic therapy. Τhromboelastometry extrinsically activated (EXTEM) assay was performed...
Objective. To assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab or cyclosporine (CYC) as monotherapy combination therapy for patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), despite methotrexate (MTX) therapy. Methods. A prospective 12-month, nonrandomized, unblinded clinical trial 57, 58, 55 who received CYC (2.5–3.75 mg/kg/day), (40 mg every other week), combination, respectively. Lowering concomitant nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) corticosteroids reductions and/or doses in...
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory, potentially scarring disease of the hair follicle, affecting apocrine gland-bearing skin areas. The major comorbid disorders associated with occurrence or aggravation are obesity and smoking. Numerous efforts to dissociate these factors led controversial results.To assess importance metabolic disorders/obesity, smoking/environmental toxins, inflammation in HS by utilizing differential expression relevant protein markers lesional obese/smoking...
A 59-year-old woman suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia developed pulmonary lesions; bronchoalveolar lavage was performed for possible systemic fungal infection. However, direct microscopic analysis revealed ciliated protozoa identified as Balantidium coli. B. coli is the only known pathogenic ciliate, and usually associated with intestinal infection in areas pig rearing. On very rare occasions organisms may invade extra-intestinal organs, this case lungs of an immunocompromised...
In patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is frequently present and associated pulmonary hypertension (PHT). Elevated artery systolic pressure (PASP) an indicator of PHT can be estimated noninvasively. We attempt to explore the significance RP in SLE correlate it clinical serological parameters disease. The study population consisted 34 (age, sex disease duration matched) who fulfilled revised criteria American College Rheumatology, were categorized into...
