Therapeutic progress and future prospects of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy
AbstractChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare and heterogeneous but treatable immune-mediated neuropathy. The pathogenesis of CIDP is complex interplay of diverse immune mechanisms involving cellular and humoral pathways. The European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society guidelines were reissued in 2021, and the classification and diagnostic criteria were changed. Treatments include immunoglobulin, steroid, and plasmapheresis are effective, including remission induction and maintenance therapy. Maintenance treatments are often required for years, and treatment regimens require ...

Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase and Hormonal Contraceptives on Resting Metabolic Rate and Body Composition
Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2024 Apr 23:1-11. doi: 10.1123/ijsnem.2023-0193. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cyclical changes in sex hormones across the menstrual cycle (MC) are associated with various biological changes that may alter resting metabolic rate (RMR) and body composition estimates. Hormonal contraceptive (HC) use must also be considered given their impact on endogenous sex hormone concentrations and synchronous exogenous profiles. The purpose of this study was to determine if RMR and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition estimates change across the MC and differ compared with HC users. This wa...

Explore the effect of apparent temperature and air pollutants on the admission rate of acute myocardial infarction in Chongqing, China: a time-series study
Conclusion
The occurrence of decreased apparent temperature levels was discovered to be linked with a heightened relative risk of hospitalisations for AMI. PM2.5 and NO2 have an effect modification on the association between apparent temperature and admission rate of AMI. (Source: BMJ Open)

Updates on Coding in Dermatology
Correct coding is an important component of effective dermatology practice management. Over the past several years there have been updates to many commonly used codes within dermatology. This review highlights many of these updates, such as: The skin biopsy codes have been subdivided to reflect the different biopsy techniques. The definition of complex linear repairs has been updated and clarified. Outpatient and inpatient evaluation and management visits have new coding guidelines to determine level of care.
