The impact of hormones in autoimmune cutaneous diseases
CONCLUSION: Pregnancy, menopause, contraceptive use, hormone replacement therapy, and breast cancer treatment drugs result in substantial shifts in hormone levels. Additionally, hormone levels are altered by aromatase inhibitors and anti-estrogen medications. These fluctuations can modulate mechanisms influencing autoimmune skin abnormalities.PMID:38317519 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2024.2312241 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

Taipan snake venom time has high sensitivity for lupus anticoagulants in non-anticoagulated, triple positive antiphospholipid syndrome patients
CONCLUSIONS: TSVT/ET has high sensitivity for the clinically significant LA found in triple positive APS patients. TSVT/ET can establish multiple LA assay positivity in nonanticoagulated patients negative for one of dRVVT or APTT, and is the only assay pairing insensitive to VKAs, the recommended anticoagulation for APS.PMID:38303489 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14240 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)

Coil Embolization of a Large Recurrent Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation by Retrograde Transseptal Pulmonary Vein Access
A 55-year-old woman presented with stroke and exercise intolerance and was found to have a complex right lower lobe pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). The PAVM morphology was complex with an extensive number of small feeding arteries/arterioles and 1 dominant draining vein (Fig 1). The PAVM was treated with transarterial embolization in 3 separate procedures over a 6-year time span, using multiple vascular plugs and coils. The patient was also diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome and started on warfarin anticoagulation. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR)

Analysis of clinical, immunological characteristics, damage, and survival in 300 Turkish systemic lupus erythematosus patients
CONCLUSION: Ethnicity and geography influence the clinical diversity of SLE. Recognizing these disparities is crucial for tailoring patient care. Future inception cohort studies in Turkish SLE patients are necessary to address the limitations of retrospective research.PMID:38258530 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241228174 (Source: Lupus)

The prevalence and incidence of thrombotic primary antiphospholipid syndrome in adults aged 18-49 years: A population-based study in a mountain community in northern Italy
CONCLUSIONS: Thrombotic PAPS was found to be a rare disease in this population-based study. Prevalence and incidence were not significantly different between males and females aged 18-49 years, but a different type of onset was observed.PMID:38246213 | DOI:10.1016/j.clim.2024.109905 (Source: Clinical Immunology)

The effects of hydroxychloroquine and its promising use in refractory obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome
AbstractHydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is obtained by hydroxylation of chloroquine (CQ) and the first indication was malaria. Nowadays, HCQ is commonly used in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with favorable results. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity and persistent positivity of antiphospholipid antibodies. Around 20 –30% of pregnant women with APS develop adverse pregnancy outcomes despite conventional treatment with aspirin and heparin, called refractory obstetric APS. Interestingly, HCQ has shown positive effects on...
