Examining the Correlation between Allergic Conjunctivitis and Allergic Rhinitis
CONCLUSIONS: AC and AR share a common pathophysiological process and allergen profile, with the conjunctiva and nasal mucosa serving as sites of allergic reactions. This study suggests the integration of AC prevention and treatment into AR prevention strategies.PMID:37971456 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Mendelian randomization studies in atopic dermatitis: a systematic review
Prior studies have found associations between atopic dermatitis (AD) and comorbidities including depression, obesity, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. While observational studies often cannot establish robust causality between potential risk factors and AD, Mendelian randomization (MR) minimizes confounding when exploring causality by relying on random allelic assortment at birth. Here, we systematically reviewed 30 MR studies in AD. Body mass index, gut microbial flora, the IL18 signaling pathway, and gastroesophageal reflux disease were among causal factors for AD, while AD was causal for several medical conditions includi...

Clinical effects of dupilumab: A novel treatment for Kimura disease
ConclusionTraditional treatments have raised developmental concerns in the pediatric population and are associated with high recurrence rates. Dupilumab targets the Th2 pathway and provides effective results, with few adverse effects. Dupilumab may be a therapeutic option for KD and other diseases involving the Th2 pathway.

In praise of povidone-iodine application in ophthalmology
Polyvinyl pyrrolidone or povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is a water-soluble complex formed by the combination of iodine and a water-soluble polymer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone. This complex exerts bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal action by gradually releasing free iodine at the site of application to react with pathogens. In ophthalmology, PVP-I is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic agent for preoperative preparation of the skin and mucous membranes and for treating contaminated wounds. PVP-I has been shown to reduce effectively the risk of endophthalmitis in various ocular procedures, including cataract surgery and intravitr...

Comprehensive Profile of Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance in Conjunctivitis Cases from Niger
This study focuses on the pathogen and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles identified in Niger. Sixty-two patients with acute infectious conjunctivitis who presented to health posts were enrolled from December 2021 to May 2022. Nasal and conjunctival swabs were obtained from each patient. Unbiased RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to identify associated pathogens. A pathogen was identified in 39 patients (63%; 95% CI, 50-74). Of those, an RNA virus was detected in 23 patients (59%; 95% CI, 43-73). RNA viruses were diverse and included human coronaviruses (HCoVs): SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-229E, HCoV-HKU1, and HCoV-OC43. A ...
