Perioperative steroid injection in elbow arthroscopy
Acta Orthop Belg. 2024 Mar;90(1):67-71. doi: 10.52628/90.1.12493.ABSTRACTThe goal of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of infection after perioperative intra-articular steroid injection during elbow arthroscopy. Starting from May 2019, we prospectively included all patients that underwent an elbow arthroscopy for various indications. All patients received preoperative antibiotics intravenously and a corticosteroid injection immediately after portal closure. Patients who needed ligamentous repair and aged below 18 years old were excluded. Final follow up of all patients was 3 months. In total, 108 elbow arthro...

Vogt –Koyanagi–Harada disease after SARS‐CoV‐2 infection: Case report and literature review
ConclusionDespite the unclear causality, it is important for ophthalmologists and physicians to be recognizant of the possible association between VKH disease and COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 may play a potential immunological triggering role in VKH disease. However, further in-depth research is necessary to investigate the clinical and epidemiological features, as well as the underlying mechanisms of this association.

Case of IgG4-related Disease with Crescentic Glomerulonephritis: An Unusual Presentation of the Disease
Iran J Kidney Dis. 2024 Mar;18(2):133-135. doi: 10.5254/dt6zs176.ABSTRACTIgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease, characterized by tissue infiltration of lymphocytes and IgG4-secreting plasma cells, presenting by fibrosis of different tissues, which is usually responsive only to oral steroids therapy. Kidneys are the most commonly involved organs, exhibiting renal insufficiency, tubulointerstitial nephritis, and glomerulonephritis. Here, we describe a patient with acute renal insufficiency who was presented with edema, weakness, anemia and multiple lymphadenopathies. Kidney and lymph node ...

The relationship between prescription rates of oral corticosteroids for respiratory diseases and deprivation in England
This study carried out a multivariable regression analysis of publicly available data and found that deprivation is associated with a statistically significant increase in the proportion of patients receiving an OCS prescription for asthma or COPD at a GP practice level (p < 0.001). The model estimated that the proportion of prescriptions is 1.88% (95% CI 1.83% to 1.92%) and 2.84% (95% CI 2.70% to 2.98%) for the least deprived GP practice and the most deprived GP practice, respectively. This study lays the groundwork for future research using individual patient level data to consider the impact of variation in OCS presc...

Hepatic micro ‐abscesses as an unusual initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report
We report the case of a 27-year-old female who presented with persistent high-grade fever, bilateral exudative lymphocytic pleural effusion, hepatic micro-abscesses, anemia, and lymphopenia. Despite extensive investigations and antibiotic therapy, the patient's condition continued to worsen. The diagnosis of hepatic vasculitis, a rare manifestation of SLE, was ultimately made based on clinical suspicion, positive autoimmune markers, and negative septic workup. The patient responded well to high-dose corticosteroid therapy and intravenous immunoglobulin, with resolution of liver lesions and clinical improvement. Hepatic inv...
