Vitamin D levels in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy patients: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis showed correlations between vitamin D level and IIM. The results indicated, VDD may be a risk factor for IIM, a determinant of immune dysregulation in IIM, or a consequence of IIM. Also, it implied further research to determine whether vitamin D supplementation is beneficial for patients with IIM.PMID:38420733 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2325335 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Retrospective evaluation of 130 cases with kawasaki disease follow-up in a tertiary care center in Turkey between 1999 and 2019: a 20-year experience
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of CAL is approximately three times higher in our results than in the Japanese data in recent years. We showed that the time of IVIG administration is the most critical factor for preventing CAL. Wide-ranging studies are needed to decently predict the disease process according to the age and region of patients.PMID:38420903 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2325334 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Adverse events of biological agents in pediatric rheumatologic diseases

While local skin reactions are more prevalent in patients receiving anti-IL1, severe skin reactions such as DRESS may also occur.PMID:38415679 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2325333 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)
