Administration of oral prednisolone to prevent esophageal stricture after balloon-type radiofrequency ablation for ultralong-segment esophageal neoplasia
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has shown good efficacy and safety in eradicating flat-type early esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN). However, post-RFA stricture is still a major concern, especially when treating ultralong-segment ESCNs. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisolone to prevent post-RFA stricture. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Sarcoidosis as a cause of chronic back pain: a case report
In this report, we present a case involving a previously healthy 55-year-old woman who sought medical attention due to chronic back pain. She was subsequently diagnosed with spinal sarcoidosis, based on MRI, PET scan, and biopsy results. Furthermore, treatment with prednisolone monotherapy demonstrated substantial improvement in her symptoms.PMID:38567561 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v41i1.14813 (Source: Sarcoidosis Vasculitis and Diffuse Lung Diseases)

Dapagliflozin-induced drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Followed By Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN): A Case Report
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 2. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3347-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 78-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with acute renal failure and generalized erythema after starting dapagliflozin 10 mg/day for chronic kidney disease (CKD). A skin biopsy revealed superficial perivascular dermatitis with eosinophils. A renal biopsy revealed lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltration of the interstitium, and focal tubulitis. The patient was diagnosed with a dapagliflozin-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), followed by acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), and prednisolon...
