Breastfeeding initiation, duration, and reasons for weaning in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
AbstractTo assess breastfeeding in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a cross-sectional study of patients with SLE compared to a non-SLE sample was performed. Patients who had pregnancies subsequent to their diagnosis of SLE and who were followed up in the hospital were interviewed. The group of non-SLE mothers consisted of patients who had no known rheumatic disease at the time of their pregnancy, and who were approached at the hospital paediatrics service waiting room. Thirty-six pregnancies in 31 patients with SLE and the same number of non-SLE mothers were studied. The number of SLE patients who did no...

Pharmacological Approach to Managing Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus During Conception, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding.
Abstract Pediatric patients often have poor pregnancy outcomes. Systemic lupus erythematosus predominantly impacts women in their second to fourth decade of life, with childhood-onset disease being particularly aggressive. Reproductive issues are an important clinical consideration for pediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as maintaining good disease control and planning a pregnancy are important for maternal and fetal outcomes. In this clinical review, we will consider the safety of medications in managing childhood-onset SLE during conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The developing fe...

Use of medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Authors: Laube R, Paramsothy S, Leong RW Abstract INTRODUCTION: : The peak age of diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurs during childbearing years, therefore management of IBD during pregnancy is a frequent occurrence. Maintenance of disease remission is crucial to optimise pregnancy outcomes, and potential maternal or foetal toxicity from medications must be balanced against the risks of untreated IBD. AREAS COVERED: : This review summarizes the literature on safety and use of medications for IBD during pregnancy and lactation. EXPERT OPINION: : 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and thiopur...

Health economic analyses of psoriasis management: a systematic literature search
The objective was to identify health economic evaluations of psoriasis treatments that have been published to date. Of particular interest were the mostly used analysis and outcome parameters, the compared treatments, and the question, if available health economic studies may be used to perform a meta-analysis of qualitative findings. A systematic literature search using PubMed Medline, Ovid Medline, and Cochrane Library was performed for articles, published and available until mid of January 2016. Among the key words were the terms “psoriasis” and “cost-effectiveness”. The search resulted in 318 articles without d...

Analysis of patient-reported symptoms with respect to TCS usage: A self-identified cohort of patients with RSS/TSA/TSW
Background: Topical corticosteroids (TCS) have been the mainstay of treatment for inflammatory dermatoses and are felt to be safe when used appropriately. In response to increased reports about red skin syndrome (RSS) and topical steroid addiction/withdrawal (TSA/TSW), a systematic review (2015) conducted by the National Eczema Association concluded that RSS/TSA/TSW is a potential adverse effect of prolonged use of topical steroids. The phenomenon of RSS/TSA/TSW has been deemed rare. There is no validated definition, no patient registry, and no evidence-based treatment.

New-onset lupus nephritis after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery.
We report an original case of a 27-year-old transgender woman who developed lupus nephritis after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. The patient had been taking hormones to induce feminization since the age of 18. She was admitted with malar "butterfly" rash, anasarca and hypertension, associated with an increase in serum creatinine (1.7 mg/dl). Renal involvement was characterized by nephritic and nephrotic syndrome. Autoantibody tests were positive for antinuclear antibodies and anti-double-stranded DNA, and complement levels were markedly reduced. Renal biopsy demonstrated diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis...

Repeat doses of prenatal corticosteroids for women at risk of preterm birth for improving neonatal health outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: The short-term benefits for babies included less respiratory distress and fewer serious health problems in the first few weeks after birth with repeat dose(s) of prenatal corticosteroids for women still at risk of preterm birth seven days or more after an initial course. The current available evidence reassuringly shows no significant harm for the women or child in early and mid-childhood, although no benefit. Further research is needed on the long-term benefits and risks for the baby into adulthood.PMID:35377461 | PMC:PMC8978608 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD003935.pub5

Myasthaenia gravis in pregnancy, delivery and newborn.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the myasthenic women could have uneventful pregnancy with good obstetrical outcomes, both for mother and neonate. However, a careful planning of pregnancy and multidisciplinary team approach, composed by neurologists, obstetricians, neonatologists and anesthesiologists, is required to manage these pregnancies.
