The role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography in the diagnosis and monitoring of large vessel vasculitides - a review article
Am J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2023 Aug 15;13(4):127-135. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn the last two decades, advancements in positron emission tomography (PET) technology have increased the diagnostic accuracy of patients with large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). Numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been conducted, and patients suspected of having LVV can be diagnosed earlier with 18F-FDG PET. Two subtypes, giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TA), will progress when their response to corticosteroids and enhanced immunosuppression is inadequate. In the majority of patients, disease activity cannot be monit...

Favorable course of leptospirosis and hantavirus-induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis under corticosteroid treatment
ConclusionsLeptospirosis and hantavirus associated ATIN share common clinical and biochemical features. Due to the low incidence in Europe these infectious causes of kidney dysfunction may be overlooked. Glucocorticoids may be considered in the management of ATIN.

Mucormycosis: update on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment
Curr Opin Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1097/QCO.0000000000000976. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Mucormycosis (MCR) is a common opportunistic mold infection, and Mucorales were recently designated by WHO as priority pathogens. The interest in this infection has risen significantly since the major outbreak of MCR in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in India. Herein, we summarize recently (last 24 months) published information regarding clinical aspects of MCR.RECENT FINDINGS: The disease remains protean in its clinical presentation, difficult to diagnose, and challenging to treat. In ...

Omalizumab for Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe allergic asthma in real-world clinical setting: a prospective, observational study
CONCLUSIONS: In real-world clinical practice, omalizumab treatment remarkably reduced exacerbations in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe asthma. Omalizumab reduced the use of oral corticosteroids and improved asthma control and pulmonary function.PMID:37734750 | DOI:10.1136/bmjresp-2022-001549

Factors associated with sarcopenia in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis: results from the IORRA cohort study
Clin Rheumatol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s10067-023-06779-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with sarcopenia in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We analyzed a cross-section of patients with RA participating in the Institute of Rheumatology Rheumatoid Arthritis cohort survey in 2021. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires, including a 5-item sarcopenia screening index (SARC-F). Patients with a SARC-F score of 4 or higher were categorized as having sarcopenia. Among 2416 Japanese patients with RA (2113 women and 303 men; mean age 63.9 ye...

A Case of Pyoderma Gangrenosum after Partial Small Bowel Resection
This report presents the case of a 55-year-old man who underwent partial small bowel resection for incomplete intestinal obstruction and developed postoperative infection-like manifestations, including redness and swelling of the incision, severe pain, and yellow-green turbid fluid from the drainage tube. After completing a skin biopsy that suggested massive neutrophil infiltration, multiple secretion cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (+), and systemic screening without other comorbidities, a diagnosis of postoperative PG and P aeruginosa infection was determined.Early detection of this complication is essential for pati...

Diagnosis and Treatment of IgA Nephropathy-2023
Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2023 Aug;135(Suppl 5):621-627. doi: 10.1007/s00508-023-02257-6. Epub 2023 Sep 20.ABSTRACTImmunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis. It leads to end-stage kidney disease in about a third of the patients within 10 to 20 years. The pathogenesis of IgAN is incompletely understood. It is believed that a dysregulation of the mucosal immune system leads to undergalactosylation of IgA, followed by formation of IgG autoantibodies against undergalactosylated IgA, circulation of these IgG-IgA immune complexes, deposition of the immune complexes in the mesangium, ultimately resulti...
