Analysis of risk factors associated with diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis and construction of a risk prediction model using line graph
CONCLUSIONS: The new nomogram, which included age, Hb, ESR, PLT and haematuria as variables, had the potential to predict the risk of AAV patients complicated with DAH.PMID:38634373 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/7m21vr (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Vasculitis and infectious risk in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A case report
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Mar 27;27(5):234. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12522. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTThe connection between vasculitis and infection is complex. The present study described a typical situation for a patient with unbalanced type 2 diabetes and chronic complications, in which a lack of adherence to the protection and care measures ultimately led to the appearance of some of the worst consequences of the condition, namely, ulceration, gangrene and amputation. In the context of an unstable condition with significant metabolic imbalance there was an impaired response to infections in the present patient, and the amput...

Prognostic value of 18 FDG-PET at diagnosis and follow-up in giant cell arteritis: An observational restrospective study
CONCLUSION: PET vascular activity scores at diagnosis and at follow-up PET/CT performed outside a period of GCA activity do not display high performance to predict the occurrence of subsequent relapse in LV-GCA patients.PMID:38627183 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.037 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-Up of Giant-Cell Arteritis: A Retrospective Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study observed high dropout rates and short follow-ups. Adverse effects of prednisolone were common, and relapses occurred in approximately one-tenth of Korean patients with GCA. Thus, optimizing GCA treatment necessitates regular monitoring and long-term follow-up.PMID:38627226 | DOI:10.3988/jcn.2023.0169 (Source: Journal of Clinical Neurology)

To ASLO or Not to ASLO: Utility of the ASLO Test in Dermatology
CONCLUSIONS: Although the applicability of ASLO for the spectrum of dermatological diseases remains unclear, our results enhance the practical relevance of the test. We showed a higher prevalence of positive ASLO tests in psoriasis and erythema nodosum cases and a lower prevalence in vasculitis. Notably, ASLO was positive in all psoriasis subtypes, suggesting high utility of the test for psoriasis.PMID:38616666 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

Ocular manifestations of liver disease: an important diagnostic aid
ConclusionsBuilding strong associations between ocular and liver pathology will allow for early detection of such conditions, leading to the early implementation of management strategies. While this review outlines several of the existing connections between hepatic and ophthalmic disease, further research is needed in the area in order to strengthen these associations.
