Ophthalmological and Neurological Findings in Patients with Idiopathic Uveitis Associated with Retinal Vasculitis and the Relation with the HLA DR15 Allele
CONCLUSION: Although the majority of tested patients was carrying at least one HLA DRB1-15 allele, there was no difference in ophthalmological and neurological findings in both groups.PMID:38648262 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2024.2316759 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)

An underrecognized association: immune checkpoint inhibitor-related aortitis, a case report with the review of the literature
AbstractImmune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are considered as the novel treatment modality in certain cancers. They may soon be used widely even as the first-line option for cancer treatment due to their remarkable efficacies and impacts on survival rates, particularly in cases of advanced metastatic cancer. Of note, these agents might unveil new autoimmune diseases as well as causing flare-ups of a pre-existing autoimmune disease. Data in this field have been accumulated during recent years. Early detection and a collaborative approach are, therefore, crucial in the management of a patient who presents with any of these c...

Institution of cardiopulmonary bypass in an awake patient for resection of isolated intrathoracic right subclavian artery aneurysm causing near total compression of the trachea
AbstractThe subclavian artery ’s intrathoracic segment is a rare peripheral artery aneurysm site. Common causes are atherosclerosis, trauma, vasculitis, and infection. Subclavian artery aneurysms have a higher propensity for rupture, thrombosis, embolization, and compression of surrounding structures, thus necessitating urgent surgical care. Herein, we describe a case of isolated intrathoracic right subclavian artery aneurysm presenting with orthopnea and hoarseness due to near total tracheal compression and recurrent laryngeal nerve compression. We also describe in detail the necessary preparation for and use of pre-ane...

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)
