Short-Term Outcomes and Predictors of Effectiveness of Tocilizumab in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) is a unique category of juvenile arthritis in which interleukin 6 plays a major pathogenic role. This study aimed to describe the therapeutic short-term outcomes among patients with sJIA starting tocilizumab (TCZ) therapy and to identify possible predictors of treatment response. We conducted a prospective observational study including 65 patients with sJIA meeting ILAR classification criteria with active disease despite conventional therapy that were treated by TCZ between August 2019 and October 2020 as the first-line biological therapy.

Combined therapy of plantar warts with topical bleomycin and microneedling: a comparative controlled study‏.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of combination between microneedling with dermapen and topical bleomycin in the treatment of plantar warts in comparison with intralesional bleomycin and intralesional saline (placebo). Fifty-four patients were assigned into three groups, each containing 18 patients. The first group treated by micro-needling phenotype with topical bleomycin at 2 weeks interval, the second group received intralesional bleomycin at 3 weeks interval and the control group was intralesional saline for a maximum of four weeks.
