Article Synopsis
- Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common condition in individuals over 50 that can lead to serious issues like vision loss if not diagnosed quickly.
- This study assesses the effectiveness of using color Doppler ultrasound as the first step for diagnosing GCA, followed by temporal artery biopsy for those who test negative on the ultrasound.
- The findings showed that ultrasound confirmed GCA in 44% of cases, compared to 17% for biopsy and 21% for other methods, but the study had limitations like a small sample size and no objective gold-standard for comparison.
Non-target analyses were conducted to characterize and compare the molecular profiles (UHPLC-HRMS fingerprint) of water samples from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Inlet and outlet samples were collected from three campaigns spaced 6 months apart in order to highlight common trends. A significant impact of the treatment on the sample fingerprints was shown, with a 65-70% abatement of the number of features detected in the effluent, and more polar, smaller and less intense molecules found overall compared to those in WWTP influent waters.

Methods: A French national registry (MISSIL) aimed to report all cases of new IBD in patients treated with IL-17i from January 2016 to December 2019. Using the estimated number of patients treated by IL-17 in France during the study period, the annual incidence rates of new IBD was reported in IL-17i-treated patients.
The UV/chlorine process as a potential tertiary municipal wastewater treatment alternative for removing refractory PPCPs has been widely investigated. However, the role of effluent organic matter (EfOM) on the radical chemistry and toxicity alteration is unclear. The elimination of two model PPCPs, primidone (PRM) and caffeine (CAF), by the co-exposure of UV and free chlorine was investigated to elucidate the impact of EfOM.
