Initially, the patient was diagnosed with AS, for which he received various specific treatments, including TNF-α inhibitors. After five years of treatment with TNF-α inhibitor etanercept, the patient was referred for a full neurological assessment after he reported balance disturbances, postural instability, muscle weakness, and other neurological symptoms that indicated the presence of a neurological disorder.

- Over the past 20 years, TNF-α inhibitors have revolutionized treatment for several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, initially starting with rheumatoid arthritis.
- Despite their effectiveness, these inhibitors can lead to neurological side effects, posing new clinical challenges.
- The review evaluates data on the link between TNF-α inhibitors and neurological issues, emphasizes careful patient selection, especially for those with past demyelinating diseases, and advocates for further research to enhance treatment safety and efficacy.
Article Synopsis
- * The developed foam (PUF/AgNPs) shows strong antimicrobial properties against various bacteria and fungi while remaining non-toxic to human skin cells, making it safe for biomedical use.
- * With impressive durability, enhanced material strength, and potential applications in healthcare settings (like mattresses), this innovation aims to improve patient safety and reduce hospital-acquired infections.
Background: Targeting gut dysbiosis to treat chronic diseases or to alleviate the symptoms is a new direction for medical adjuvant therapies. Recently, postbiotics have received considerable attention as they are non-viable probiotic preparations that confer various health benefits to the host without the safety problems associated with using live microbial cells.
Objective: The aim of the study is to obtain selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) enriched postbiotic biomass and to analyze its modulation effect because these minerals play an important role in reducing gut dysbiosis linked to cardiovascular (CV) diseases.
