Article Synopsis
- Cerate nanoceramics are gaining attention for their potential in improving heat management and solar reflectance.
- This study uses advanced calculations to show that LaCeO and AlCeO materials have excellent temperature stability, UV-vis/near-infrared reflectance, and customizable mid-infrared emissivity.
- It also explores how defects and aluminum impurities in the materials can create unique environments for better infrared emission, which is useful for passive cooling technologies.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore gender differences in the phenotypical expression of Behçet's disease (BD) using data from the International AIDA Network Registry, focusing on damage index, disease manifestations, and cardiovascular risk.
- A total of 1024 patients (567 males and 457 females) were examined, revealing that males had a significantly higher overall damage index and more frequent occurrences of uveitis and vascular involvement, while females showed higher instances of arthralgia, arthritis, and CNS involvement.
- Key factors associated with major organ involvement included male gender, treatment with biologic agents, origin from endemic regions, and longer disease duration, indicating a more severe course of BD in males compared to females.
Objective: To evaluate the cardiac involvement in patients with Still's disease with a focus on myocarditis included in the multicenter AIDA (AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance) network Still's disease registry. To exploit the predictive factors for myocarditis in deriving a clinical risk patient profile for this severe manifestation.
Methods: A multicenter observational study was built up assessing consecutive patients with Still's disease characterized by the cardiac involvement among those included in the AIDA Network Still's Disease Registry.
Article Synopsis
- - The survey, developed by the International Uveitis Study Group, aimed to assess how uveitis and retina specialists use current terminology and multimodal imaging (MMI) for diagnosing white dot syndromes (WDS).
- - Out of 432 initial respondents, 263 completed the survey, revealing that most participants specialize in uveitis and utilize MMI, with nearly 90% using it for WDS diagnosis but showing varied usage of the term WDS.
- - The findings suggest a strong consensus among specialists for redefining WDS based on anatomical location rather than the current clinical term, emphasizing MMI's role in enhancing diagnostic precision.
Introduction: Evidence from randomised controlled trials on anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents in patients with Behçet's syndrome (BS) is low.
Method: We conducted a phase 3, multicentre, prospective, randomised, active-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of either infliximab (IFX) or adalimumab (ADA) in patients with BS. Adults patients with BS presenting with active mucocutaneous manifestations, occurring while on therapy with either azathioprine or cyclosporine for at least 3 months prior to study entry, were eligible.
