Real-world effectiveness of mepolizumab in patients with asthma and comorbid nasal polyps.

Article Synopsis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to an increased risk of developing migraines, as both conditions share inflammatory pathways and psychological issues.
- In a study using a large cohort, HS patients were found to have a significantly higher hazard ratio (HR) for experiencing migraines compared to non-HS controls, with the risk being consistent across different age and gender groups.
- The findings suggest that medical professionals should be mindful of the connection between HS and migraines, prompting timely interventions for HS patients experiencing migraine symptoms.
Infant urinary adrenal steroids and childhood asthma development.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated whether vitamin D supplementation effectively treats chronic low back pain (CLBP), an issue that diminishes quality of life and increases healthcare reliance.
- - Analyzing ten randomized controlled trials, the meta-analysis found no significant reduction in pain scores among those taking vitamin D compared to control groups, indicating that supplementation is not effective for CLBP relief.
- - Although vitamin D supplementation did not demonstrate substantial benefits for CLBP, the authors suggest it could still be included in diverse treatment strategies, urging further research on its long-term effects and mechanisms.
Introduction: While an association between hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and inflammatory arthritis has been reported in clinical studies, the potential link between HS and gout remains uncertain. As HS and gout share common immunological pathways, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine whether HS patients are at an increased risk of developing gout in the future.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study obtained information through the US collaborative network, a subset of the TriNetX research network.
Evaluating the Role of Vitamin D in Alleviating Chronic Pruritus: A Meta-Analysis.
Int J Mol Sci
September 2024
Chronic pruritus is a distressing condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Recent research has increasingly focused on the potential role of vitamin D, given its immunomodulatory properties, in managing this condition. This meta-analysis seeks to systematically assess the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in alleviating chronic pruritus across diverse clinical contexts.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTotal knee replacement (TKR) is a common surgical procedure for osteoarthritis (OA) patients. TKR may increase susceptibility to herpes zoster (HZ) by inducing immunosuppression, surgical stress, and nerve injury. However, limited data exist on the relationship between TKR and HZ.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOcular comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has been widely evaluated; however real-world evidence was scarce. Moreover, risk of glaucoma in HS patients remained unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the 5-year glaucoma risk in HS patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground/aim: Thyroid diseases are prevalent endocrine disorders that significantly affect overall health. Although the impact of pre-existing thyroid dysfunction on total knee replacement (TKR) outcomes has been studied, the potential for TKR to increase the risk of developing thyroid disorders remains unexplored.
Patients And Methods: We examined electronic medical records from a large U.
Recent research has underscored the efficacy of in managing obesity among healthy adults. This meta-analysis reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from major databases up to May 2024, focusing on the effects of on body weight, body mass index (BMI), and metabolic parameters. This study has been registered in PROSPERO (number: CRD 42024531611).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground/aim: The risk of new-onset fibromyalgia after total knee replacement (TKR) in osteoarthritis patients is not well-established. This study aimed to assess the risk of developing fibromyalgia post-TKR, considering potential variations across age and sex.
Patients And Methods: Utilizing a multicenter retrospective cohort design and data from the TriNetX research network, electronic health records of osteoarthritis patients who underwent TKR and the same number of matched controls were analyzed.
Background: Previous research has indicated a potential correlation between hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and psoriasis (PSO), two chronic inflammatory dermatological diseases. However, there is a lack of comprehensive evaluations that consider a variety of clinical and demographic factors, and the risk of developing HS in PSO patients remains unclear. Our study aims to examine HS risk over time among PSO patients versus matched controls while considering the influence of confounders to provide insights into the potential link between these two diseases.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground/aim: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to immune dysregulation and systemic inflammation. While previous studies indicate a higher prevalence of ocular manifestations in HS, the specific risk of keratopathy and keratitis remains unclear. The primary aim of this study was to assess the risk of keratitis and keratopathy in individuals with HS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground/aim: Aiming to resolve debates on honey's efficacy for radiotherapy-induced severe oral mucositis in head and neck cancer, we conducted a meta-analysis focused on randomized trials, primarily assessing severe mucositis incidence. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, pain management, and honey types.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, WOS, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2023.
