Article Synopsis
- Recent findings indicate that metabolic abnormalities significantly influence how obesity affects the prognosis of coronary heart disease, particularly through its impact on carotid intima media thickness (IMT-CC).
- A study involving 1002 participants revealed that those with multiple metabolic issues (metabolically sick) had a higher IMT-CC compared to those who were metabolically healthy, regardless of their weight category.
- The study concludes that having obesity can negate some of the protective effects on IMT-CC seen in metabolically healthy individuals, suggesting that obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular events even in the absence of other metabolic abnormalities.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune condition with unpredictable course, intermingled with flares and periods of remission. Although the prognosis of the disease has improved in the past decades, current therapies are still associated with treatment-related complications. Recently, there has been major progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis of SLE, paving the way for the development of new biological agents, potentially revolutionizing the treatment of SLE.
