Objectives: To perform a budget impact analysis (BIA) of the adoption of baricitinib for the management of alopecia areata (AA) by a Saudi public sector payer.
Methods: A BIA model was developed to calculate the expected financial impact under two scenarios: the baseline scenario, which reflects the current mix of treatments without baricitinib, and the projected scenario, in which baricitinib is adopted. The model assumed that patients with severe AA and those with mild-to-moderate AA who did not respond to other treatments were eligible for baricitinib treatment.

- - The renal lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining kidney health and managing the immune response within the kidney, especially during pathological conditions.
- - Kidney lymphangiogenesis, the formation of new lymphatic vessels, impacts immune response by affecting lymphatic flow and immune cell movement, but its effects can vary across different kidney diseases.
- - Ongoing research aims to clarify the complex and contradictory roles of lymphangiogenesis in renal disorders, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies targeting lymphatics for kidney disease treatment.
Background: The relationship between venous thromboembolism and both insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome is still a matter of debate. The objective of this work was to investigate the possible association between cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and both insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. We aimed also to assess micro-RNA-122 serum levels in patients with CVST in comparison to controls.
