Article Synopsis
- Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a rare disease that can cause serious attacks and long-lasting symptoms, significantly affecting patients' daily lives and health-related quality of life, particularly in those with frequent attacks.
- This study focused on patients with sporadic AHP attacks, aiming to understand their symptoms during attack-free periods, how often they occur, and their overall impact on life.
- Interviews with 14 participants revealed common chronic symptoms like fatigue and pain, along with challenges in daily activities and mental health issues, highlighting the ongoing burden of the disease, even when not experiencing acute attacks.
Significance: Presbyopia typically occurs around 40 years of age and affects approximately one-quarter of the global population. Up to October 2021, there were no approved pharmacotherapies for presbyopia, and common treatments, such as glasses, can have disadvantages for individuals' health-related quality of life.
Purpose: This study aimed to document the experience of living with and managing presbyopia, identify perspectives on treatment options, and determine whether there is an unmet need in the treatment landscape.
Kabuki syndrome is a genetic disorder that can affect multiple body systems and manifest as congenital abnormalities and both developmental and socio-emotional delays. The condition is largely unknown by most primary care physicians and has no available treatment other than symptomatic management. This research sought to obtain caregiver-reported data about the experience of living with and caring for someone with Kabuki syndrome to fill a gap in the available literature.
