Article Synopsis
- The introduction of biological treatments has significantly improved the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, with established efficacy from clinical trials, but optimal monitoring intervals during treatment remain unclear.
- This study aimed to analyze laboratory data from patients on biological therapy to assess the necessity for lab investigations and to identify any adverse events.
- Results indicated that most significant laboratory abnormalities occurred at baseline and during specific follow-up intervals, with infliximab users showing the highest rate of abnormalities, while dermatology patients had fewer issues compared to gastroenterology and rheumatology patients.
Purpose: Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is thought to have a chronic persistent course. This study aimed to assess the natural course of cataplexy in patients with NT1 at 2, 6, and 10 years after stabilizing symptoms. Other secondary objectives included assessing sleep quality, body mass index (BMI), and comorbidities at recruitment and 10 years later.

We aimed to study the ability of community-based gastroenterologists to differentiate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions using IEE modalities and to identify predictors of correct classification and the confidence of the optical diagnosis made.
Materials And Methods:: An electronic survey was sent to practicing gastroenterologists using electronic tablets during a gastroenterology meeting.
