Purpose: This study investigates the capabilities of ultrasonography (US) in determing the stage of orbital inflammation in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
Material And Methods: The study included 24 patients (8 men and 16 women) with diffuse orbital tissue involvement in GPA. Group 1 (active stage) included nine patients, while group 2 (inactive stage) consisted of 18 patients.
In recent years, 3D printing has emerged as a promising technology in energy storage, particularly for the fabrication of Li-ion battery electrodes. This innovative manufacturing method offers significant material composition and electrode structure flexibility, enabling more complex and efficient designs. While traditional Li-ion battery fabrication methods are well-established, 3D printing opens up new possibilities for enhancing battery performance by allowing for tailored geometries, efficient material usage, and integrating multifunctional components.

- The study aims to investigate the relationship between clinical and morphological features of kidney issues in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- A total of 62 patients with lupus nephritis (LN) were examined, revealing that most were female and had a median age of SLE onset around 23 years; various extrarenal symptoms were noted alongside kidney involvement.
- The findings showed significant variation in LN presentations, emphasizing the necessity of kidney biopsies for accurate classification, as similar symptoms like proteinuria were observed across different LN classes.
Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations and survival of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Materials And Methods: . A retrospective study included 166 patients with newly diagnosed GCA.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the IL-5 receptor inhibitor benralizumab for treating patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) across 28 European centers.
- Out of 121 patients treated, complete responses increased from 12.4% at 3 months to 46.4% at 12 months, while partial responses decreased over the same period.
- Notable improvements were seen in disease activity, as measured by the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS), and a reduction in various disease manifestations, alongside better lung function.
