Article Synopsis
- * Among 540 children studied, Black children were found to have significantly lower chances of reaching LLDAS and higher disease activity compared to their White counterparts, with 41% of Black children living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods.
- * The findings suggest that addressing underlying issues related to race and neighborhood socioeconomic status is critical for improving treatment outcomes and reducing health disparities in cSLE.
Background: After introducing IL-1/IL-6 inhibitors, some patients with Still and Still-like disease developed unusual, often fatal, pulmonary disease. This complication was associated with scoring as DReSS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) implicating these inhibitors, although DReSS can be difficult to recognize in the setting of systemic inflammatory disease.
Objective: To facilitate recognition of IL-1/IL-6 inhibitor-DReSS in systemic inflammatory illnesses (Still/Still-like) by looking at timing and reaction-associated features.
Immunomodulation enhances parasite fitness by reducing inflammation-induced morbidity in the mammalian host, as well as by attenuating parasite-targeting immune responses. Using a whole-proteome differential screening method, we identified Schistosoma japonicum helminth defense molecule 1 (SjHDM-1) as a target of antibodies expressed by S. japonicum-resistant but not S.

Children, mostly school-aged, are more at risk of these infections. The main strategy for control remains to be the mass drug administration (MDA) of antihelminthic drugs.

This study aimed to validate the diagnostic performance of a recently developed gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) for the detection of infection in a rural endemic area of the Philippines.
Methods: Human clinical samples were collected from 412 subjects living in Laoang and Palapag municipalities, Northern Samar, the Philippines.
