Article Synopsis
- Many biological drug patents have expired, leading to the development of biosimilar agents (BIOs), but their use in children raises concerns, prompting a study on their efficacy and safety for treating pediatric non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
- Data collected from pediatric patients treated with TNF inhibitors BIOs showed a significant decrease in flare-ups and ocular complications, as well as a reduction in the need for glucocorticoids during treatment.
- The study included 47 patients, demonstrating strong treatment retention rates and maintaining visual acuity throughout the therapy, while only recording a few minor adverse events.
Purpose: To assess fertility concerns and to describe pregnancy outcomes in patients with anorectal malformations (ARM).
Methods: This is an IRB approved, cross-sectional study of patients in the Adult Colorectal Research Registry who completed reproductive health surveys between November 2021 and August 2022. Patients assigned female at birth with age 18 or older and ARM were included.
Background/objectives: Long-term efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) in adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) mostly derive from small case series. Herein we report a registry-based study investigating TCZ efficacy and safety in a cohort of patients with AOSD evaluated by clinical and serum inflammatory markers as well as drug retention rate analysis.
Methods: This is an international multicentre study analyzing data from patients with AOSD regularly enrolled in the AIDA registry.
Vaginoplasty with colon is a common technique for vaginal replacement in patients with cloaca. Malignancy in the neovagina is a rare outcome and typically presents decades after reconstruction. We present a case of an adolescent female with history of cloaca, ulcerative colitis, and high-grade dysplasia of the sigmoid neovagina.
