Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy which can present with distinctive skin features. Despite the many treatment modalities for the treatment of dermatomyositis some patients remain refractory to treatment. We present a case of a 38-year-old man with recalcitrant dermatomyositis who was successfully treated with the interferon α receptor 1-inhibiting monoclonal antibody anifrolumab.

Background And Purpose: Symptoms indistinguishable from behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can develop in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated with severe brain sagging. An underlying spinal CSF leak can be identified in only a minority of these patients and the success rate of nondirected treatments, such as epidural blood patching and dural reduction surgery, is low. The disability associated with bvFTD sagging brain syndrome is high and, because of the importance of the venous system in the pathophysiology of CSF leaks in general, we have investigated the systemic venous circulation in those patients with recalcitrant symptoms.

is an understudied, gram-negative, aerobic bacterium that is widespread in the environment and increasingly a cause of opportunistic infections. Treating remains difficult, leading to an increase in disease severity and higher hospitalization rates in people with cystic fibrosis, cancer, and other immunocompromised health conditions. The lack of effective antibiotics has led to renewed interest in phage therapy; however, there remains a great need for well-characterized phages, especially against .

However, little is known about the implications of dupilumab for cancer outcomes in this population. In this multi-institutional study, we evaluate the impact of dupilumab treatment on survival among ICI recipients.
