Ursodeoxycholic acid for the treatment of hepatic sarcoid: A pre-post pilot study.
Clin Exp Hepatol
September 2024
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, USA.
Aim Of The Study: Sarcoidosis is characterized by noncaseating granulomas that can affect multiple organs. Due to the lack of prospective studies regarding treatment of hepatic sarcoidosis with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), we set out to evaluate its effects in a single-center, open-label, prospective, pre-post study.
Material And Methods: A total of 10 patients were screened from August 2018 to July 2020; seven met the criteria and were enrolled.
Survival of HIV associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma in China.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Infectious Diseases, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, 169 Donghu Road, Wuhan, 430071, China.
Article Synopsis
- Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved the treatment outcomes for patients with HIV-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma, specifically Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, based on a study of 127 patients treated over 17 years.
- The study found that DA-EPOCH ± R was the most common therapy for HIV-BL, while CHOP± R was used for HIV-DLBCL, with complete response rates of 36% and 44%, respectively.
- Despite these advancements, challenges remain in treating HIV-related lymphomas in China due to low rates of pre-diagnosis ART, high patient morbidity, and late-stage diagnoses.
Dacryoadenitis as a Rare Initial Presentation in a Patient with Suspected Crest Syndrome.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Sawai Man Singh Medical College, Jaipur, India.
Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare disease that can affect different parts of the body, and this case is about a 51-year-old woman who had swelling in her eyelid.
- Doctors found she had an enlarged lacrimal gland and inflammatory symptoms that didn’t get better with regular treatments, which led them to explore further possible conditions.
- This case is important because it shows that SSc, specifically CREST syndrome, can have unusual symptoms like swelling in the eyes, and doctors need to think about different diagnoses when they see such signs.

Department of Rheumatology, Te Toka Tumai Auckland, Health New Zealand.
Purpose Of Review: Dysphagia is a complication of several autoimmune rheumatic diseases and otorhinolaryngologists are likely to be involved in the assessment and management of patients with such conditions. This review provides an update on rheumatic diseases that may cause swallowing impairment, with particular focus on the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of dysphagia in these conditions.
Recent Findings: Dysphagia is a common complication of the following rheumatic diseases: idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Cancer Incidence Rates in the US in 2016-2020 with Respect to Solar UVB Doses, Diabetes and Obesity Prevalence, Lung Cancer Incidence Rates, and Alcohol Consumption: An Ecological Study.
Nutrients
May 2024
Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center, 1745 Pacific Ave., Suite 504, San Francisco, CA 94109, USA.
This article reports the results of an ecological study of cancer incidence rates by state in the US for the period 2016-2020. The goals of this study were to determine the extent to which solar UVB doses reduced cancer risk compared to findings reported in 2006 for cancer mortality rates for the periods 1950-1969 and 1970-1794 as well as cancer incidence rates for the period 1998-2002 and to determine which factors were recently associated with cancer risk. The cancer data for non-Hispanic white (European American) men and women were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
