The systemic use of corticosteroids for patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) remains controversial in clinical practice, particularly in terms of the safety profile of these drugs. This narrative review aims to analyse the available literature data concerning the safety of short-term steroid use in the treatment of sCAP, while also highlighting potential future research directions. Several trials and meta-analyses have evaluated corticosteroid therapy as an adjuvant treatment for sCAP, yielding heterogeneous results regarding its efficacy and safety.

Ethnocultural differences between Jewish and Arab communities in Northern Israel may contribute to disparities in type 2 diabetes prevalence. Widespread screening strategies, including hospital-based initiatives, are crucial for early detection of hyperglycemia. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of postprandial hyperglycemia and identify its associated factors in a diverse population of non-diabetic adults visiting the Galilee Medical Center, a tertiary care hospital in Northern Israel.

Ocular Manifestations of IBD: Pathophysiology, Epidemiology, and Iatrogenic Associations of Emerging Treatment Strategies.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex, multisystemic disease and is associated with ocular pathology in 4-12% of patients. In general, ocular disease affects Crohn's patients more frequently than those with ulcerative colitis. Episcleritis and uveitis are the most common presentations, with episcleritis often correlating with IBD flares, whereas uveitis presents independently of IBD activity and, in some cases, may even alert clinicians to a new diagnosis of IBD.

Relationship between bullous pemphigoid and metabolic syndrome and its relevant traits: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Department of Dermatology, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases, No.1 Shuai Fu Yuan Street, Dong Cheng District, Beijing, 100730, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease primarily affecting older adults, while metabolic syndrome (MetS) encompasses various metabolic disorders.
  • Previous observational studies have suggested a link between BP and MetS, but the results are inconsistent due to potential biases from confounding factors like corticosteroid use or age.
  • This study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the causal relationship between BP and MetS, using genetic data, and found no significant causal association between the two or their related traits.
