Published: April 2020

Background: Autoimmune diseases result from the interplay of cellular effectors like T and B cells, regulatory cells in addition to molecular factors like cytokines and regulatory molecules.

Methods: Different electronic databases were searched in a non-systematic way to find out the literature of interest.

Results: Pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases involves typical factors such as genetic background including HLA and non HLA system genes, environmental factors such as infectious agents and inflammatory cells mainly T and B lymphocytes abnormally activated leading to immune dysfunction. Other recently reported less typical factors such as micro-RNAs, circular RNAs, myeloperoxidase, vimentine and microbiome dysbiosis seem to be potential target therapies.

Conclusion: We aimed in this manuscript to review common factors in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

Background: Although agricultural health has gained importance, to date, much of the existing research relies on traditional epidemiological approaches that often face limitations related to sample size, geographic scope, temporal coverage, and the range of health events examined. To address these challenges, a complementary approach involves leveraging and reusing data beyond its original purpose. Administrative health databases (AHDs) are increasingly reused in population-based research and digital public health, especially for populations such as farmers, who face distinct environmental risks.

Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience difficulties in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between speech discrimination in noise (SDN) and medial olivocochlear reflex levels and to compare MS patients with a control group.

Material And Methods: Sixty participants with normal hearing, comprising 30 MS patients and 30 healthy controls, were included.

Inpatient consultative dermatologists play a critical role in the care of hospitalized patients with skin disease. Our review of the 2023-2024 dermatology literature identified several areas of active investigation relevant to inpatient dermatology. In this article, we highlight advances in the understanding of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions, diagnosis and prevention of skin and soft tissue infections, and management of autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs).

Autoimmune Tubulopathies.

J Am Soc Nephrol

The renal tubule and collecting duct express a large number of proteins, all having putative immunoreactive motives. Therefore, all can be the target of pathogenic autoantibodies. However, autoimmune tubulopathies seem to be rare and we hypothesize that they are underdiagnosed.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune joint disease. Its main pathological manifestations are joint cartilage, bone tissue injury, synovial hyperplasia, and chronic inflammation. At present, the pathogenesis of the disease has not been fully defined, and delaying the disease to improve joint function is the existing treatment.
