Background: Juvenile Idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. It still remains a challenge to treat refractory poly-articular course JIA patients, especially in Bangladesh, where patients from low socio-economic backgrounds are unable to manage biological agents. Tofacitinib is one of the alternative options to biological agents, which can be taken orally and is cost effective.

Decoding NAD+ Metabolism in COVID-19: Implications for Immune Modulation and Therapy.

Vaccines (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Respiratory, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Xiang'an Hospital of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361101, China.

The persistent threat of COVID-19, particularly with the emergence of new variants, underscores the urgency for innovative therapeutic strategies beyond conventional antiviral treatments. Current immunotherapies, including IL-6/IL-6R monoclonal antibodies and JAK inhibitors, exhibit suboptimal efficacy, necessitating alternative approaches. Our review delves into the significance of NAD+ metabolism in COVID-19 pathology, marked by decreased NAD+ levels and upregulated NAD+-consuming enzymes such as CD38 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs).

. Telecontrol approaches for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management aim to enhance patient outcomes. This pilot study assessed whether the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) approach could be used during teleconsultations to monitor RA disease activity through a web-based platform called iARPlus (Innovative Approach in Rheumatology).

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation leading to joint damage and systemic complications. Angiogenesis promotes inflammation and contributes to RA progression. This study evaluated potential anti-angiogenic effects of several compounds including small-molecule kinase inhibitors, such as sunitinib (pan-kinase inhibitor), tofacitinib (JAK-inhibitor), NIKi (NF-κB-inducing kinase inhibitor), and the integrin-targeting peptide fluciclatide, using a scratch assay and 3D spheroid-based models of angiogenesis.

Biologics and Small Molecules for Inflammatory Nail Disorders: A Narrative Review.

Indian Dermatol Online J

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Inflammatory dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, lichen planus, eczema, and alopecia areata, are frequently accompanied by nail findings and can have a significant impact on quality of life. Biologic and small-molecule medications have been approved over the past several decades in treating patients with these inflammatory nail disorders. They may be used in conjunction with longstanding mainstays of treatment (topical and intralesional corticosteroids, topical vitamin D3 analogs).
