Intra-mesenteric steroids for steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease in pediatric patients: A safe option.
Biomedica
December 2024
Servicio de Cardiología Pediátrica, Departamento Materno-Infantil, Fundación Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia; Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia.
Introduction: Graft-versus-host disease is a serious complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is a major cause of death post-transplantation. Approximately 50% of acute graft-versus-host disease patients do not respond to systemic steroids and their prognosis is poor regardless of the treatment. This study describes our experience with pediatric patients diagnosed with steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease who received intra-mesenteric steroid treatment.

Front Immunol
January 2025
Department of Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China.
Background: For severe systemic rheumatic diseases (SRDs), therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may be applied as a rescue therapy; it usually combined with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) in severe SRDs. However, the necessity of this combination treatment strategy in SRDs remains uncertain.
Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TPE alone versus TPE combined with IVIG/IVMP in treating severe SRDs.
Influence of Multidrug Resistance 1 Gene Variants on Response to Intravenous Methylprednisolone Pulse in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: Preliminary Results.
Curr Rheumatol Rev
January 2025
Clinical and Chemical Pathology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt.
Introduction/objectives: Genetic variations could explain individual responses to drugs. This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene exonic single nucleotide variants (SNVs), rs1128503/C1236T and rs1045642/C3435T, and the response to intravenous methylprednisolone in Egyptian patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Method: Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used.
Low versus high initial oral glucocorticoid dose for lupus nephritis: a pooled analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials.
Lupus Sci Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Dvision of Rheumatology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York City, New York, USA.
Objective: Traditional initial treatment regimens for lupus nephritis (LN) used oral glucocorticoids (GC) in starting doses up to 1.0 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalent with or without a preceding intravenous methylprednisolone pulse. More recent management guidelines recommend lower starting oral GC doses following intravenous pulse therapy.

Introduction: This systematic review aims to evaluate the optimal management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill surgical patients, specifically focusing on positioning, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use, ventilation, fluid resuscitation, and pharmacological treatments.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted utilizing four databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and ProQuest. This study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered with The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.
