AI Article Synopsis

  • Psoriatic patients receiving vaccines need clear guidelines on whether to pause or maintain their systemic medications, especially for live and nonlive vaccines.
  • The National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board and experts developed 22 consensus statements recommending that most patients can continue oral and biologic therapies for nonlive vaccines, but should consider stopping methotrexate.
  • For live vaccines, most therapies should be interrupted before and after vaccination, except for abatacept, and timing adjustments for vaccine administration are crucial.

Article Abstract

Background: For psoriatic patients who need to receive nonlive or live vaccines, evidence-based recommendations are needed regarding whether to pause or continue systemic therapies for psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis.

Objective: To evaluate literature regarding vaccine efficacy and safety and to generate consensus-based recommendations for adults receiving systemic therapies for psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis receiving nonlive or live vaccines.

Methods: Using a modified Delphi process, 22 consensus statements were developed by the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board and COVID-19 Task Force, and infectious disease experts.

Results: Key recommendations include continuing most oral and biologic therapies without modification for patients receiving nonlive vaccines; consider interruption of methotrexate for nonlive vaccines. For patients receiving live vaccines, discontinue most oral and biologic medications before and after administration of live vaccine. Specific recommendations include discontinuing most biologic therapies, except for abatacept, for 2-3 half-lives before live vaccine administration and deferring next dose 2-4 weeks after live vaccination.

Limitations: Studies regarding infection rates after vaccination are lacking.

Conclusion: Interruption of antipsoriatic oral and biologic therapies is generally not necessary for patients receiving nonlive vaccines. Temporary interruption of oral and biologic therapies before and after administration of live vaccines is recommended in most cases.

Background/aims: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) frequently occurs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly when influenced by factors such as abdominal infections, IBD flare-ups, or surgical procedures. The implications of PVT range from immediate issues such as intestinal ischemia to long-term concerns including portal hypertension and its complications. However, there is a notable gap in comprehensive studies on PVT in IBD, especially with the increasing incidence of IBD in Asia.

Background: The multi-biological barriers present in the inflammatory microenvironment severely limit the targeted aggregation of anti-inflammatory drugs in the lesion area. However, conventional responsive drug carriers inevitably come into contact with several pro-responsive stimulatory mediators simultaneously, leading to premature drug release and loss of most therapeutic effects. Breaking through the multi-level barriers of the inflammatory microenvironment is essential to improve the enrichment and bioavailability of drugs.

Background: This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy with 2-4 °C normal saline irrigation on post-operative pain after single-visit non-surgical root canal retreatment.

Methods: Forty-six single-rooted, single-canal teeth requiring non-surgical root canal retreatment were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 23): a cryotherapy group and a control group. All the treatments were completed during a single visit.

Soybeans and peanuts belong to the leguminous family and are common causes of food anaphylaxis. Symptoms range from oral allergy syndrome to severe breathing difficulties, anaphylactic shock, and even death. But the allergens causing allergies are different, and the severity of symptoms are different.

Objective: To develop, externally validate, and test a series of computer algorithms to accurately predict antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) results at the time of clinical diagnosis, up to 3 days before standard urine culture results become available, with the goal of improving antibiotic stewardship and patient outcomes.

Patients And Methods: Machine learning algorithms were developed and trained to predict susceptibility or resistance using over 4.7 million discrete AST classifications from urine cultures in a cohort of adult patients from outpatient and inpatient settings from 2012 to 2022.
