Marfan and Weill-Marchesani syndromes have a mutation of the fibrillin gene (FBN1), producing alteration of connective tissue, within ophthalmology, it is important to take into consideration this type of diseases in cogenetic alterations in this system will produce modifications at the level of the ocular structures generating problems of various types, Most of the literature refers to ectopia lentis and the complications derived from it, as secondary glaucoma. We present two patients, one with Marfan syndrome and the other with Weill-Marchesani syndrome, who developed lens dislocation, typical of their pathologies, which led them to undergo different surgeries. Both developed suture dehiscence after these surgeries, as a complication derived from their connective tissue involvement. We thus highlight the need for vigilance and extreme caution in the postoperative period of patients affected by this type of syndromes.

Visceral adipose tissue, a type of abdominal adipose tissue, is highly involved in lipolysis. Because increased visceral adiposity is strongly associated with the metabolic complications related with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, there is a need for precise, targeted, personalized and site-specific measures clinically. Existing studies showed that ectopic fat accumulation may be characterized differently among different populations due to complex genetic architecture and non-genetic or epigenetic components, ie, Asians have more and Africans have less visceral fat vs Europeans.

Arterial endothelial cells (ECs) reside in a complex biomechanical environment. ECs sense and respond to wall shear stress. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress is characteristic of disturbed flow and commonly found at arterial bifurcations and around atherosclerotic plaques.

Background: Moderate doses of glucocorticoids result in improvements in nearly all patients with polymyalgia rheumatica, but related adverse events are common in older individuals. We aimed to evaluate whether treatment with baricitinib (a Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor) results in disease control without the use of oral glucocorticoids in people with recent-onset polymyalgia rheumatica.
Methods: We conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial at six expert centres in France.
Background: Acne is an inflammatory skin disease afflicting the majority of the world's population at some point in their lifetime, and is seen to be chronic in about 50% of cases. Acne leads to significant social withdrawal, depression, and disfiguring scars in many cases. Available treatments are characterized by high rates of relapse, dangerous side effects, and social stigma, which often leads to poor patient compliance and treatment failure.
