Immunosenescence, the slow degradation of immune function over time that is a hallmark and driver of aging, makes older people much more likely to be killed by common infections (such as flu) than young adults, but it also contributes greatly to rates of chronic inflammation in later life. Such micro nutrients are crucial for modulating effective immune responses and their deficiencies have been associated with dysfunctional immunity in the elderly. In this review, we specifically focused on the contribution of major micro nutrients (Vitamins A, D and E, Vitamin C; Zinc and Selenium) as immunomodulators in ageing population especially related to inflame-ageing process including autoimmunity.

The dearth of approved products to treat oral lichen planus (OLP) compels off-label use of dermatological corticosteroid formulations not optimized for indications in the oral cavity. The aims of this study were to develop aqueous micelle based formulations of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and fluocinonide (FLU), using D-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, and to investigate corticosteroid delivery to the epithelium-lamina propria junction region - the anatomical target for OLP treatment - in comparison to that from marketed products. Total mucosal deposition of TA after application of Kenacort® A Orabase® (0.

Objectives: Evidence regarding the efficacy of neridronate in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I) is increasing, however, very little data are available in paediatric age. Our aim was to analyse the safety and the efficacy of neridronate in a case series of children with CRPS I, according to the Budapest criteria, who did not respond to previous pharmacological and physical therapy.
Methods: We collected data of children affected by CRPS I from three paediatric rheumatology centres who received neridronate.
