We present the case of a 52-year-old white male who showed arthritis, conjunctivitis and non-gonococcal urethritis. Besides those manifestations, the patient also showed mucocutaneous lesions that were both clinically and histologically indistinguishable from those of pustular psoriasis. Due to the severity of the disease it was necessary to treat this patient with corticosteroids and immunosuppressors. With this therapy the clinical manifestations of Reiter's Syndrome disappeared but sudden abdominal and bronchopulmonary symptoms complicated the picture and the patient died in a septical shock. The autopsy findings revealed massive Strongyloidiasis with the presence of larvae in several organs, particularly in the intestinal wall, the lungs and the liver.

Identifying pharmacological probes for human proteins represents a key opportunity to accelerate the discovery of new therapeutics. High-content screening approaches to expand the ligandable proteome offer the potential to expedite the discovery of novel chemical probes to study protein function. Screening libraries of reactive fragments by chemoproteomics offers a compelling approach to ligand discovery, however, optimising sample throughput, proteomic depth, and data reproducibility remains a key challenge.

Article Synopsis
- Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a reactive oxygen species produced in mitochondria, and its high levels are associated with various diseases, making its detection crucial in medicine.
- A new dual-modality probe called MB-ClO has been developed, which uses near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging techniques to accurately and sensitively detect HClO in biological systems.
- MB-ClO shows low toxicity and good water solubility, has a fast response time, and has been successfully tested in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis, highlighting its potential for biomedical applications.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed clinical features of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), a type of painful ophthalmoplegia, by collecting data from patients diagnosed at a hospital over four years.
- A total of 35 patients were included, with 18 diagnosed with THS, who typically presented symptoms like pain, ptosis, and MRI abnormalities, alongside various immunological findings.
- Treated with glucocorticoids, most THS patients saw symptom relief within weeks, though some experienced relapses during follow-up.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has great potential and advantages in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Wutou decoction (WTD) was first recorded as a pill in the TCM classical book Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE). It has significant therapeutic effects in delaying and reversing RA while improving patients' clinical symptoms, making it the best example of TCM treatment for RA.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that mainly causes joint damage. The patient experiences loss of appetite, pain, fever, and fatigue. The present study was designed to phytochemically characterize and evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of green-synthesized copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) using the hydroalcoholic extract of roots in an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model.
