Endothelin-1 promotes vascular smooth muscle cell migration across the artery wall: a mechanism contributing to vascular remodelling and intimal hyperplasia in giant-cell arteritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory disease of large/medium-sized arteries, frequently involving the temporal arteries (TA). Inflammation-induced vascular remodelling leads to vaso-occlusive events. Circulating endothelin-1 (ET1) is

Genome‐Wide DNA Methylation Study Reveals Specific Signatures in the Affected Arterial Tissue of Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large‐vessel vasculitis, potentially causing complications such as blindness and strokes. This study aims to gain insights into the pathogenesis of GCA by identifying specific DNA methylation signatures in the arterial tissue of patients with this vasculitis. Methods DNA methylation profiling was analyzed in 79

A Case of Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy and Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sudden onset of horizontal diplopia in an elderly patient can be due to giant cell arteritis. Although the patient reported was a vasculopath, a concurrent headache, mild reduction in visual acuity, scalp tenderness and raised inflammatory markers lead ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists, Sodium‐Glucose Cotransporter‐2 Inhibitors, and Risk of Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective GLP‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) and SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) facilitate weight loss and exhibit immunomodulatory effects, but their impact on the risk of developing autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) is unclear. We compared ARD incidence following initiation of GLP‐1RAs, or SGLT2is, vs.

Unexpected Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Diagnosed by Computed Tomography Angiography in the Emergency Department

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
3D Volume Rendering coronary CTA reconstruction showing a giant thrombosed aneurysm of the proximal right coronary artery ABSTRACT Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA) are usually defined as diameter > 8 mm or > 400% of the adjacent normal segment; they are very rare (reported prevalence ≈0.02%).

Giant Cell Arteritis: A Diagnostic Challenge in an Older Adult [PDF]

open access: yesGeriatrics, Gerontology and Aging
Giant cell arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis usually seen in older adults. The inflammatory process results in systemic, ophthalmic, and neurological lesions. It is difficult to diagnose in older adults and may present as a medical emergency.

Targeting Immunologic Pathways in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: Translating Emerging Evidence Into Clinical Practice

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare and potentially life‐threatening systemic, inflammatory disease with multi‐organ manifestations, variable presentation and complex pathology. Multiple interconnected immunological pathways are implicated in EGPA pathology, including a type‐2 immune response driving predominantly ...
