Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor‐induced arrhythmias: Mechanistic insights from clinical and preclinical studies

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, but their efficacy continues to be limited by immune‐related adverse events. Among these, ICI‐induced cardiac arrhythmias are increasingly recognised as a major adverse reaction, encompassing a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes, including conduction blocks, atrial fibrillation and

Predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit stay after complete pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background The risk factors of postoperative outcomes after pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis have still been unclear. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit ...

Arrhythmias associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy—A clinical perspective

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy but are associated with a growing spectrum of cardiovascular immune‐related adverse events. Among these, arrhythmias represent a rare yet potentially life‐threatening complication. ICI‐induced arrhythmias encompass a wide clinical spectrum, including atrial arrhythmias, conduction ...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Patients With Chronic Cutaneous Lupus: A Bicentric Study Employing Three Classification Criteria

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
This bicentric study of 95 CCLE patients shows SLE prevalence (21.1%–31.6%) varies significantly by classification criteria. Arthralgia was a consistent independent risk factor across all systems. Our findings support the implementation of systematic risk‐stratified screening protocols for CCLE patients, with particular attention to joint symptoms and ...

Chylous ascites due to constrictive pericarditis

, 2000
Chylous ascites due to constrictive pericarditis is an extremely rare clinical entity, possibly caused by the augmented lymph production and high impedance to lymph drainage due to central venous hypertension.

Constrictive Pericarditis: A Commonly Missed Cause of Treatable Diastolic Heart Failure

, 2020
Constrictive pericarditis arises as a result of the fibrous thickening of the pericardium due to chronic inflammatory changes from various injuries. Increased pulmonary and systemic venous pressures manifest clinical features of left and right heart ...

Quantification of echodensities in tuberculous pericardial effusion using fractal geometry: a proof of concept study

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2012
Background The purpose of this study was to quantify the heterogeneous distribution of echodensities in the pericardial fluid of patients with tuberculous pericarditis using echocardiography and fractal analysis, and to determine whether there were ...
