Treatment Goals for Primary Biliary Cholangitis, an Australian Perspective

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease that targets the small intrahepatic bile ducts with diagnosis based on elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and the presence of anti‐mitochondrial antibodies. Untreated, it may run a progressive course to cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation, at which point liver ...

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

Placental malperfusion and angiogenesis‐related proteins are associated with small‐for‐gestational‐age in systemic lupus erythematosus

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pregnancy frequently results in small for gestational age (SGA) infants, the understanding of underlying mechanisms is limited. We aimed to identify specific histological patterns of placental injury in SGA in SLE and to explore whether an altered balance of angiogenesis‐related proteins ...

Advances in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus: Biologicals, small‐molecular agents, and cell‐depleting therapies coming to the clinic

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; lupus) remains a particular challenge for the practicing clinician on account of its chronic undulating and unpredictable course, its diverse manifestations, and—until recently—limited treatment options all associated with considerable downsides.

Association of Vitamin B6 and Homocysteine–ACTH Coupling With Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: An Exploratory Case–Control Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this exploratory case–control study, plasma PLP (vitamin B6), homocysteine and ACTH concentrations did not differ between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and controls, and none discriminated patients individually. Within patients, however, psychological distress mapped onto a homocysteine–ACTH relationship from which PLP appeared ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Sjögren’s syndrome and hepatitis C virus infection presenting as hypokalemic quadriparesis: A case report

Journal of International Medical Research
Distal renal tubular acidosis can present with acute-onset quadriparesis caused by severe hypokalemia, and primary Sjögren’s syndrome is a significant potential cause of distal renal tubular acidosis in such patients.
