Long‐Term Dermoscopic Evolution of Reticular Erythematous Mucinosis: Case Report

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reticular erythematous mucinosis is a rare dermatosis with a challenging diagnosis. To date, its dermoscopic features have not been well characterised in the literature. Only a limited number of case reports have described dermoscopic findings that may be indicative of the disorder, including the presence of dotted and linear vessels, as well ...

Primary Sjögren’s syndrome with polymyositis, a rare amalgamation

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2018
Sjögren’s syndrome is characterized by diminished lacrimal and salivary gland secretory function. This disorder is not strictly confined to the exocrine glands and its manifestations may extend to extraglandular sites, such as the lungs, kidneys ...

Effect of Systemic Immunomodulators on Incidence of Alopecia Areata: A Retrospective Cohort Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic autoimmune hair loss disorder. Patients with primary autoimmune diseases commonly use systemic immunomodulators to manage disease and have an increased risk of developing AA. Systemic immunomodulators have diverse immunologic effects, but their impact on AA risk is not well understood. Objectives We

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory

Regenerating Gene Protein as a Novel Autoantigen in the Pathogenesis of Sjögren’s Syndrome

Antibodies, 2015
Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease characterized by exocrine gland dysfunction leading to dry mouth and dry eye diseases, is typified by lymphoplasmacytic infiltrations and a progressive destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands.

Diagnosing Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Excised Tissue Using Optical Coherence Tomography

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) can quantify eosinophils in excised sinonasal tissue and diagnose eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP). Counts of globules resembling eosinophils on OCT images strongly correlated with eosinophils per HPF on histology, with a cutoff of 45 globules on OCT imaging ...

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Glucocorticoid‐Induced TNFR‐Related Ligand as a Biomarker for Diagnosis and Severity of Asthma in Children

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates elevated GITRL expression in HDM‐exposed dendritic cells (in vitro), murine asthma models, and pediatric asthma patients, and reveals a direct association between GITRL levels and disease severity in children. ABSTRACT Currently, there are no reliable pediatric biomarkers for assessing the severity of asthma. Therefore, the study

Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for rheumatoid arthritis: Long‐term efficacy, safety, and mechanistic insights

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract summarizing the multifactorial pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy. MSCs provide promising benefits through their immunomodulatory properties, low immunogenicity, ability to promote tissue repair, and multi‐lineage differentiation, presenting a potential ...

The Development and Content Validation of the Sjögren’s Related Quality of Life Instrument (SRQoL)

Rheumatology and Therapy
Introduction Several clinical outcome assessment (COA) instruments assess Sjögren’s disease (Sjögren’s) symptoms, but do not provide comprehensive assessment of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impact of Sjögren’s. This study aimed to develop a
