Seronegative spondyloarthropathies : a review : part II: genetics and pathogenesis [PDF]
In none of the spondyloarthropathies is the pathogenesis well understood. Much of the investigation into the aetio-pathogenesis of these diseases has focused on the association with HLA-B27 and the known triggering potential of certain infectious agents.

High prevalence of bronchiectasis is linked to HTLV-1-associated inflammatory disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), a retrovirus, is the causative agent of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

What's New? Anal and vulvar high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) frequently recur following treatment. Additional genital and anal procedures, however, can be distressing for patients and are potentially disfiguring. This trial assessed whether the 9‐valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine reduces HSIL recurrence risk or HPV ...

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

Characterization of Epstein-Barr viral strains in parotid gland saliva and peripheral blood of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome and healthy EBV carriers [PDF]
Increased Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replication has been reported in the salivary and lacrimal glands in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). We studied whether or not certain EBV strains would occur preferentially in the peripheral blood and parotid gland saliva of ...

TAM pathway proteins as novel salivary biomarkers for periodontitis
Abstract Background The identification of molecular biomarkers that help clinicians in early diagnosis is a key focus of periodontal research. The major aim of this cross‐sectional observational study was to assess whether salivary TAM pathway protein levels have the potential to discriminate between periodontally healthy or gingivitis controls and ...

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