Abstract

Scleroderma is a chronic fibrosing disease, in which an early inflammatory reaction precedes the fibrotic response. Systematic analysis of the pathways involved in the development of the disease together with information derived from novel animal models have helped to better understand the mechanisms that trigger and sustain fibrotic reactions.

Riesenzellarteriitis: 15% der Patienten sind von okkulter Form betroffen

16.05.2024 Riesenzellarteriitis Nachrichten

In einer retrospektiven Untersuchung haben Forschende aus Belgien und den Niederlanden die okkulte Form der Riesenzellarteriitis genauer unter die Lupe genommen. In puncto Therapie und Rezidivraten stellten sie keinen sehr großen Unterschied zu Erkrankten mit kranialen Symptomen fest.

Betalaktam-Allergie: praxisnahes Vorgehen beim Delabeling

16.05.2024 Pädiatrische Allergologie Nachrichten

Die große Mehrheit der vermeintlichen Penicillinallergien sind keine. Da das „Etikett“ Betalaktam-Allergie oft schon in der Kindheit erworben wird, kann ein frühzeitiges Delabeling lebenslange Vorteile bringen. Ein Team von Pädiaterinnen und Pädiatern aus Kanada stellt vor, wie sie dabei vorgehen.

Isotretinoin: Risiko für schwere Laboranomalien „marginal erhöht“

08.05.2024 Akne Nachrichten

Die Aknetherapie mit Isotretinoin kann einen Anstieg von Leberenzymen und Blutfetten verursachen. Das Risiko für schwere Störungen ist laut einer Forschungsgruppe der Universität Lübeck aber nur marginal erhöht und auf einen engen Zeitraum konzentriert.
