People with connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease have an increased risk for developing venous thromboembolisms. What risk factors do clinicians need to be aware of?
Differentiating autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP) from a flare-up of interstitial pneumonia associated with dermatomyositis is challenging. This case highlights the need for early APAP scrutiny.
SAMS are the main reason statins are discontinued, but they range in severity and persistence. Learn about self-limited and autoimmune statin myopathy, the factors that impact them, and available treatment strategies.
Hypopituitarism has a negative impact on bone health throughout life. Patients should be assessed for the presence of bone disorders as early treatment may prevent bone complications from developing.

Hydrocephalus is a rare complication of neurosarcoidosis, usually requiring prompt high-dose IV corticosteroids and neurosurgical treatment. Neurosurgery can have severe complications, but select cases may be eligible for drug treatment only.
When newborns present with clinical signs such as rash, distal extremity desquamation, and cervical lymph adenitis, and simultaneous increases in peripheral blood leukocyte count and platelets, clinicians should be highly alert to KD even without fever.
Post Acute Sequelae of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2), also known as PASC, also referred to as “long-haul COVID-19”, Post-COVID Syndrome, chronic COVID syndrome, long-COVID, or Post Acute Coronavirus Disease 2019 …
Osteoporosis (OP) is a widespread skeletal disorder globally, chiefly characterized by reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, contributing to heightened bone fragility and an increased propensity for fractures [ 1 ]. The …
The global burden of osteoporosis continues to rise with an ageing population. Untreated osteoporotic fractures not only heighten the risk of subsequent fractures but are associated with excess mortality. Although primary care guidelines …
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disease associated with low bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitectural deterioration, and an increased risk of fracture [ 1 ]. The estimated prevalence of OP in the US is 10.2 million with an additional …
Primary infection by the varicella-zoster virus leads to childhood varicella (chickenpox) in the majority of the population. The virus remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia, and can be reactivated later in life, causing herpes zoster (HZ) [ 1 …
Several new treatment options with improved side effect profiles compared to conventional chemotherapeutics for neurological autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, but also for rare neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis …
Sarcoidosis is a rare granulomatous disease that can affect any organ. It leads to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, due to biochemical pathways involved in low-grade inflammation in both diseases. The aim of our …
