Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Patients with ARDs have a significantly increased risk for stroke. Review the epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical characteristics, prevention strategies, and post-stroke rehabilitation in this patient population.
Early recognition and aggressive immunosuppression are essential to preventing irreversible neurological damage in Neuro‑Behçet syndrome. Explore the emerging diagnostic techniques and evolving long‑term treatment strategies improving patient outcomes.
A woman with a history of hepatic echinococcosis presented with pulmonary lesions that did not improve with antiparasitic therapy, prompting rheumatologic evaluation and a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
IRVAN – idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis – risks severe vision loss in refractory cases. In this case, marked improvement after anti-VEGF failure suggests adalimumab may be an effective option that targets underlying inflammation.
Cardiac and thrombotic problems are severe outcomes of Kawasaki disease. The standard therapy is intravenous immunoglobulin plus aspirin but the ideal aspirin dose is still controversial.

IRVAN – idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis – risks severe vision loss in refractory cases. In this case, marked improvement after anti-VEGF failure suggests adalimumab may be an effective option that targets underlying inflammation.
An infant diagnosed with Kawasaki disease developed impetigo-like psoriasiform eruption that was refractory to oral antibiotics and topical steroids, and only improved after treatment with oral prednisolone.
Autoimmune diseases result from the immune system’s inability to distinguish between self and non-self, destroying healthy tissue. T regulatory cells (Tregs) are a unique subset of CD4 + T cells, which play a crucial role in immune tolerance and …
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion, action, or both. Glucocorticoid-induced DM (GIDM) is a clinically significant subtype, especially in rheumatology, where glucocorticoids (GCs) …
Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the exocrine glands, while Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a large-vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its major branches. Although SjD frequently overlaps …
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis affecting medium-sized vessels and characterized by fever lasting more than 5 days. Differential diagnosis of KD is challenging. Microribonucleic acids (miRNA/miR) have been widely studied as potential …
Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) are at increased risk of osteoporosis due to multiple disease- and treatment-related factors. However, real-world data on osteoporosis screening practices in this population remain limited. The aim of …
The factors influencing the regression of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in Kawasaki disease (KD) remain incompletely understood. Recent studies suggest a potential role for coronary inflammation and fat attenuation index (FAI) of perivascular …
Paediatric rheumatologic emergencies are rare but potentially fatal, and may present as the first manifestation of an underlying rheumatic disease. These conditions frequently present with nonspecific constitutional or organ-specific symptoms …
Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-positive vasculitis frequently affects the kidney and the lung, with alveolar hemorrhage being fatal. Whereas aggressive immunosuppressive therapies are conventionally used, recent …
