E-Cigarettes and Asthma in Adolescents

E-cigarettes have the potential to be a trigger for the development of asthma. This study also showed that both past and present usage of e-cigarettes are strongly related to the development of asthma in adults. E-cigarettes are non-conventional tobacco products that employ a rechargeable battery for heating disposable e-liquid cartridges. This leads to the production...

Inflammatory Biomarker Levels in Severe Asthma

Tezepelumab reduced the levels of T2 inflammatory biomarkers, leading to reduced exacerbations and airway inflammation in patients suffering from severe asthma. Asthma is a prevalent disorder in the global population, with approximately 10% of the world population suffering from severe asthma. Patients with severe asthma demonstrate uncontrollable disease despite the administration of inhaled therapies with...

Prenatal Antibiotic Exposure and Infant Atopic Dermatitis

The administration of prenatal antibiotics in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy in women over 30 years of age is significantly associated with the onset of AD in the offspring. Initiating in utero, the human microbiome is integral to the normal metabolic and immune function later in life. Microbial exposure is influenced by antibiotic use, breastfeeding,...

Dupilumab Treatment in Children with Atopic Dermatitis

Dupilumab is effective for improving quality of life, sleep, and signs and symptoms of AD in children aged 6-11 years. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most prevalent inflammatory skin condition in infants and children. AD appears within six months of age in 45% of cases, less than one year of age in 60% of cases,...

Atopic Dermatitis and Infertility

The prevalence of infertility is greater among individuals with AD as compared to healthy individuals without AD. Infertility is the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of unprotected sexual intercourse. A decline in fertility rates is a significant public health concern. Infertility affects approximately 10–15% of couples across the globe....

Atopic dermatitis and the risk of eating disorders

Individuals with AD are at relatively significant risk for the development of concomitant ED, hence, it is important to remain vigilant of the cutaneous manifestations of ED Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin disorder that impairs the quality of life of both the patient and the caregiver to a significant extent. This inflammatory...

Medication Adherence in Patients With ATTR-CM

Medication adherence is a critical aspect of treating patients with ATTR-CM and ensuring optimal outcomes. Research suggests that many patients with ATTR-CM are adherent to treatment with tafamidis, partly due to the availability of a one-tablet dose. Tafamidis is the first FDA-approved treatment for ATTR-CM that has been shown to help reduce disease progression and...

Recognizing the Signs of ATTR to Improve Diagnosis and Treatment

An early diagnosis of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is key for managing the disease and preventing costly complications. One study suggests that cardiovascular symptoms and increased hospitalizations are a potential way to identify the disease early. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive condition characterized by the buildup of amyloid in the organs and tissues. It can...

Increased Risk of Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Alopecia Areata

Patients with alopecia areata (AA) may have an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction and subsequent cardiovascular complications. A case-control study found that patients with AA had lower reactive hyperemia index (RHI) scores than patients without AA, indicating the potential need for routine cardiovascular screening in patients with AA. As a chronic autoimmune disease, alopecia areata...
