Precision medicine for autoimmune hepatitis.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease induced by environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. AIH is characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, elevation of serum autoantibodies and transaminases, and interface hepatitis. Personalized therapy is necessary in AIH because of its heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. Precision medicine is a recent and novel therapeutic pattern which ultimately aims to achieve personalized therapy. In this review we summarize the research progress of precision medicine to treat AIH by an exploration of the susceptible genes, …

Myopenia and precision (P4) medicine.

Precision (P4) medicine represents a new medical paradigm that focuses on Personalized, Predictive, Preventive and Participatory approaches. The P4 paradigm is particularly appropriate for moving the care of persons with myopenia forward. Muscular dystrophies are clearly a set of genetically different diseases where genomics are the basis of diagnosis, and genetic modulation via DNA, oligonucleotides and clustered regularly interspaced short palendronic repeats hold great potential for a cure. The utility of personalized genomics for sarcopenia coupled with utilizing a predictive approach for

Precision medicine in Sjögren's disease.

Sjögren's disease is a clinically and pathophysiologically heterogeneous disease to which precision medicine, on the basis of clinical and biological heterogeneity, has been not always applicable. In patients with Sjögren's disease, the relationship between dysregulated biological pathways and symptoms such as fatigue and pain or clinical manifestations is often difficult to establish. This clinical and biological dissociation also poses challenges when defining appropriate clinical endpoints for clinical trials. In the last few years, however, research efforts have been focused on gaining a b…

Precision Medicine with 3D Ultrasound.

INTRODUCTION: A 56-year-old woman was referred for thyroid nodules (TNs) found on a carotid ultrasonography (US). Her laboratories showed a normal thyroid stimulation hormone of 1.530 µIU/mL, normal thyroid hormone levels, and her thyroid antibodies were not elevated. Thyroid 2D US showed an isoechoic solid TN with regular margins measuring 12 × 8 × 10 mm (TR3) in the left thyroid lobe. 3D US demonstrated markedly irregular margins. The nodule volume was 0.52 cm3. Based on current American Thyroid Association and American College of Radiology-Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIR

Precision medicine and metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of the most important health issues around the world and a major risk factor for both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases. The etiology of MetS is determined by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Effective prevention and treatment of MetS notably decreases the risk of its complications such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. According to recent genome-wide association studies, multiple genes are involved in the incidence and development of MetS. The presence of particular genes which are respons

Precision Medicine for Idiopathic Hypersomnia.

Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) includes a clinical phenotype resembling narcolepsy (with repeated, short restorative naps), and a phenotype with an excess of sleep, sleep drunkenness, drowsiness, and infrequent long, nonrestorative naps. Sleep tests reflect this heterogeneity. MSLTs are greater than 8 min in 2/3 of the cases and poorly repeatable. Sleep excess is better captured by extended monitoring identifying 11 to 16h of sleep/24 h. Patients with IH are young and more often female. Possible mechanisms of IH include deficiencies in arousal systems, inappropriate stimulation of sleep-inducing

Precision Medicine with 3D Ultrasound.

Introduction: Currently, B-mode ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging modality in diagnosing thyroid nodules (TNs). B-mode is a two-dimensional US (2D US) imaging display. Recent studies suggest a role for strain and shear wave elastography for evaluating TN as well. Three-dimensional US (3D-US) has the potential to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and precision for thyroid cancer (TC) detection. Materials and Methods: An experienced ultrasonographer (G.A.) evaluated the patient using the following techniques: B-mode, strain and shear wave elastography, and 3D-US followed by fine needle aspira

Precision Medicine for Idiopathic Hypersomnia.

Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness despite normal or prolonged sleep. IH is distinguished from narcolepsy by the female predominance, severe morning inertia, continuous drowsiness (rather than sleep attacks), unrefreshing naps, absence of cataplexy, sleep onset in REM periods, and hypocretin deficiency. In IH, the multiple sleep latency test demonstrates low sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, compared with prolonged sleep monitoring. In some IH cases, an endogenous hypnotic peptide stimulating GABA receptors during wakefulness is suspected,

Precision Medicine Comes to Thyroidology.

The broad spectrum of thyroid disease severity--from subclinical hypothyroidism to myxedema coma, subclinical thyrotoxicosis to thyroid storm, and microscopic papillary to anaplastic cancers--has always demanded that clinicians individualize their management of thyroid patients. Deepening knowledge of thyroid pathophysiology along with advances in diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic technologies applicable to thyroid diseases position this field to ride the wave of precision medicine in the decade ahead.

Radiotheranostics - Precision Medicine in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.

'See what you treat and treat what you see, at a molecular level', could be the motto of theranostics. The concept implies diagnosis (imaging) and treatment of cells (usually cancer) using the same molecule, thus guaranteeing a targeted cytotoxic approach of the imaged tumor cells while sparing healthy tissues. As the brilliant late Sam Gambhir would say, the imaging agent acts like a 'molecular spy' and reveals where the tumoral cells are located and the extent of disease burden (diagnosis). For treatment, the same 'molecular spy' docks to the same tumor cells, this time delivering cytotoxic

Precision medicine in myasthenia graves: begin from the data precision.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a prototypic autoimmune disease with overt clinical and immunological heterogeneity. The data of MG is far from individually precise now, partially due to the rarity and heterogeneity of this disease. In this review, we provide the basic insights of MG data precision, including onset age, presenting symptoms, generalization, thymus status, pathogenic autoantibodies, muscle involvement, severity and response to treatment based on references and our previous studies. Subgroups and quantitative traits of MG are discussed in the sense of data precision. The role of diseas
