SEOM clinical guidelines for anaemia treatment in cancer patients (2020).

Anaemia is defined by the presence of haemoglobin (Hb) levels < 13 g/dL in men and 12 g/dL in women. Up to 39% of cancer patients present it at the time of diagnosis and up to 40% have iron deficiency. Anaemia causes fatigue, functional deterioration and a reduction in the quality of life; it has also been associated with a poorer response to anti-tumour treatment and lower survival. Basic diagnostic tests for anaemia are simple and should be a routine part of clinical practice. These guidelines review the available evidence on the use of different therapies for treating anaemia: erythropoiesi

Treatment of Severe Atopic Dermatitis with Dupilumab in Patients with Advanced Cancer.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory intensively pruritic skin disease. Patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis or with difficult-to-treat areas are candidates for systemic therapy, especially when topical therapy is inadequate. Currently, we have available not only conventional immunosuppressive systemic therapy, but also targeted biological therapy, which has shown a remarkable reduction in clinical severity with a good safety profile. Dupilumab has been approved to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Even though the therapy has been available for more than 3 years,

Conjunctival Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease in Adult Patients Receiving Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the incidence, risk factors and survival of conjunctival acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in adult patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS: This retrospective study included a total of 139 patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT between January 2012 and December 2014 at a tertiary referral hospital. Patients with ocular complaints after allogeneic HSCT or first donor lymphocyte infusion were evaluated by ophthalmologists. The risk factors for conjunctival aGVHD were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model.

Fc Epsilon RI-Neuroimmune Interplay in Pruritus Triggered by Particulate Matter in Atopic Dermatitis Patients.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic relapsing neuroinflammatory skin disease that is characterized by a complex and multifactorial pathophysiology. It reflects a profound interplay between genetic and environmental factors, and a recently disclosed neuroimmune dysregulation that drives skin barrier disruption, pruritus, and microbial imbalance. In terms of the key external environmental players that impact AD, air quality and itch severity linkage have been thoroughly researched. The impact of ambient air pollutants including particulate matter (PM) and AD pruritic exacerbation h

Allergy in Cancer Care: Antineoplastic Therapy-Induced Hypersensitivity Reactions.

As the backbone of oncological treatments, systemic chemotherapy is still one of the main pawns in cancer care, alone or in combination with newer targeted agents. All chemotherapy agents can be associated with a type of adverse event called an infusion reaction, which can be characterized as unpredictable, non-dose related, and unexplained by the cytotoxic profile of the drug. For some of these events, a certain immunological mechanism can be identified by blood or skin testing. In this case, we can speak of true hypersensitivity reactions that occur as a response to an antigen/allergen. The

Chimeric Antigen Receptors Based on Low Affinity Mutants of FcεRI Re-direct T Cell Specificity to Cells Expressing Membrane IgE.

IgE is the key mediator of allergic responses. Omalizumab, an IgE-specific monoclonal antibody that depletes IgE, is effective for treating severe allergic asthma. The need for frequent administration of the expensive drug, however, limits its applications. Taking advantage of T cell memory, adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) targeting IgE-producing cells has the potential to achieve long-term suppression of IgE and relief of symptoms for severe allergic diseases. The transmembrane form of IgE (mIgE), which is present on all IgE-producing cells, serves as an excellent molecular target for ACT that

The 2024 Saudi Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit: A Modified Delphi Study.

BACKGROUND: Several pharmacy schools in Saudi Arabia (S.A.) refer to the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) pharmacotherapy toolkit in developing their pharmacotherapy curriculum. However, the ACCP toolkit does not specifically address the healthcare needs of the Saudi population. A tailored pharmacotherapy curriculum that offers graduates the essential competencies to better serve the nation's needs is warranted. This study aims to develop a population-centered didactic pharmacotherapy toolkit for the Saudi population to assist pharmacy schools in designing pharmacotherapy course co

Efficacy and safety of dupilumab in a patient with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

This case report evaluated the efficacy and safety of dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 and interleukin-13, in a patient with atopic dermatitis (AD) and a history of metastatic renal cancer. Over 20 months of follow-up, the patient experienced significant improvement in AD symptoms without any recurrence of cancer. In addition to not stimulating carcinogenesis, dupilumab might synergistically inhibit tumor-induced immunosuppression, thereby potentially preventing tumor progression. This case suggests that dupilumab could be a viable treatment option for patients with AD

Breast Implant Illness May Be Rooted in Mast Cell Activation: A Case-Controlled Retrospective Analysis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible association between breast implant illness (BII) and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), which often manifests increased mast cells (MCs) in assorted tissues and may explain BII symptoms.BackgroundMechanisms by which implants cause BII symptoms remain unclear, but BII and MCAS symptom profiles heavily overlap, warranting investigation of potential linkage.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 20 implant patients who underwent explantation and total capsulectomy; 15 self-reported preoperatively they had BII (subject group); 5 felt they did not [control group

Ocular toxicity associated with antibody-drug conjugates in cancer therapy: a comprehensive review.

Ocular toxicity from anti-cancer drugs is frequently overlooked, largely because it is non-life-threatening, whereas clinical priorities often center on adverse events that pose immediate risks to survival. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as an important therapeutic modality in oncology, offering potent cytotoxicity against tumor cells through the targeted delivery of payloads. However, this potency also introduces a spectrum of toxicities, among which ocular toxicity has gained increasing attention. ADC-induced ocular toxicity can impair visual function and significantly compromi

Pharmacological treatment options for mast cell activation disease.

Mast cell activation disease (MCAD) is a term referring to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by aberrant release of variable subsets of mast cell (MC) mediators together with accumulation of either morphologically altered and immunohistochemically identifiable mutated MCs due to MC proliferation (systemic mastocytosis [SM] and MC leukemia [MCL]) or morphologically ordinary MCs due to decreased apoptosis (MC activation syndrome [MCAS] and well-differentiated SM). Clinical signs and symptoms in MCAD vary depending on disease subtype and result from excessive mediator release by MC

Совпадение с Такаясу Артеритом и множественным склерозом: обзор скрипта и доклад по делу.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Такайасу-артерит (ТА) и множественный склероз (МС) являются как иммунизированными заболеваниями, которые могут сосуществовать, при этом ТА вызывает сосудистое воспаление, а MS - обезвоживание, вызванное аберрантной активностью Т-клеток. Совпадение этих условий подчеркивает наличие общих иммунных механизмов, таких, как регулирование &quot; Т-клеток &quot; и высвобождение цитокина, что подчеркивает необходимость нюансированного понимания их взаимодействия, которое изучается в ходе описательного обзора зарегистрированных случаев. Мы рассказываем обо всех зарегистрированных случаях насил

Alcohol Consumption and Autoimmune Diseases.

Alcohol is the second-most misused substance after tobacco. It has been identified as a causal factor in more than 200 diseases and 5.3% of all deaths and is associated with significant behavioral, social, and economic difficulties. As alcohol consumption may modulate the immune system's regulatory mechanisms to avoid attacking the body's tissues, it has been proven to play a dichotomic role in autoimmune diseases (ADs) based on the quantity of consumption. In this review, we report updated evidence on the role of alcohol in ADs, with a focus on alcohol addiction and the human biological immun
