Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Altered DNA methylation pattern characterizes the peripheral immune cells of patients with autoimmune hepatitis
(2022)Background and Aims: Little is known about the impact of DNA methylation modifications on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) pathogenesis and therapeutic response. We investigated the potential alterations of DNA methylation in ... -
Anti-cd20 agents for multiple sclerosis: Spotlight on ocrelizumab and ofatumumab
(2020)Until recently, in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the contribution of B cells has been largely underestimated, and the disease was considered a T-cell-mediated disorder. However, newer evidence shows that B ... -
Bioavailability, Efficacy and Safety of Generic Immunosuppressive Drugs for Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2016)Background: Concerns exist over the extrapolation of bioavailability studies of generic immunosuppressive drugs in healthy volunteers, regarding their efficacy and safety in kidney transplant recipients. We conducted a ... -
Children with psoriasis and COVID-19: factors associated with an unfavourable COVID-19 course, and the impact of infection on disease progression (Chi-PsoCov registry)
(2022)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions regarding the management of chronic skin diseases, especially in patients on systemic treatments. Data concerning the use of biologics in adults with psoriasis are ... -
Clinical features and outcomes of patients with tubercular uveitis treated with antitubercular therapy in the collaborative ocular tuberculosis study (COTS)-1
(2017)IMPORTANCE Eradication of systemic tuberculosis (TB) has been limited by neglected populations and the HIV pandemic. Whereas ocular TB often presents as uveitis without any prior evidence of systemic TB, the existing ... -
A comparative analysis between proteasome and immunoproteasome inhibition in cellular and humoral alloimmunity
(2017)Triggered by the successful administration of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in kidney transplant recipients with acute or chronic antibody-mediated rejection, we evaluated the effect of the proteasome inhibitor ... -
COVID-19 Mortality Differences: Patient-related Data and Intensive Care Unit Load Are Prerequisites

Curcumin for the management of periodontitis and early ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis: Killing two birds with one stone
(2018)We propose curcumin as a preventive measure to avoid/manage periodontitis (PD), and as a natural immunosuppressant for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PD, mainly caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis forming biofilm and leading ... -
Epidemiology of biopsy-confirmed giant cell arteritis in southern Sweden - an update on incidence and first prevalence estimate
(2022)Objective: To characterize the epidemiology of temporal artery biopsy-positive (TAB+) GCA, including trends in incidence, seasonal variation and prevalence in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden. Methods: All ... -
First Results From a Propensity Matching Trial of Mycophenolate Mofetil vs. Azathioprine in Treatment-Naive AIH Patients
(2022)Background/Aims: As previous real-world studies and meta-analyses have shown that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might have better efficacy than azathioprine (AZA) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), we conducted a propensity ... -
How can we effectively address the paraneoplastic dermatomyositis: Diagnosis, risk factors and treatment options
(2017)Purpose: Dermatomyositis (DM) represents an auto-immune inflammatory myopathy. In this review, we analyzed the incidence of DM as a clinical manifestation highlighting the peculiar clinical and treatment characteristics ... -
ICU-Associated Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infection: Risk Factors Affecting the Outcome Following the Emergence of Colistin-Resistant Isolates in a Regional Greek Hospital
(2022)Intensive care unit patients may present infections by difficult-to-treat-resistant Gram-negative microorganisms. Colistin resurfaced as a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative ... -
Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced musculoskeletal manifestations
(2021)Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) associate with a wide range of immune-related adverse events (Ir-AE), including musculoskeletal manifestations. We aimed at identifying all studies reporting musculoskeletal Ir-AE. An ... -
Immunotherapy of systemic sclerosis
(2018)Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic systemic disease characterized by microvasculopathy, immune activation, and extensive collagen deposition. Microvasculopathy and immune activation occur very early in the disease ... -
Increased indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase in monocytes of patients on hemodialysis
(2016)Hemodialysis patients suffer from susceptibility to infections. Inflammation upregulates indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the antigen-presenting cells, which suppresses T-cell function. Plasma IDO activity or protein ... -
