ERYTHRODERMIC BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID WITH NORWEGIAN SCABIES : A RARE CASE REPORT () - Nov 6, 2023 - Abstract #ISDS2023ISDS_414; Recommendation treatment for NS is a systemic scabicides, single or recurrent dose of oral ivermectine depending on the severity of the case.We present the case of a 55-year-old female with a 4-week history of itchy erythematous plaques, developing into tense blisters, urticarial plaques, erosions and excoriations distributed symmetrically on her head, trunk, and limbs...Systemic methylprednisolone (125mg/day for 10 days) followed by oral methylprednisolone (32 mg/day initially), oral scabicides (ivermectine 12 mg single dose), and topical corticosteroids were administered. After 43 days of follow-up, tense blisters, urticarial plaques and erosions had subsided, and no new lesions were noticed

Perceived stress can trigger psoriatic lesions in human skin in vivo, which can be suppressed by aprepitant () - Nov 6, 2023 - Abstract #ISDS2023ISDS_325; Five days after psoriasis manifestation, we administered them with dexamethasone (DEX), for three days...These observations provide the first conclusive evidence that perceived stress can indeed trigger psoriatic lesions in human skin in vivo, likely at least in part via the induction of substance P-dependent neurogenic inflammation. Moreover, our data suggest that aprepitant, which is FDA-licensed as an anti-emetic, may be repurposed to suppress stress-induced psoriasis relapses/exacerbations.

Journal, IO biomarker: Glucocorticoids alleviate particulate matter-induced COX-2 expression and mitochondrial dysfunction through the Bcl-2/GR complex in A549 cells. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 5, 2023 The PM-induced increase in COX-2 protein, mRNA, and promoter activity was suppressed by glucocorticoids; this effect of glucocorticoids was antagonized by the GR antagonist RU486...Glucocorticoids regulate the PM-exposed induction of COX-2 expression and mitochondrial dysfunction and increase the interaction between GR and Bcl-2. These findings suggest that the COX-2/PGE2 pathway and the interaction between GR and Bcl-2 are potential key therapeutic targets for the suppression of inflammation under PM exposure.

Journal: The efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid stent implantation compared with oral glucocorticoid during perioperative period in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2023 during surgery, and patients in the oral glucocorticoid group received postoperative oral methylprednisolone at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg per day for 7 days, followed by a tapering of 8 mg per week to 8 mg followed by maintenance therapy for 1 week, for a total of 3-4 weeks...In the oral glucocorticoid group,1 patient experienced irritability, and 1 patient experienced weight gain. The glucocorticoid stent implantation has comparable effects to oral glucocorticoid in improving postoperative nasal symptoms, reducing nasal mucosal edema, scar formation, and nasal secretion in patients with CRSwNP undergoing FESS, with a better safety profile.

Eligible patients in the steroid group received at least 1 dose (intravenous, intramuscular, or oral) of dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, prednisone, or prednisolone...This study suggests that steroids for irAE management may not abrogate irAE-associated survival benefits. However, early steroid administration within 2 months of ICI initiation is associated with shorter survival despite continuation of ICI therapy.

Journal: Bronchodilator reversibility testing in morbidly obese non-smokers: fluticasone/salmeterol efficacy versus salbutamol bronchodilator. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2023 Obese subjects showed a high prevalence of restrictive patterns (23.4%), with non-significantly lower spirometric values compared to normal and overweight subjects (p?>?0.05). The magnitude of bronchodilation, as identified by spirometry, following fluticasone/salmeterol was higher in all participants, with a significant increase in obese subjects with a p-value of 0.013, 0.002, and 0.035 for FEV, FEV% predicted, and FEV/FVC, respectively.Fluticasone/salmeterol combination increases FEV, FEV% of predicted, and FEV/FVC ratio than the conventional test using salbutamol inhaler, and it can be a potential candidate for assessment of airway obstruction using reversibility test, especially among the obese population.

Although the difference in overall survival observed between treatment groups was not significant, the safety profile results with long-term follow-up reported here continue to support the use of daratumumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2023 BALB/c mice were divided into eight groups: SAL (saline), OVA (ovalbumin), ELA (elastase), ACO (ovalbumin + elastase), ACO-pep3-EcTI (treated with inhibitor), ACO-DX (treated with dexamethasone), ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI (treated with dexamethasone and inhibitor), and SAL-pep3-EcTI (saline group treated with inhibitor)...ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI reversed the changes, as was also observed for the pep3-EcTI and the ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI. Significance: The pep3-EcTI was revealed to be a promising strategy for the treatment of ACO, asthma, and COPD.
