Despite several agents being implicated in the development of PAH, the supportive evidence is typically limited, based on case series and observational data. Furthermore, even in the drugs with relatively strong associations, factors that predispose an individual to PAH have yet to be elucidated.

Journal: Rheumatoid arthritis seems to have DMARD treatment decision influenced by fibromyalgia. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 23, 2019 RA patients with FM used more leflunomide and prednisone, and RA mistreatment was more frequent in FM patients. Certainly, RA patients with FM will benefit from a personalized T2T strategy, including ultrasound (when suitable) and proper FM treatment.

Journal: Phylogeography and Molecular Species Delimitation of Pratylenchus capsici n. sp., a New Root-Lesion Nematode in Israel on Pepper (Capsicum annuum). (Pubmed Central) - Aug 21, 2019 ...Here, we report on a new species, Pratylenchus capsici n. sp., from the Arava rift, Israel, which was characterized by integrative methods, including detailed morphology, molecular phylogeny, population genetics, and phylogeography...We found high cytochrome oxidase subunit I haplotype diversity, and phylogeography analysis suggests that contemporary gene flow is prevented among different agricultural farms, while population dispersal from weeds (Chenopodium album and Sonchus oleraceus) to pepper occurs on a relatively small scale. Our results suggest that weeds are important reservoir for the dispersal of P. capsici n. sp., either as the original nematode source or at least in maintaining the population between growing seasons.

Journal: Hepatic manifestation of a macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) (Pubmed Central) - Aug 17, 2019 Under therapy with prednisolone, the fever disappeared and transaminases and ferritin rapidly normalized. Conclusion Aside from the frequent causes of elevated liver values in younger patients, such as nutritive toxic, drug induced liver injury, viral or autoimmune hepatitis, especially in case of massive hyperferritinemia, a MAS should be considered as a rare cause of acute liver disease.

(Pubmed Central) - Aug 17, 2019 Leflunomide treatment increased AKTphosphorylation in the fat and muscle ofmice but not in normal mice. Our results suggest that leflunomide sensitizes the insulin receptor by inhibiting S6K1 activity, and that leflunomide could be potentially useful for treating patients with both RA and diabetes.

The gastrointestinal tract is thought to contain latent CMV after a primary infection This case highlights the importance of recognizing the risks of long term medical treatment with immunomodulatory drugs such as leflunomide or corticosteroids, including local reactivation of a latent virus as in our patient.

Conclusion XFC improves the lung function by inhibiting the PKC/NF-κB pathway and balancing the cytokine network.

Journal: Spatiotemporal variations in soil cultivable mycobiota at the Arava desert (Israel) along latitudinal and elevational gradients. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 12, 2019 The mycobiota characteristics such as species composition, contribution of major groupings to mycobiota structure, diversity level, and isolate density showed significant correlations with measured edaphic parameters-organic matter content, water content, pH, and especially, with electrical conductivity. Among the environmental aspects, locality position along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients accompanied by locality type (open sun-exposed or under shrubs), strongly influenced the community's characteristics, thus demonstrating the effect of the unique altitudinal position of the northern part of the Arava Valley as well as the ability of microfungal communities to be sensitive to the microscale environmental variability.
