Article Abstract

This critical review of studies on Behçet's syndrome published during 2022 includes studies on epidemiology, patients' perspective, pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical features and management. Studies on pathogenesis included potential biomarkers mostly related to macrophages, neutrophil and cytokine balance, new GWAS and polymorphism studies, and studies on miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs. Clinical studies showed that application of pneumococcal vaccine to the prick site increased the sensitivity and specificity of the pathergy test and the prevalence of AA amyloidosis had decreased over the years. Studies on management indicated that more data are needed to understand the effect of apremilast on BS manifestations other than oral ulcers, and new BS manifestations may develop during treatment with infliximab. Other biologics and Jak inhibitors might be an option for patients who are refractory to TNF-α inhibitors. Moreover, endovascular repair of arterial aneurysms might be an alternative to open surgery.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a chronic vasculopathy characterized by progressive stenosis of intracerebral arteries, leading to an increased risk of stroke. Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at an increased risk of co-occurring medical conditions, including MMS and leukemia. We report four patients with the triad of DS, MMS, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Background: In hyponatremic patients, concurrent dialysate flow during hemodialysis may be an ideal option to mitigate complications such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).

Methods: Present randomized controlled trial enrolled dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with serum sodium levels < 125 mEq/L during January 2020 over 16 months. Hemodynamically unstable patients, as well as those with a history of seizures and neurological conditions, were excluded.

Estimation of salivary protectin D1 in periodontitis patients with metabolic syndrome following non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Clin Oral Investig

September 2025

Department of Periodontics, Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technology Sciences, SIMATS, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Objectives: This study aims to assess periodontal and biochemical parameters and evaluate the salivary Protectin D1 levels in periodontitis patients with and without metabolic syndrome after non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients were categorized into two groups: 20 patients in Group P (systemically healthy patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis) and 20 patients in Group P+MS (patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis and metabolic syndrome). Parameters including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, socio-economic status, oral hygiene index (OHI), modified gingival index (MGI), probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels, fasting blood glucose, HDL-c, total triglycerides, and blood pressure were recorded.
