Article Abstract

Safety concerns associated with topical corticosteroids (TCS) have been increasingly recognized and well documented in medical literature for many decades. In response, advanced targeted topical (ATT) therapies have emerged as safer, effective alternatives for managing chronic inflammatory skin diseases. In this review, a group of experienced dermatology nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants/associates (PAs) summarize key consensus statements from a 2025 physician-expert-panel literature review and consensus statement publication addressing the safety and efficacy of TCS and the role of ATT therapies for chronic inflammatory skin diseases. It highlights practical recommendations for incorporating ATT therapies into clinical practice and emphasizes the vital role of NPs and PAs in monitoring cumulative corticosteroid exposure to minimize the risk of both cutaneous and systemic adverse effects associated with TCS use.

Clonal hematopoiesis, originally identified as a precursor to hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a significant factor in various nonmalignant diseases. Recent research highlights how somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the expansion of circulating mutated immune cells that exert profound effects on organ function and disease progression. These mutated clones display altered inflammatory profiles and tissue-specific functional consequences, contributing to various diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, heart failure, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease, with a heterogeneous clinical course, which can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. Data on the natural history of CD in developing countries are rare.

Objective: to delineate the clinical, epidemiological, and longitudinal characteristics of CD patients at a Brazilian referral center.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reactive intermediates, such as methylglyoxal, are formed during thermal processing of foods and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a series of chronic inflammatory diseases. AGEs are thought to directly interact with the intestinal epithelium upon ingestion of thermally processed foods, but their effects on intestinal epithelial cells are poorly understood. This study investigated transcriptomic changes in human intestinal epithelial FHs 74 Int cells after exposure to AGE-modified human serum proteins (AGE-HS), S100A12, a known RAGE ligand, and unmodified human serum proteins (HS).

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting axial joints, is frequently complicated by uveitis. However, the molecular mechanisms linking AS to secondary uveitis remain poorly understood.

Methods: We integrated transcriptomic datasets from AS (GSE73754) and uveitis (GSE194060) cohorts to identify shared molecular pathways.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The role of lifestyle on AD remains unclear. This study explores the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), physical activity (PA) levels, and AD severity.
