Article Abstract

Safe and effective pain treatment for patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) often poses a challenge in clinical practice. The widespread use of painkillers can lead to drug-induced liver injury. CLD can alter drug response by affecting drug-metabolizing enzymes and half-life, thereby impacting the strength and safety of drug use. This study reviews the safety and hepatotoxicity of selected analgesics in CLD. Paracetamol is the safest drug when used in standard doses. Metamizole is not contraindicated for short-term treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided due to their significant hepatotoxic potential. Tramadol is not recommended for cirrhosis due to its unpredictable effects. Codeine should also be avoided. Proper management includes the selection of drugs based on factors such as the type and severity of pain, duration of treatment, patient sensitivity, drug interactions, stage of liver disease, and the presence of other conditions. Patients should be closely monitored for adverse effects.

IGLV3-21-directed bispecific antibodies activate T cells and promote killing in a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

We previously used a disease-specific B cell receptor (BCR) point mutation (IGLV3-21R110) for selective targeting of a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Since CLL is a disease of the elderly and a significant fraction of patients is not able to physically tolerate CAR T cell treatment, we explored bispecific antibodies as an alternative for precision targeting of this tumor mutation. Heterodimeric IgG1-based antibodies consisting of a fragment crystallizable region (Fc) attached to both an anti-IGLV3-21R110 Fab and an anti-CD3 (UCHT1) single chain variable fragment (R110-bsAb) selectively killed cell lines engineered to express high levels of the neoepitope as well as primary CLL cells using healthy donor and CLL patient-derived T cells as effectors.

Aims: Chronic ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are leading causes of vision loss in older adults. While sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are widely prescribed in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their effects on ocular disease risk remain largely unknown.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between SGLT2i use and the risk of AMD and other age-related ocular conditions in adults aged ≥60 with T2DM, using a target trial emulation framework based on the TriNetX global health research network (2013-2025).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are pathologies that may remain silent for a long time and thus are largely underdiagnosed in clinical practice. The use of biomarkers may help detect people already suffering from these diseases at an early stage or at increased risk to develop them in a near future. The aim of this article is to discuss the place of the assays of albuminuria, natriuretic peptide (BNP/proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin as well as lipoprotein(a) to help in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of individuals at risk of presenting or developing a CKD, HF or ASCVD.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disease that leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells and thus requires lifelong insulin therapy. Constraints and adverse events associated to insulin therapy are well known as well as the risk of long-term complications linked to chronic hyperglycaemia. Symptomatic T1D is preceded by a preclinical asymptomatic period, which is characterized by the presence of at least two auto-antibodies against beta cell without disturbances of blood glucose control (stage 1) or, in addition to immunological biomarkers, by the presence of mild dysglycaemia reflecting a defect of early insulin secretion (stage 2).

Severe emphysema impairs lung function and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Despite optimized medical treatment and rehabilitation, some patients require lung volume reduction interventions (endoscopic or surgical). This study evaluates one-year outcomes of patients managed at the Emphysema Clinic of CHU Liège.
