Selexipag Therapy Effective For Pulmonary Hypertension Patients Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with connective tissue disease (PAH-CTD) presents a significant clinical challenge, with affected patients often experiencing worse outcomes than those with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Although earlier short-term studies suggested a limited response to PAH-specific therapies in PAH-CTD patients, recent
Periodontitis Patients Likely To Suffer From Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
Periodontitis Patients Likely To Suffer From Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment In recent years, research has increasingly confirmed a robust epidemiological link between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with studies since 2017 reinforcing this connection. However, questions remain regarding the reciprocal effects of treating either condition and the underlying biological mechanisms. This review
Myasthenia Gravis Therapeutic Benefits Of Monotherapy With Tacrolimus
Myasthenia Gravis Therapeutic Benefits Of Monotherapy With Tacrolimus Overview In the management of mild to moderate myasthenia gravis (MG), the utilization of tacrolimus is typically reserved for cases that do not respond to glucocorticoids. This study sought to assess the potential advantages of mono-tacrolimus over mono-glucocorticoids in treating MG patients. The primary endpoint
