Biologic and Targeted Synthetic DMARDs may Improve Work Productivity in Psoriatic Arthritis: Study

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) not only affects joint health but also significantly impacts work productivity and leisure activities. Previous studies have highlighted the substantial burden of PsA on patients’ ability to work and engage in daily activities. PsA is associated with reduced health-related quality of life and various comorbidities, leading to impaired social participation and functional […]

High-sensitivity CRP and monocyte to HDL ratio associated with Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk: BMC study

A recent study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine explored the intricate relationship between monocytic inflammation, C-reactive protein (CRP) and the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The investigation looked into the association between systemic inflammation that assessed by joint cumulative high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CumCRP), monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (CumMHR)and the incidence of […]

Botulinum toxin useful therapeutic option to improve cutaneous flushing, finds study

Cutaneous flushing is a common dermatologic concern often resistant to conventional treatments.Oral medication or light-based therapies including laser or intense pulsed therapy may not be effective in some cases of persistent erythema and flushing.
