Genetics of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Understanding and Future Directions by P. K. Chandra Sekar, R. Veerabathiran

“…These genetic variants, integral to IBD's etiology of IBD, have functional significance because they perturb immune regulation, compromise epithelial barrier integrity, and disrupt mucosal homeostasis, collectively contributing to intestinal inflammation through diverse mechanisms. Early detection of IBD is paramount for arresting disease progression and underscoring the importance of prognostic testing and genetic screening, especially in cases with familial predispositions or very early onset IBD. …”

Investigation of the association between circulating inflammatory proteins and encephalitis risk in Europeans by two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis by Yanwei Liu, Xilong Wang, Qiang Zhao, Jun Wei, Shiqiang Yang

“…BackgroundCytokines are powerful immune response factors that operate at inflammation sites and are also found in the blood. Nevertheless, research on encephalitis and these circulating inflammatory proteins is quite limited.MethodsThis study investigated the potential causal effects of 91 circulating inflammatory proteins on three different types of encephalitis using a two-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis. …”

Association between exposure in the cement production industry and non-malignant respiratory effects: a systematic review by Anne Kristin Møller Fell, Karl Christian Nordby

“…A dose–response relationship between exposure and decline in lung function has only been shown in 1 cohort. 2 studies have detected small increases in FeNO levels during a work shift; 1 study reported signs of airway inflammation in induced sputum, whereas another did not detect an increase in hospitalisation rates.Conclusions Lack of power, adjustment for possible confounders and other methodological issues are limitations of many of the included studies. …”

Intrastromal autologous implantation of adipose derived adult stem cells for the management of established corneal scars by Jorge L. Alio del Barrio, Alberto Parafita-Fernandez, Daniel Gomez Plaza, Maria Eugenia Fernandez, Jorge L. Alio

“…Observations: ADASC were isolated by elective liposuction, and a solution composed of 3x106 ADASC contained in 1mL saline was used to soak a corneal intrastromal pocket created with femtosecond laser at mid-depth. No signs of inflammation or rejection were observed. One year after surgery, we observed a complete restoration of the pre-existing corneal stroma scars, observed both clinically and by anterior segment OCT. …”
