Abstract

The article discusses a study on the risk of ocular manifestations and complications in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly focusing on the association between SLE and incident glaucoma. The findings suggest that patients with SLE have a higher risk of glaucoma, even after adjusting for various factors, indicating potential immune processes in glaucoma pathogenesis. The study highlights the need for further research to address potential confounders, healthcare utilization factors, severity-dependent associations, and different glaucoma subtypes to enhance understanding and guide appropriate treatment for patients with SLE.

Abstract

A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology examined the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the risk of inflammatory skin diseases in patients with diabetes. The study found that patients who initiated SGLT2i had a significantly reduced risk of developing acne vulgaris, rosacea, and urticaria. After propensity score matching, a lower risk of vitiligo, acne vulgaris, and rosacea was observed in SGLT2i initiators. The study suggests that SGLT2i may have a protective effect against inflammatory skin diseases in patients with diabetes, although further research is needed to validate these findings.

Abstract

Background: To determine the bidirectional link between periodontitis and fibromyalgia.Methods: In this cohort study, 196,428 periodontitis patients and 196,428 propensity score-matched non-periodontitis controls were enrolled. A Cox proportional hazard model was utilized to estimate the risk of fibromyalgia and survival analysis was adopted to assess the time-dependent effect of periodontitis on fibromyalgia. Subgroup analyses stratified by age, sex, and tracking period were conducted to identify susceptible populations. A parallel and symmetrical cohort that recruited 141,439 fibromyalgia patients and 141,439 propensity score-matched non-fibromyalgia controls ascertained the inverse effect of fibromyalgia on incident periodontitis.Results: Patients with periodontitis were more likely to develop fibromyalgia than non-periodontitis controls (HR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.39-1.44, P < 0.001), which persisted in the survival analysis (log-rank test P < 0.0001). This effect was significant in both sexes and all age subgroups, and was particularly evident in males (HR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.48-1.56, P < 0.001) and younger periodontitis patients (HR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.50-1.60, P < 0.001). Fibromyalgia patients who never had periodontitis presented with greater risk for periodontitis over time (HR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.40 - 1.45, P < 0.001; log-rank test P < 0.0001).Conclusions: Patients of both sexes and all age subgroups with periodontitis presented with a greater risk of fibromyalgia. Subgroups that were the most susceptible to periodontitis-associated fibromyalgia were periodontitis patients that were males and below 30 years old. Risks of periodontitis were also greater in fibromyalgia patients who never had periodontitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: The exposure to amalgam restorations has been reported to bring about altered immunity followed by inflammation and infection. Aims: This study aimed at identifying whether patients who received restorative or endodontic treatments, or tooth extraction, would have altered odds of developing oral lichen planus (OLP). Material and methods: In this population‐based nested case–control study, 421 cases of OLP and 1,684 controls were included after propensity score matching. Logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of OLP in individuals who had received amalgam and composite resin restorations, root canal therapy, and tooth extraction over a follow‐up duration of five years. Results: There were no significantly different odds of OLP for those who underwent either amalgam (aOR = 0.948, 95% CI = 0.853–1.053, p = 0.3170) or resin restorations (aOR = 1.007, 95% CI = 0.978–1.037, p = 0.6557) in both anterior and posterior teeth in an observational period of five years after restorations. Root canal therapy was associated with significantly lower odds of OLP, with each additional root canal therapy attenuating the risk of OLP at an aOR of 0.771 (95% CI = 0.680–0.874, p = 0.0001) for both anterior (aOR = 0.786, 95% CI = 0.626–0.986, p = 0.0372) and posterior teeth (aOR = 0.762, 95% CI = 0.650–0.893, p = 0.0008). Likewise, each tooth extraction reduced the risk of OLP, with an aOR of 0.846 (95% CI = 0.772–0.927, p = 0.0003), especially for anterior teeth (aOR = 0.733, 95% CI = 0.595–0.904, p = 0.0037). Conclusions: We reported no significant association between dental restorations and consequent OLP, and significantly lower odds of OLP following both root canal therapy and tooth extraction.

Abstract

Our result also raises the issue that it is necessary that future studies evaluating the HS-thyroid association should separate different thyroid diseases to provide further information for the reference of future guidelines for HS comorbidity screening. Study region was not limited gl Previous systematic reviews had discussed the association between HS and thyroid diseases,[6] and all thyroid-related diseases were pooled in the qualitative synthesis. The recommendation for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) comorbidity screening did not suggest thyroid diseases for screening due to insufficient evidence.[1] While considering thyroid diseases as HS comorbidity, different thyroid diseases were often pooled together due to the classification of administrative codes as "thyroid disorder" (ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E07.9).
