Insights into hidradenitis suppurativa

Kelsey R. van Straalen et al.

Summary: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder that affects around 1% of the population and significantly impacts patients' quality of life. It is characterized by inflammatory lesions such as nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts in areas like the armpits, groin, and buttocks, typically appearing during or after puberty. The development and maintenance of the disease involve a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, hormonal factors, obesity, and smoking. It is believed to stem from a defect in the hair follicle, leading to follicular plugging, cyst formation, and subsequent acute inflammation. Over time, acute lesions progress to a chronic condition with draining sinus tracts and extensive fibrosis. Hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, and psychiatric comorbidities.

New treatments and new assessment instruments for Hidradenitis suppurativa

Kelsey R. van Straalen et al.

Summary: Research interest in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) has grown rapidly, and several new scores and tools are being developed to address the limitations of current assessment methods. These new measures have the potential to become the primary outcome measures in HS clinical trials and practice.

Lectin and alternative complement pathway activation in cutaneous manifestations of IgA-vasculitis: A new target for therapy?

Jeffrey Damman et al.

Summary: The study found activation of lectin and alternative pathways in cutaneous manifestations of IgA vasculitis, indicating a potential link with the development of IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and suggesting targeted interventions.

Avacopan for the Treatment of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

David R. W. Jayne et al.

Summary: In this study, the C5a receptor inhibitor avacopan was found to be noninferior to prednisone taper in achieving remission at week 26, but superior in achieving sustained remission at week 52 in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. All patients received cyclophosphamide or rituximab. The safety and clinical effects of avacopan beyond 52 weeks were not addressed in the trial.

Deposition of the Membrane Attack Complex in Healthy and Diseased Human Kidneys

Jacob J. E. Koopman et al.

Summary: The membrane attack complex C5b-9, a key factor in the complement pathways, is implicated in various kidney diseases by causing cellular injury and inflammation. Understanding the deposition of C5b-9 in the kidney is crucial for predicting treatment outcomes and developing novel therapies targeting its formation.
