Biological Treatments in Behçet's Disease: Beyond Anti-TNF Therapy
Behçet's disease (BD) is universally recognized as a multisystemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology with chronic course and unpredictable exacerbations: its clinical spectrum varies from pure vasculitic manifestations with thrombotic complications to protean inflammatory involvement of multiple organs and tissues.

I present several of these less as absolutes than as stimulants for discussion, as I wish to make use of the expertise at this conference for furthering our collective understanding of how anti-TNF agents might best be used.
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis: Biological therapy other than anti-TNF.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases and is characterized by synovitis that causes joint damage. The introduction of biologic agents has made it possible to induce remission in many patients and inhibit joint damage. Activated T cells in RA patients proliferate and stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and...
متن کاملBoth anti-TNF and CTLA4 Ig treatments attenuate the disease severity of staphylococcal dermatitis in mice
BACKGROUND RA patients being treated with biologics are known to have an increased risk of infections. We recently demonstrated that both CTLA4 Ig and anti-TNF treatment aggravate systemic Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection in mice, but with distinct clinical manifestations. However, the effects of CTLA4 Ig and anti-TNF treatments on a local S. aureus infection (e.g., skin infection) m...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF MERCURY EXPOSURE IN DENTISTS OF TEHRAN
In order to assess the risk for mercury poisoning in dentists, urine specimens were collected and analysed from 250 dentists (190 male, 60 female). Subject data and pertinent health symptoms were asked via a questionnaire. The results indicate that the mean and standard deviation of mercury values were 51.3± 38.0 µg/L, while 27.2 percent of dentists had levels within normal limits (0-19 µg/...
