Psychiatric disorders in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases: prevalence, association with disease activity, and overall patient well-being.

چکیده
There has been much speculation on the importance of emotional factors in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID); it is only in the past 10 years that well designed, large-cohort studies have been able to clarify this relationship. This article provides an overview of evidence on the occurrence of depression and anxiety in IMID, and the role of these comorbidities as risk factors for onset of IMID, as well as the degree to which they affect the course of disease and treatment outcomes.

Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is a common cause of anemia in dogs. The immune aggression towards erythrocytes can be triggered by many pathological conditions such as infection, inflammatory disease or neoplasia.

Bilirubin belongs to a phylogenetically old superfamily of tetrapyrrolic compounds. Although for decades bilirubin was believed to be only a waste product of the heme catabolic pathway and a potentially toxic compound; recent data has convincingly demonstrated that mildly elevated serum bilirubin levels are strongly associated with a lower prevalence of oxidative stress-mediated diseases, such ...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...
