Cutaneous involvement in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin′s nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma characterized by general lymphadenopathy, night sweats, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and cutaneous involvement. We present a rare case of AITL cutaneous involvement mimicking toxic erythema recurring with AITL relapse and suggesting a precursor of disease progression

Investigating the Link between Psoriasis and Cardiovascular Disease: Current Evidence, Therapeutic Implications and Perspectives

Psoriasis; a chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by symmetric hyperkeratotic plaques affecting any part of the body. Psoriasis is nowadays considered as a systemic inflammation linked with several comorbidities as metabolic syndrome, depression, anxiety and increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) disease. The hypothesis that psoriasis is an independent CV risk factor leading to atherosclerosis via inflammation is now widely accepted. Deciphering the underlying mechanisms interconnecting psoriasis and CV disease may have significant implications in treatment decisions. Accumulating evidence suggests that systematic therapies and recently introduced biologic agents, that control psoriasis by suppressing the chronic and systemic inflammation, may alter the progression of CV disease. We herein attempt a review of current evidence analysing the relationship between psoriasis and CV comorbidities, comment on the mechanisms underlying this association and investigate the consequences for the management of psoriasis

Lower circulating omentin-1 is independently linked to subclinical hypothyroidism reflecting cardiometabolic risk: an observational case-control and interventional, longitudinal study

Omentin-1, a newly discovered adipokine, is implicated in the modulation of the adipose phenotype, ameliorating systemic metabolism and exhibiting anti-atherogenic, antioxidative, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties. Our goal was to explore circulating omentin-1 in subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and determine its correlations with cardiometabolic risk factors
