Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder of the skin that is characterized by circumscribed, depigmented macules and patches. The condition is frequently associated with disorders of autoimmune origin, with thyroid abnormalities being the most common. Initial lesions occur most frequently on the hands, forearms, feet, and face, favoring a perioral and periocular distribution. The lesions […]
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is showing potential therapeutic effects on liver function improvement in patients with chronic liver disease and acute chronic liver disease (ACLD). These diseases are mainly caused by alcoholic cirrhosis , high fat blood levels, autoimmune disease or a viral infection, among others. Clinical studies have found that allogeneic BM-MSCs are […]
Gout and pseudogout are the 2 most common crystal-induced arthropathies. Gout is caused by monosodium urate monohydrate crystals; pseudogout is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals. There is evidence that gout and heart disease are mechanistically linked by inflammation and patients with gout are at elevated risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Risk for myocardial infarction (MI) […]
Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is an advanced peripheral nerve injury that results in paralysis of the upper extremities.
