Abstract
Biologic therapies targeting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept), the p40 subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23 (ustekinumab), the p19 subunit of IL-23 (guselkumab, tildrakizumab, risankizumab), IL-17A (secukinumab, ixekizumab), IL-17-RA (brodalumab) and both IL-17A and IL-17F (bimekizumab) have revolutionized the treatment of psoriasis. In both the short and long term, risankizumab had highest Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90 scores compared to other oral and injectable biologics. IL-23 inhibitors had lowest rates of short-term and long-term adverse events and most favorable long-term risk-benefit profile compared to IL-17, IL-12/23, and TNF-α inhibitors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2022, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first biologics, intravenous spesolimab, for acute flare of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). The drug works by blocking IL-36 signaling, the key pathway of GPP. Among the known mutations causing GPP, IL36RN mutations are most common, and the presence of IL36RN mutations had been found to affect the clinical manifestations and treatment response of GPP. AREAS COVERED Literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant studies discussing biologic treatment for GPP with special emphasis on larger studies, pediatric group, pregnant women, and the influence of IL36RN mutation on the effectiveness of biologics. EXPERT OPINION The approval of spesolimab for GPP flare treatment marks a new era. However, whether spesolimab will be placed as the treatment of choice remains unknown, considering its higher cost, lack of direct comparison with existing biologics, and uncertain effects on co-existing plaque-type psoriasis. However, the demonstration of numerically better efficacy for patients carrying pathogenic IL36RN mutations suggests the role of pharmacogenetics in the choices of GPP treatment. Future randomized studies are warranted to investigate the effectiveness and safety of biologics for GPP in pediatric and pregnant groups.

Multiple Sclerosis Risk Among Anti-tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Users: A Methodological Review of Observational Studies Based on Real-world Data. Curr Drug Saf 2024; 19:200-207. [PMID: 37496244 DOI: 10.2174/1574886318666230726162245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
Epidemiologic studies on the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) or demyelinating events associated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) use among patients with rheumatic diseases or inflammatory bowel diseases have shown conflicting results. Causal directed acyclic graphs (cDAGs) are useful tools for understanding the differing results and identifying the structure of potential contributing biases. Most of the available literature on cDAGs uses language that might be unfamiliar to clinicians. This article demonstrates how cDAGs can be used to determine whether there is a confounder, a mediator or collider-stratification bias and when to adjust for them appropriately. We also use a case study to show how to control for potential biases by drawing a cDAG depicting anti-TNFα use and its potential to contribute to MS onset. Finally, we describe potential biases that might have led to contradictory results in previous studies that examined the effect of anti-TNFα and MS, including confounding, confounding by contraindication, and bias due to measurement error. Clinicians and researchers should be cognizant of confounding, confounding by contraindication, and bias due to measurement error when reviewing future studies on the risk of MS or demyelinating events associated with anti-TNFα use. cDAGs are a useful tool for selecting variables and identifying the structure of different biases that can affect the validity of observational studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to highlight a clinical-anatomical approach to localizing neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of associated autoimmune disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Our understanding of autoimmune conditions has changed considerably over recent years, particularly with the emergence of novel autoantibodies. Cardinal neuro-ophthalmic signs and symptoms of antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders have been well characterized; knowledge thereof may be the first step towards an accurate diagnosis. SUMMARY A thorough history, further refined by a comprehensive examination are cornerstones to disease localization in clinical medicine. Taken together, these essential steps both guide investigations and facilitate early recognition of autoimmune disorders. From a neuro-ophthalmic perspective, it is important to understand heralding signs and symptoms of autoimmune syndromes, avoid cognitive errors, and remain mindful of common diagnostic pitfalls to optimize care.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) and Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are the two most predominant types of childhood vasculitis. In childhood vasculitis, factors such as lack of sensitive diagnostic indicators and adverse effects of drug therapy may cause multiorgan system involvement and complications and even death. Many studies suggest that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the mechanism of vasculitis development in children and can be used to diagnose or predict prognosis by lncRNAs. In existing drug therapies, lncRNAs are also involved in drug-mediated treatment mechanisms and are expected to improve drug toxicity. The aim of this review is to summarize the link between lncRNAs and the pathogenesis of KD and HSP. In addition, we review the potential applications of lncRNAs in multiple dimensions, such as diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction. This review highlights that targeting lncRNAs may be a novel therapeutic strategy to improve and treat KD and HSP.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence has demonstrated an intricate association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and neurodegenerative conditions, expanding beyond previous foci of comorbidities between IBD and mood disorders. These new discoveries stem from an improved understanding of the gut-microbiome-brain axis: specifically, the ability of the intestinal microbiota to modulate inflammation and regulate neuromodulatory compounds. Clinical retrospective studies incorporating large sample sizes and population-based cohorts have demonstrated and confirmed the relevance of IBD and chronic neurodegeneration in clinical medicine. In this review, we expound upon the current knowledge on the gut-microbiome-brain axis, highlighting several plausible mechanisms linking IBD with neurodegeneration. We also summarize the known associations between IBD with Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia and ischemic stroke, and multiple sclerosis in a clinical context. Finally, we discuss the implications of an improved understanding of the gut-microbiome-brain axis in preventing, diagnosing, and managing neurodegeneration among IBD and non-IBD patients.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases display a high degree of comorbidity within individuals and families, suggesting shared risk factors. Over the past 15 years, genome-wide association studies have established the polygenic basis of these common conditions and revealed widespread sharing of genetic effects, indicative of a shared immunopathology. Despite ongoing challenges in determining the precise genes and molecular consequences of these risk variants, functional experiments and integration with multimodal genomic data are providing valuable insights into key immune cells and pathways driving these diseases, with potential therapeutic implications. Moreover, genetic studies of ancient populations are shedding light on the contribution of pathogen-driven selection pressures to the increased prevalence of autoimmune disease. This Review summarizes the current understanding of autoimmune disease genetics, including shared effects, mechanisms, and evolutionary origins.
