Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease that cause limitation in the airflow and chronic inflammation. Erdosteine has been proposed as a potential therapeutic option for COPD management, based on its antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of erdosteine in COPD patients. Multiple databases have been involved in the literature study following PRISMA guidelines, identifying randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared erdosteine with placebo. A total of seven studies were included in the qualitative analysis, and nine were analyzed quantitatively. Meta-analysis results indicated that erdosteine significantly improved forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 8-isoprostan levels, and lowered interleukin-8 (IL-8) concentrations. Subgroup analyses demonstrated greater benefits in patients with moderate to severe COPD (stage II/III). Safety analysis revealed that erdosteine was generally well-tolerated, with only mild adverse effects reported. However, study limitations included high heterogeneity and potential bias in some trials. Overall, the findings suggest that erdosteine is an effective and safe adjunct therapy for COPD.

Abstract

Background: Primary Sjögren syndrome is chronic systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands, most commonly presenting with dryness of the mouth and eyes. This case is very rare, which the antibody in the Sjogren's syndrome case concerns platelets. Objective: This case report emphasizes the occurrence of epistaxis in Sjögren Syndrome. Case Presentation: This case describes a 30-year-old male presenting with recurrent epistaxis as the initial clinical manifestation. Further clinical evaluation revealed hypertensive crisis and dryness in the mouth and nasal mucosa. The clinical presentation raised suspicion of an underlying autoimmune condition, prompting further testing, which confirmed the presence of anti -Sjögren’s syndrome type B (SSB) antibodies on an antinuclear antibody (ANA) profile.  Result: The criteria for Sjogren's syndrome are based on the criteria if eye and mouth symptoms, eye and mouth clinical signs, and one of autoantibodies are found Anti-Ro (SSA), Anti-La (SSB), Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Rheumatoid factor (RF). From this case has found symptoms of mouth and antibodies SSB. Conclusion: This case highlights that epistaxis can be caused by autoimmune cases, for epistaxis it is better to do screening for autoimmune examination test, emphasizing the need for further research to elucidate the diverse clinical manifestation, progression and prognosis factor.

Abstract

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by the clonal proliferation of immature myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow and peripheral circulation. Hematologic manifestations such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis are welldocumented, its association with oral involvement, particularly tonsillitis, is a rare presenting feature. Objective: This case report emphasizes membranous tonsilitis as the primary presenting feature in acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5). The aim of writing this case study is to provide an illustration that the causes of membranous tonsillitis, beside from the infection, can also be caused by infiltration of leukemia cells. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 27-year-old female presented with fever and was found to have a fluctuating mass on the right side of the neck along with gingival swelling and hyperemic, hypertrophic tonsils with a membranous exudate. The diagnosis from bone marrow aspiration and immunophenotyping revealed as acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5). Bacterial and fungal infections were excluded through gram staining, potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination, and throat swab culture. The patient was initially stabilized with hydroxyurea, with subsequent clinical improvement, before being referred to a tertiary center for definitive management. Result: This diagnostic workup altogether from all the clinicians leads to the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M5). Conclusion: This case highlights primary tonsilitis as the primary presenting feature of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M5), emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and regular follow-up assessment to detect potential relapses and ensure optimal disease management
