Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Summary

Behçet's disease (BD) flares are less common during pregnancy, especially when treated with colchicine. Pregnancy in women with BD does not increase the risk of pregnancy complications, with no impact on neonatal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder.
  • The impact of pregnancy on BD disease activity and pregnancy outcomes requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interplay between Behçet's disease and pregnancy.
  • To assess BD flare incidence during pregnancy compared to non-pregnant periods.
  • To identify factors associated with pregnancy complications in BD patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 76 pregnancies in 46 patients with BD.
  • Patients served as their own historical controls to compare BD flare rates.
  • Analysis of factors influencing pregnancy complications.

Main Results:

  • BD flares occurred less frequently during pregnancy (35.5%) compared to non-obstetric periods.
  • Oral/genital ulcerations and ocular complications were most common during flares.
  • Pregnancy complications occurred in 15.8% of pregnancies; deep vein thrombosis history increased obstetric complication risk.
  • Colchicine treatment showed a trend towards lower flare rates.
  • BD did not affect gestational age at delivery or neonatal outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Behçet's disease activity may decrease during pregnancy, particularly with colchicine treatment.
  • Pregnancy in women with BD is not associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related complications.
  • Neonatal outcomes are not adversely affected by BD.
