COGAN'S SYNDROME
Objectives:
The objective of our study was to review the current knowledge on Cogan's syndrome, including etiology, diagnosis and treatment. Systematic review methodology: Relevant publications on Cogan's syndrome from 1945 to 2014 were studied.
Conclusions:
Cogan's syndrome is a rare autoimmune vasculitis, with unknown pathogenesis. Infection was thought to have played a role in the pathogenesis of the disease, but now the autoimmunity hypothesis is considered more likely to be true. Cogan's syndrome is characterized by ocular and audiovestibular symptoms similar to those of Meniere's syndrome. Approximately 70% of the patients have systemic disease, of which vasculitis is considered the pathological mechanism. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment; multiple immunosuppressive drugs were also used with varying degrees of success. The novelty in the treatment of the disease is tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-blockers, but more studies are necessary to establish their efficacy.

The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
