Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Review of the Pathogenesis and Treatment
Abstract:
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by significant morbidity. The clinical course of HS ranges from relatively mild cases characterized by recurrent tender, subcutaneous, inflammatory nodules to severe cases demonstrating painful, deep dermal abscesses, fibrosis, draining sinuses, and hypertrophic scars. Conventional treatment options for management of HS include topical and systemic antibiotics, antiandrogens, fumarates, biguanides, retinoids, immunosuppressive drugs, laser and phototherapy, and surgical excision. Given its association with pro-inflammatory cytokines, there has been interest in the use of novel biological agents. Recently, available treatment options have expanded to include tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNF-ai), interleukin-1 inhibitors (IL-1i), and interleukin-12/23 inhibitors (IL-12/23i), but the management of HS is still very challenging. In this review, the authors will discuss new therapies for HS.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
