Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids01:21

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

238
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

450
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

888
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

750
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

73
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Summary

Systemic corticosteroids did not reduce hospital length of stay for pediatric orbital cellulitis. Corticosteroid use was linked to increased operative episodes and readmissions, suggesting caution before routine implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Ophthalmology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Acute orbital cellulitis in children typically requires systemic antibiotics.
  • Emerging evidence suggests systemic corticosteroids may improve outcomes and shorten hospital stays.
  • Further investigation is needed to confirm the benefits of corticosteroids in pediatric orbital cellulitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between corticosteroid exposure and hospital length of stay (LOS) in children hospitalized for orbital cellulitis.
  • To examine secondary outcomes including surgical interventions, PICU admissions, and 30-day readmissions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study using Pediatric Health Information System registry data (2007-2018).
  • Included 5645 children under 18 hospitalized for orbital cellulitis.
  • Analyzed hospital LOS, surgical interventions, PICU admission, and 30-day readmission based on corticosteroid use.

Main Results:

  • Corticosteroid use (24% of patients) was not associated with reduced hospital LOS after adjusting for clinical factors.
  • Corticosteroid exposure was associated with increased operative episodes beyond 2 days (OR=2.05) and 30-day readmissions (OR=2.40).

Conclusions:

  • This study did not find evidence that corticosteroids shorten hospital LOS for pediatric orbital cellulitis.
  • Corticosteroid use was linked to higher rates of subsequent surgery and readmission.
  • Prospective, randomized controlled trials are recommended before widespread adoption of corticosteroids for this condition.
