The consensus on atopic dermatitis (AD) recommends moisturizers and emollients as the cornerstone of care, with topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) as first-line options, and cyclosporin preferred for systemic treatment. Alternatives for severe cases include phototherapy, adjuvant therapy, apremilast, and off-label biologics.

Elevated serum total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) levels were linked to reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher risk of osteoporosis. The study found that a 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in T-ALP raised osteoporosis prevalence by 0.5% and mortality by 0.4%, particularly in patients with osteoporosis. This highlighted the potential of T-ALP as an early biomarker for osteoporosis detection and prognosis.

A large study of over 2.4 million individuals with type 2 diabetes found that heavy alcohol consumption increased the risk of developing tuberculosis (TB), with a hazard ratio (aHR) of 1.21. Mild-to-moderate alcohol consumption was linked to lower TB risk (aHR 0.92). The risk significantly increased for alcohol intake of 20 g/day or more, with current smokers at an even higher risk, revealing a J-shaped curve.

Over 52% of adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) developed at least one comorbidity, with allergic rhinitis, food allergies, & asthma being the most common, found a study. A family history of allergic rhinitis or sinusitis increased the risk of comorbidities (OR 3.60), while elevated IgE levels showed a protective role. Additionally, familial atopy scores were positively associated with comorbidity development.

A three-year study revealed a strong link between circadian syndrome and gallstones, with patients showing a 117% higher risk of developing gallstones. The risk was notably higher in non-smokers, suggesting lifestyle factors may play a role. Despite this, the number of circadian syndrome components did not significantly affect the risk, underscoring the role of circadian health in preventing gallstones.
