This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This review discusses the potential of repeated low-level red-light therapy to inhibit myopia progression through metabolic effects, highlighting its molecular and cellular impact, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that thalidomide increased peripheral lymphocyte counts and reduced inflammation in lupus erythematosus patients, but was associated with polyneuropathy, suggesting careful use in refractory cases.

This case report highlights the importance of trans-esophageal echocardiography in distinguishing Libman-Sacks endocarditis from infective endocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, guiding appropriate treatment for associated cerebrovascular disease.

This case report highlights that Tjalma Syndrome may present as a main symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus and should be considered in patients with ascites, pleural effusions, and elevated CA-125 levels.

This study found that celery supplementation improved cognition and behavioral disorders in LPS-exposed mouse offspring by increasing levels of dopamine, acetylcholinesterase, and serotonin in the forebrain.

This report describes the clinical presentation of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome in two brothers and reviews the related literature, without providing new clinical outcomes.
