Intravenous γ Globulin for Intractable Abdominal Pain due to IgA Vasculitis by George Naifa, George Totikidis, Sonia Alexiadou, Christina Kolona, Elpis Mantadakis

“…We present two children with IgA vasculitis and severe abdominal pain despite corticosteroid administration, who responded promptly to intravenous γ globulin (IVIg) with complete resolution of their symptoms and review of the relevant medical literature. Given the toxicity and/or need for long-term administration of other second-line immunosuppressive therapies in corticosteroid-resistant IgA vasculitis, such as rituximab, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, or colchicine, we propose that IVIg may be a useful and safe treatment option, although randomized controlled clinical trials are needed in order to clarify its role in the treatment of abdominal pain in IgA vasculitis.…”

Self-assembled nanoparticles in ocular delivery: a comprehensive review by Shanmugam Saraswathi Tenpattinam, Sarad Pawar Naik Bukke, Praveen Kumar Kusuma, Hope Onohuean, Mohan Mothilal, Umasankar Krishnamaraju, Narayana Goruntla, Tadele Mekuriya Yadesa

“…Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant-based vesicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs and are similar to liposomes but are more stable, less toxic, and easier to produce. Niosomes can also be surface-modified with ligands (e.g., antibodies, peptides) to target specific ocular tissues or cells and hence can improve drug penetration through the corneal and conjunctival barriers. …”
