Use of Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy for Small Fiber Neuropathy: A Systematic Review of Current Clinical Evidence.
Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a clinically heterogeneous and difficult-to-manage condition for which intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is increasingly used despite inconsistent evidence and substantial cost. We therefore systematically evaluated the clinical effectiveness of IVIG in SFN, with atte…
Automated quantification of skin Gb3 load and white matter lesion assessment in Fabry disease.
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by cellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). We investigated dermal Gb3 load as a potential surrogate marker for systemic FD manifestations by applying an automated image analysis pipeline to skin punch biopsies f…

Distinct sensory and autonomic involvement in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome compared with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy: a multimodal study.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), frequently presents with pain and autonomic symptoms suggestive of small fiber neuropathy (SFN). However, systematic comparisons between hEDS and idiopathic SFN (iSFN) using combined clinical, functional, and morphological approaches are lacking. We prospec…
Too high and too loose: dysautonomia and the hypertensive paradox in hypermobility disorders.
Hypertension in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) represents an increasingly recognized but poorly understood clinical phenomenon. This review addresses the unique pathophysiology, diagnostic considerations, and management challenges of hypertension…
Periodontal Inflammatory Burden and Multi-Organ Microvascular Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study.
Periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are linked through systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, yet it remains uncertain whether periodontal inflammatory burden independently reflects early, multi-organ microvascular vulnerability beyond glycemic exposure. This study aimed to…
