Abstract:

Systemic inflammatory diseases, including those of rheumatology and dermatology, are associated with increased cardiovascular events. Evidence demonstrates that the chronic systemic inflammation associated with these diseases plays a pivotal role in all stages of atherosclerotic plaque formation, from initiation of the fatty streak to plaque rupture and consequent acute coronary syndrome. Although a number of studies have evaluated the cardiovascular manifestations in systemic inflammatory disease, this thesis offers additional observations, including the vascular atherosclerotic pattern, the

The IFN-α is a type I IFN, a family of cytokines counteracting especially viral infections, by acting directly on infected cells, and via many immunomodulatory effects. The latter may also contri

Abstract:

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a distinct microvascular disorder that can lead to lacunar stroke, an important stroke subtype that accounts for a quarter of all ischaemic strokes. SVD is associated with imaging biomarkers such as white matter hyperintensities (WMH). The cause of SVD is largely unknown, although inflammation and blood-brain barrier failure via endothelial dysfunction have been implicated. Elevated plasma biomarkers of inflammation are associated with coronary heart disease and large vessel stroke but the role of inflammation in SVD is less well understood. Our hypothesi

Abstract Skin diseases are common: one in every three of all general practice patients have at least one dermatological problem. However, epidemiological studies addressing the overall prevalence of skin diseases are sparse. The skin is the largest organ in the body and it has several vital and immunological functions. Cutaneous signs are often the first manifestation of many systemic diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the overall prevalence, and the distribution according to sex and socioeconomic status, of skin diseases in an adult population.

Abstract:

Context and rationale – This work originates from policy priorities established within Defra to manage exotic animal diseases (EAD); specifically to understand the causes of low probability events, and to establish contingencies to manage outbreak incidents. Outbreaks of exotic animal diseases, e.g. FMD, CSF and HPAI, can cause economic and social impacts of catastrophic proportions. The UK’s government develops and implements policies and controls to prevent EAD and thus minimise these impacts. Control policies to achieve this are designed to address the vulnerabilities within the control sys

Abstract:

Autoimmune diseases are clinical manifestations of a loss-of-tolerance of the immune system against the body’s own substances and healthy tissues. Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are two chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases characterized by autoantibody production and an activated type I interferon system. Although the precise mechanisms leading to autoimmune processes are not well defined, recent studies suggest that aberrant DNA methylation and gene expression patterns may play a central role in the pathogenesis of these disorders.
