Analyzing the 1978 patients, 834% exhibited involvement in at least one specialized region at the initial assessment; the scalp (667%) was most frequently affected, followed by the nails (379%), face/neck (369%), genitalia (256%), and finally the palms and soles (222%). Patients with psoriasis limited to scalp, nails, or genitals (excluding palmoplantar or face/neck), displayed significantly higher odds of achieving clearance by week 12 in the anti-IL-17A cohort relative to the other biologic therapy cohort. Patients with scalp psoriasis who received ixekizumab showed a 10-20% improvement in response rate, and had a significantly greater likelihood (18-23) of achieving clearance at week 12 compared to the included biologics. Real-world data reveals a marked clearance of targeted areas by biologics at the 12-week mark. Anti-IL-17A biologics demonstrate a considerably greater likelihood of clearing scalp, nail, and genital lesions in patients at week 12 compared to alternative biologics. Biologics, in real-world applications, show significant clearance of specialized regions within 12 weeks. Patients experiencing scalp, nail, or genital manifestations exhibit a considerably increased probability of achieving clearance by week 12 when treated with anti-IL-17A biologics, contrasting with other biological treatments. Cytochrome P450 17A1 is inhibited by abiraterone acetate, a steroidal compound, in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. The current report delves into the case history of a 66-year-old patient who suffered from prostate adenocarcinoma, and the spread of this cancer to the bones and lymph nodes. Abiraterone acetate treatment, coupled with corticosteroid co-administration and LH-RH analog hormone therapy, was commenced. A deterioration in the patient's general state of health, observed four and a half months after their last visit, led them to consult a physician. Due to a biologically developed fulminant hepatitis, he passed away. The possibility of an infectious or metabolic cause was eliminated. Following imaging assessment, the oncological origin, arising from either disease advancement or a secondary tumor process, was not confirmed. Abiraterone acetate's therapeutic application was linked to the emergence of hepatic toxicity. Fulminant hepatitis in patients treated with abiraterone acetate may be less recognized than it should be, thus highlighting the critical significance of frequent liver function testing during this therapy. In a global pandemic, COVID-19 has impacted 185 countries, including the nation of Indonesia. COVID-19 patients exhibiting cardiovascular diseases (CVD) experienced a decline in clinical status. Yet, the ascertained link lacked definitive support, stemming from the limited data pool in the Indonesian context. The study's focus was on establishing the link between cardiovascular disease in COVID-19 pneumonia patients and their clinical trajectory. From September 2020 to July 2021, a retrospective cohort study, conducted across four Indonesian hospitals, enrolled 584 adult COVID-19 pneumonia patients. Employing a two-group classification, patients were categorized as either non-CVD or CVD, the latter encompassing hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic heart failure (CHF), hypertensive heart disease (HHD), arrhythmia, cardiomegaly, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), mitral regurgitation (MR), and myocardial injury (MI). Clinical outcomes encompass in-hospital fatalities, intensive care unit admissions, ventilator dependence, premature demise, and extended hospital stays. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed for the data analysis. The most frequently diagnosed cardiovascular ailment was hypertension, with a prevalence of 481%, followed by myocardial infarction (106%), coronary artery disease (92%), congestive heart failure (68%), hypertensive heart disease (31%), arrhythmia (17%), and other cardiovascular conditions (7%).
