Alterations in the intestinal microbiota contribute to the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular disorders, but how they affect the development of Kawasaki disease (KD) an acute pediatric vasculitis, remains unclear.METHODS:We used the Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE) murine model of KD vasculitis to assess the contribution of the intestinal microbiota to the development of vascular… Continue reading Intestinal #Microbiota Contributes to the Development of #Cardiovascular Inflammation and Vasculitis in Mice

Atypical Kawasaki Disease after COVID-19 Vaccination: A NewForm of Adverse Event Following Immunization
Abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a medium-vessel vasculitis that is typically presented duringchildhood; fewer than 100 cases of KD have been reported worldwide in adult patients who metthe criteria according to the American College of Rheumatology. This study presents the case ofan 18-year-old patient with no previous history of any disease, who presented atypical KD… Continue reading Atypical Kawasaki Disease after COVID-19 Vaccination: A NewForm of Adverse Event Following Immunization
Abstract 10712: Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning
Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16,… Continue reading Abstract 10712: Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning
Immune mediated events timely associated with COVID-19 vaccine. A comment on article by Badier, et al.: “IgA vasculitis in adult patients following vaccination by ChadOx1 nCoV-19”
Dear Editor,We read the article by Badier et al. entitled “IgA vasculitis in adult patients following vaccination by ChadOx1 nCoV-19”, published in Autoimmunity Reviews with interest. (1) We share the author's view that the COVID-19 vaccine could be the trigger of IgA vasculitis in the reported case. At our secondary/tertiary rheumatology centre, we have been… Continue reading Immune mediated events timely associated with COVID-19 vaccine.

Association of #Cigarette Smoking With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated #Vasculitis
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic small vessel vasculitis characterized by circulating ANCAs targeting proteinase 3 (PR3) or myeloperoxidase (MPO) and associated with excess morbidity and mortality. Myeloperoxidase-ANCA–positive AAV and PR3-ANCA–positive AAV are increasingly recognized to have differences in genetic risk, pathogenesis, and response to treatment. Risk factors for AAV, including cigarette… Continue reading Association of #Cigarette Smoking With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated #Vasculitis
