Microbial‐Metabolite Signatures Are Associated With Glucocorticoid Responsiveness in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit heterogeneous responses to oral glucocorticoids (GCs), but the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. Objective To identify gut microbiome‒plasma metabolomic signatures asso...

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Localised Scleroderma Quality of Life Instrument (LoSQI): an international study

Juvenile localised scleroderma (jLS) is a rare disease which impacts negatively on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to undertake the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of a novel disease-specific HRQoL measure, the Localised Scleroderma Quality of Life Instr...
