RESUMEN
Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex clinical condition characterized by persistent gastrointestinal inflammation that leads to episodes of flare-ups and subsequent healing. The treatment options for this disease are heterogeneous as its impact on different patients is also different. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of recently approved drugs that specifically target certain pathways within cells that are involved in CD pathogenesis. These medicines include biologics like anti-TNF agents, interleukin inhibitors, and small molecule inhibitors; they work by altering the modulation of immune responses and reducing inflammation. These drugs seem promising in terms of inducing remission in moderate to severe CD among various patient populations. Conversely, it is possible to examine how well these drugs perform using gene expression and molecular markers. By understanding these results along with other ongoing trials, personalized medicine can be used more frequently by doctors who will adopt a strategy for an individual patient, maximizing benefits while minimizing adverse effects. There are still some issues that need to be worked out like the high cost associated with these drugs or immunogenicity risk and infectious complications too. In conclusion, there has been a remarkable improvement in CD management over the past decade with customized drugs leading toward a precision medical era. Further understanding of molecular mechanisms implicated in CD pathogenesis and new therapeutic approaches could potentially improve treatment outcomes among affected individuals. This research is crucial in understanding how CD therapeutics are changing, thus facilitating selection by doctors on the most appropriate methods for individualized patient care.
RESUMEN
Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still the primary cause of death, and there are notable differences between sexes when it comes to symptoms/course and treatment. Due to evolving healthcare technologies, significant progress has been made in understanding CVDs. Hence, it is evident that gender disparities exist in the clinical presentation, prevalence, management, outcomes, and risk factors, including biological, behavioral, and sociocultural factors. This narrative review is designed to provide a generalized idea of gender disparities in CVDs. It aims to provide insights to prove the role of hormonal influences, genetic predispositions, and the difference in physiological outcomes owing to different genders. This review explores subtle distinctions in CVD across genders, including changes in structure, biology, and hormones that affect how illness presents and progresses. Lifestyle variables also influence sociocultural factors and gender disparities in risk profiles. Traditional risk factors, diabetes mellitus (DM), cholesterol levels, and smoking may have different weights and relevance in men and women. Moreover, age and other conventional risk variables have distinct effects on gender. Treatment efficacy may be impacted by the expression of gender-specific factors, emphasizing the necessity for customized strategies. Development of CVDs can be delayed or prevented, and its consequences can be lessened with the early identification and effective management of gender-specific factors. More investigation is necessary to clarify complex interactions between structural, biochemical, and hormonal aspects across genders in order to maximize treatment results and reduce the burden of CVDs.
