Over the past 10 years, meta-analyzes of statins, randomized clinical trials using ezetimibe and anti-PCSK9 antibodies, and Mendelian randomization studies have strengthened the central and causal role of LDL-c in the development of cardiovascular disease. The LDL-c target has been gradually lowered and to date there is no LDL-c threshold below which the benefit of the reduction disappears. The decrease in cardiovascular risk is proportional to the absolute reduction in the concentration of LDL-c regardless of the means by which this reduction is obtained. These data led to the formulation of new guidelines for the management of dyslipidemias relating in particular to a lowering of the LDL-c target and to the complementary use of ezetimibe and anti-PCSK9 antibodies after statins.Multiple sclerosis is still a severe disease potentially associated with a short- or long-term disability in young adults. Since a few years therapeutic progresses are considerable. New drugs and new therapy rationale considerably improved our knowledge and patient's care. Early treatment is a key within dedicated specialized and multidisciplinary units. Clinical and neuroradiological no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) is a goal, which is more often reached. Patient's evolution and follow-up is completely changed in recent years with more efficacy.Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting around 2-3 % of the population. The disease spectrum evolves from to the knees and elbows limited disease to erythrodermic psoriasis. The impact on the quality of life, the pruritus, the pain from palmo-plantar disease, arthropathic psoriasis and the comorbidities are the major complaints of the patients.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/azd9291.html  The treatment relies on topical treatments with dermocorticosteroids with or without vitamin D derivatives, UVA or UVB phototherapy, conventional treatments including methotrexate, ciclosporin and acitretin, and, since around 15 years, biological treatments. The biological treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis progressed in a spectacular way with an improvement of clinical results and an amelioration of the safety profile at every step. This article discusses these developments from the TNF? antagonists, including etanercept, adalimumab and infliximab to the newly arrivals, the anti-IL17 and anti-IL23 antagonists, the anti-PDE-4 antagonists and the JAK inhibitors.The development of new drugs is a significant activity in a university hospital that favors access to therapeutic novelties to patients. Rheumatology, whose drug armamentarium was poor in the 1980s, has benefited from the huge progresses of immunology in the 1980-1990s, allowing a therapeutic revolution in whom the academic hospital of Liège (CHU Liège) has been strongly implicated. First protocols with anti-TNF-? monoclonal antibodies have been applied in 1997. Sixty-one protocols have been initiated in rheumatoid arthritis, 12 in ankylosing spondylitis, 10 in psoriatic arthritis, 9 in systemic erythematosus lupus, 3 in giant cell arteritis, 1 in polymyalgia rheumatica, 5 in osteoarthritis and 4 in osteoporosis. Potential and pitfalls will be discussed disease by disease and also by drug categories. The balance remains globally positive, but remission is far from be reached.New antiviral therapies, available in Belgium since 2015, have revolutionized the treatment of hepatitis C. A definitive eradication of the virus can now be obtained in nearly all treated patients whatever the viral genotype or the fibrosis stage. Moreover, due to the excellent security profile of these therapies, all the patients can have access to a therapy whatever their concomitant pathologies. The therapeutic victory against the virus being acquired, efforts are turning towards the screening of the patients unaware of their infection, in order to obtain a near eradication of the virus in 2030.Malaria is a worldwide public health problem. In Europe, data show an increasing trend of imported cases in the last ten years. Following an alarming observation reporting resistance to anti-malarial drugs, new effective treatments have been developed in early 21st century. These are artemisinin and its derivatives. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT) are now recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) since 2006 as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, resistance phenomena to these new drugs have been described in South-East Asia since 2009. It is thus necessary to use them properly and to monitor their use to preserve their effectiveness in the future.In order to end the AIDS pandemic, new infections must be avoided. This prevention can be divided into four axes depending on the risk of exposure to the HIV virus. Over the past decade, new prevention strategies supported by various studies have emerged. These are effective when they are used in combination. Some are not without risk or even controversial according to some authors.Asthma is a chronic heterogeneous airway disease. There are different asthma inflammatory phenotypes with various responses to treatment and different disease severities. When asthma requires chronic systemic corticosteroids or hospitalizations despite maximal inhaled therapies in asthmatic patients in whom comorbidities have been managed and who are considered as compliant, the pulmonologist may propose biological treatment to reduce exacerbations and the dose of systemic corticosteroids. During the last ten years, the number of biologics for the management of type-2 severe asthma has increased. Anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies (omalizumab) are available for more than ten years and recommended in severe allergic asthma. New biologics are now available to block IL-5 (mepolizumab, reslizumab) or its receptor (benralizumab). These treatments allow a reduction of exacerbations and of the dose of systemic corticosteroids, an improvement in asthma control, in asthma quality of life and for some of them, an increase in lung function. New biologics will soon be available in Belgium for the management of severe asthma. In addition to the improvement of asthma control in severe asthma, biological treatments have improved the understanding of the mechanisms leading to severe asthma.
