Recommendations for surveillance of pulmonary dysfunction among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors: a report from the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group
EClinicalMedicine. 2024 Feb 20;69:102487. doi: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102487. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTChildhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors are at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. Current follow-up care guidelines are discordant. Therefore, the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group established and convened a panel of 33 experts to develop evidence-based surveillance guidelines. We critically reviewed available evidence regarding risk factors for pulmonary dysfunction, types of pulmonary function testing, and timings of surveillance, then we formulated our re...

Familial Mediterranean Fever-Associated Retinal Vasculitis: A Rare Manifestation Successfully Managed with IL-1 Pathway Inhibitors
CONCLUSION: This case underscores the rarity of retinal vasculitis in FMF, particularly involving arteries, and highlights the correlation between specific gene mutations (M680I, M694V) and disease severity. The successful management with IL-1 pathway inhibitors suggests a potential therapeutic approach. Increased clinical awareness, further research, and reporting are crucial for optimizing the understanding and treatment of FMF-related ocular manifestations.PMID:38364019 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2024.2317978 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)

Clinical presentation and genetic variants in patients with autoinflammatory diseases: results from the German GARROD registry
AbstractTo investigate clinical symptoms and genetic variants in patients from the German anti-IL-1 registry for autoinflammatory orphan diseases (GARROD) between 2013 and 2022. Multicentre, retrospective analysis of demographic, clinical and genetic data of patients with autoinflammatory diseases (AID) who received anti-IL-1 targeted therapy. The cohort comprised 152 patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF; n = 71), cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS; n = 43), TNF-receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS; n = 19), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD; n = 3) and unclassified AID (uAID;...
