A systematic review regarding the prevalence of malignancy in patients with the hyper-IgE syndrome
AbstractThe hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency disease originally described as Job syndrome. The fundamental causative variant of the HIES is an autosomal dominant mutation in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene. It is characterized by recurrent staphylococcal cold skin abscess, sinopulmonary infection, eczema, head and face anomalies, frequent bone fractures, eosinophilia and extremely high serum IgE levels (IgE  ≥ 2000 IU/mL). However, multiple other genetic defects are also known as HIES-like disorders. Apart from infectious manifestations,STAT3,DOC...

Too much of a good thing: a review of primary immune regulatory disorders
Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRDs) are inborn errors of immunity caused by a loss in the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory or immune response, leading to impaired immunological tolerance or an exuberant inflammatory response to various stimuli due to loss or gain of function mutations. Whilst PIRDs may feature susceptibility to recurrent, severe, or opportunistic infection in their phenotype, this group of syndromes has broadened the spectrum of disease caused by defects in immunity-related genes to include autoimmunity, autoinflammation, lymphoproliferation, malignancy, and allergy; increasing focus on PIR...

The diagnostic role of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in Granulomatous-Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease (GLILD) associated to Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
This study demonstrates that transbronchial cryobiopsy is a safe and minimally invasive approach for characterizing GLILD in CVID patients, providing a high diagnostic confidence and low rate of complications. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Extracellular matrix degradation products in serum of patients with chronic airway disease
Conclusion: ECM degradation products can be measured in the circulation of patients with airway inflammation and may be suited as disease-monitoring biomarkers. Further studies are required to ensure the accuracy of ECM quantification in sputum. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Pediatric non-CF bronchiectasis in the Vinnytsia region in Ukraine - what can we do better?
Conclusions: This is the first-time reported data for pediatric non-CF bronchiectasis from Ukraine. The disease seems to be underdiagnosed in the Vinnytsia region compared to epidemiological data in the European region. The etiology of pediatric bronchiectasis in Vinnytsia differs from published results from other countries probably because of some undiagnosed causes like protracted bacterial bronchitis, aspiration etc. More studies need to evaluate the true incidence of pediatric bronchiectasis in Ukraine.

Immunosuppressed COVID-19 patients: experience from a tertiary Chest hospital in Athens, Greece
Conclusion: Patients on anti-CD20 agents showed prolonged viremia, persistent fever, high risk for clinical deterioration and longer hospitalization. The ever-increasing number of these patients dicates a need for tailoring of treatment and constantly updated training. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Bioinformatics Integrative Analysis of Circadian Rhythms Effects on Atopic Dermatitis and Dendritic Cells
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggested that the circadian rhythm is involved in the progression of AD, and RNTL2, NOCT, and RORC as well as dendritic cells are differentially expressed in AD. These findings could be used to introduce diagnostic and chronotherapeutic modalities for AD.PMID:37873510 | PMC:PMC10590565 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S424343 (Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology)
