- Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are complex conditions that often lead to late diagnoses, with a rise in related inflammatory issues alongside infections.
- A case study of an adult showed that chronic Human Adenovirus C-1 arthritis was diagnosed in a patient with primary agammaglobulinemia, highlighting the challenges in managing these patients.
- The use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing provided an accurate diagnosis, and high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins led to complete recovery, emphasizing the need for advanced diagnostic techniques in treating immune-compromised individuals.
Sarcomas include cancer stem cells, but how these cells contribute to local and metastatic relapse is largely unknown. We previously showed the pro-tumor functions of calpain-6 in sarcoma stem cells. Here, we use an osteosarcoma cell model, osteosarcoma tissues and transcriptomic data from human tumors to study gene patterns associated with calpain-6 expression or suppression.

Chondrocalcinosis (CC) is a frequent feature of GS. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence, distribution patterns, clinical phenotypes and risk factors for CC in GS.

Methods: For the last 10-year period, we analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent MRI and CT-guided biopsy for suspected septic spondylodiscitis. Clinical characteristics were recorded.
