Article Synopsis
- AA amyloidosis (AAA) is a serious multisystem disease stemming from chronic inflammation, commonly affecting the kidneys and posing risks during pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
- Transitioning from pediatric to adult care is crucial for individuals with autoinflammatory diseases, yet the effectiveness of such programs, especially for specific diseases, is not well-researched.
- A study at the French National Reference Center reviewed medical records of 111 young adults with autoinflammatory diseases to analyze the impact of transition types on healthcare follow-up and disease management.
- Results indicated that those who underwent any form of transition had more regular follow-ups than those with no transition, and while the transition type didn't significantly affect disease control, collaborative approaches may enhance patient outcomes overall.
