Introduction: The knowledge of the aetiology of Behçet disease (BD), an immune-mediated vasculitis, is limited. HLA-B, mainly HLA-B51, and HLA-A molecules are associated with disease, but the ultimate cause of this association remains obscure. There is evidence that NK cells participate in the etiopathology of BD.

Methods: From the Spanish Scleroderma Study Group database, we selected patients in whom PM/Scl antibodies had been tested. We compared demographic, clinical, laboratory, and survival data between patients with and without PM/Scl antibodies.

Article Synopsis
- Non-technical skills like leadership and communication are crucial for effective teamwork during crises, and this study explored their impact on health professionals' emotional responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A simulation-based training program was conducted before the outbreak, involving 48 doctors and 48 nurses, who later participated in a survey measuring stress, anxiety, and depression levels in May 2020.
- Results showed that while both groups experienced high levels of stress and anxiety, those trained in non-technical skills did not significantly differ from the control group, although contact with COVID-19 patients was a major factor in increased psychological distress.
In 2019, The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) modified the grading system for patients with COPD, creating 16 subgroups (1A-4D). As part of the COPD Cohorts Collaborative International Assessment (3CIA) initiative, we aim to compare the mortality prediction of the 2015 and 2019 COPD GOLD staging systems. We studied 17 139 COPD patients from the 3CIA study, selecting those with complete data.
