- * A case series of four CHI patients highlighted the application of new international guidelines and the use of updated treatment strategies, including genetic testing and continuous glucose monitoring.
- * The study emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment approaches, particularly in managing feeding issues, and supports the need for more evidence to develop better treatment options for severe CHI cases.
Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a genetic disorder and autoinflammatory disease characterized by chronic inflammation throughout the body. The most severe form of CAPS, Chronic Infantile Neurologic Cutaneous, and Articular (CINCA) syndrome, also known as Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), has three main features: skin rash, CNS involvement, and joint symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Radio-Taiso is an exercise program in Japan that might help improve quality of life for older adults with frailty, and a study was conducted to test its effectiveness in this population.
- A 12-week trial with 226 older adults divided them into groups receiving either Radio-Taiso along with nutritional support or just nutritional support.
- The results showed that while those doing Radio-Taiso had better agility, endurance, and confidence in exercising, these improvements did not lead to a noticeable change in their overall health-related quality of life.
Introduction: Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) has been widely used as a sperm extraction surgery for azoospermia even for obstructive azoospermia (OA) because it does not require surgical skill. However, there are postoperative pain issues, and subsequent testicular atrophy and decreased testosterone levels may occur with TESE. This study examines the usefulness of microscopic epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) for OA.
