On the basis of well defined diagnostic criteria, the authors conclude that periodic disease affects males in particular. It commences before the age of 20 years in 80 percent of cases. In particular it occurs in Armenian and Shiite communities. Its evolution is normally benign ; amyloidosis is found in only 8 percent of cases. Joint manifestations are found in 48 percent of cases and may take on different aspects and occur in several different sites : myaglia or arthralgia, monoarthitis, oligoarthritis, polyarthritis, neck or sacroiliac pain. The authors have not noted prolonged peripheral joint episodes. No cases of amyloidosis were diagnosed before the appearance of the clinical signs of the disease. An autosomal, dominant heredity with incomplete penetration seems to be the most likely hypothesis.

Urticaria has become a major public health challenge in China, yet comprehensive national data assessments are lacking. This study analyzes the burden of urticaria in China compared to G20 countries from 1990 to 2021. Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021, we examined the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of urticaria by age and sex in China.

Background: Comprehensive documentation on consecutive years of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) in children is lacking. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the clinical profiles of MERS in children across different age groups, focusing on pathogens and recovery time.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 43 patients diagnosed with MERS were enrolled between December 2017 and November 2021.

Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Background: Fever following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) poses a clinical challenge, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach to discern between infectious and non-infectious origins. Despite its minimally invasive nature, TAVI disrupts protective anatomical barriers, leading to an increased risk of infection, as well as to aseptic inflammatory responses. Standardized strategies for the management of these patients are lacking.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the utility, feasibility, time, and cost-effectiveness of awake ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsies (AUPBs) in children with suspected musculoskeletal tumours, when compared with more conventional biopsies under general anaesthesia (BGAs).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of paediatric biopsies performed in a UK tertiary musculoskeletal centre between March 2016 and March 2023 was undertaken. Eighty-six paediatric patients were included in the study, 53 undergoing BGA and 33 undergoing AUPB.
