A significant progress in the field of molecular-biological investigations resulted in definition of a new group of systemic diseases referred to as autoinflammatory. This group comprises familial periodic fevers: periodic disease (mediterranean fever), Muckle-Wells syndrome, others cryopirinopathy, TRAPS-syndrome. As shown by case reports, Muckle-Wells syndrome is not a rare disease, its sporadic forms are encountered as well as a less severe variant of cryopirinopathy - nonallergic cold urticaria. Awareness of the physicians in respect of this pathology is essential especially because early diagnosis enables control of this disease with use of biological preparations the spectrum of which tends to expansion. Moreover, arrest of inflammation is necessary for prevention of development and progression of such prognostically poor complication as AA-amyloidosis.

Effectiveness of electroacupuncture and acupuncture in alleviating cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet: A randomized controlled trial.
PLoS One
November 2024
Dongnam Esoo Korean Medical Clinic, Cheongju-si, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet (CHHF) is a common condition causing discomfort, and this study aimed to explore alternative treatments like electroacupuncture (EA) and acupuncture (AC) compared to no treatment (control).
- A randomized controlled trial with 72 women assessed the effectiveness of these treatments using various measures like pain scores and quality of life assessments before, after, and at follow-up.
- Results indicated significant improvements in pain and quality of life for both EA and AC groups, with EA showing more lasting benefits than AC or the control group.
Rapid identification of primary atopic disorders (PAD) by a clinical landmark-guided, upfront use of genomic sequencing.
Allergol Select
October 2024
Center for Child and Adolescent Health, Helios Hospital Krefeld, Academic Hospital of RWTH Aachen, Krefeld.
Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.
Effectiveness and safety of canakinumab in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome: a retrospective study in China.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J
September 2024
Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Shenzhen Children's Hospital, 7019 Yitian Road, Shenzhen, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of canakinumab in treating Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) specifically in Chinese patients, as its use in this demographic was previously underreported.
- Out of 10 patients analyzed, 60% achieved complete remission and showed significant improvement in symptoms like fever and rash after treatment, while some required dose adjustments.
- The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with infections being the most common side effect, but no serious adverse events were reported, indicating canakinumab could be a viable option for CAPS management in this population.*
