Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by rapidly progressive dementia, severe sleep disturbances, and autonomic dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of FFI can exhibit substantial variations, making it crucial to rule out other conditions, such as autoimmune encephalitis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, during early diagnosis. In this study, we describe the case of a 58-year-old man who experienced persistent insomnia, autonomic symptoms, gait instability, and rapidly progressive dementia.

Chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure, remain formidable challenges due to their complex progression and limited therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a game-changing approach, leveraging its potent immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, and regenerative capabilities, along with the ability to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. This review delves into the latest advances in MSC-based treatments for chronic and end-stage liver diseases, as highlighted in current clinical trials.

The term Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is used to describe complex symptoms related to vascular compromise, which are typically exacerbated by cold-induced vasoconstriction, emotional stress, or other sympathomimetic factors. In almost all patients with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc), the first symptom is RP, often two to five years before any other symptom of scleroderma. The clinical course and severity of this disease are variable and highly fatal in some individuals, which has led to the development of strategies for timely diagnosis; hence, criteria for the very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis have been established.
