Vasculitis Expertise Center, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.

In this plenary session of the Vasculitis Workshop 2024, pioneering translational research on autoimmune vasculitis, particularly ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), was presented, highlighting advancements in our understanding of disease mechanisms and promising therapeutic prospects. Advances in elucidating molecular pathways, such as IL-17 and IFN-I, pave the way for specific treatments. Preclinical studies have revealed the gut microbiome's role in the pathogenesis of MPO-AAV and demonstrate the therapeutic potential of dietary interventions.

Human defensins are peptides coded by certain genes released as a part of immune response that act differently to tumorigenic cells according to the class. A varied cellular response has been documented in the world literature concerning the role of defensins in the cancer cell lines, though the exact role in the internal human milieu and the role specific to head and neck cancers is still understudied. This study explores the possible role of Human Beta Defensin (HBD) 1 and 3 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in disease progression and their potential as biomarkers/prognostic markers.

Research highlights the importance of applying physiological criteria for optimal umbilical cord clamping, underlining its lasting advantages. In response, the Division of Pediatrics, Perinatology, and Neonatology at the National University of Colombia has pioneered the Immediate Neonatal Adaptation Guideline, focusing on Physiologically-based Cord Clamping. This study has two main objectives: The first is to represent the medical guideline through a statechart model to enhance clarity and detail.

Hyperhidrosis is thought to result from excessive stimulation of sweat glands due to increased sympathetic activity; however, data on systemic responses following bilateral thoracic sympathectomy as the definitive treatment have not yet been sufficiently evaluated. This study, designed as a prospective cohort investigation, included 24 patients who underwent sympathectomy for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis at our center in 2023, along with an age-matched control group of equal size. In the sympathectomy group, pupillometry measurements were performed 1 day before surgery and on the 7th postoperative day, while the control group underwent measurements at corresponding intervals.
