A 60-year-old man with lymphoma completed chemotherapy on October 21, 2016, with complete remission. He then received rituximab maintenance therapy. Since March 2017, he has had progressive fatigue, myalgias, rash, weight loss, diarrhea, and recurrent low-grade fever. Subsequent bone marrow biopsy and FDG PET/CT demonstrated no active lymphoma. An In-white blood cell scan showed abnormal tracer uptake on 20-hour postinjection, but not on 3-hour postinjection images, including innumerable skeleton muscle foci, multiple cutaneous foci, and persistent diffuse increased uptake in the lungs. Diagnosis of adult-onset Still disease was made accordingly. The patient's cytopenia was deemed a chemotherapy-related adverse effect.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of neurocognitive dysfunctions in patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS), a neuropsychiatric disorder that occurs before age 13 and is rarer and more severe than adult-onset schizophrenia.
Method: A search was made in the PubMed database. Sixty-seven studies (out of 543) which analyzed Intellectual Quotient (IQ), attentional, memory and executive functions were selected by two independent researchers.
Adult-Onset Still's Disease Mimicking Myositis: A Case Report.

Department of Neurosciences, Philippine General Hospital, Manila, PHL.
The combination of severe myalgia, progressive weakness, and blood in the urine often leads a neurologist to consider myositis. Accordingly, reddish urine may be linked to urine myoglobinuria brought about by muscle destruction. Nevertheless, in a young patient with normal creatine kinase complaining of immobility, adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) should be one of the top differentials.

Autoinflammatory bone disorders (ABDs) are characterized by sterile bone inflammation stemming from dysregulated innate immune responses. This review focuses on the occurrence of sterile osteomyelitis in ABDs and related diseases, notably chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) and its sporadic and monogenic forms, such as deficiency of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, Majeed syndrome, CNO related to mutation, and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA syndrome). Additionally, other autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) are discussed, including classical periodic fever syndromes (e.

In Japan, there are no nationwide guidelines for presymptomatic testing for hereditary neuromuscular diseases. Although each institution has been dealing with this situation by using their own procedures to date, it is necessary to develop a standardized guidelines based on the Japanese medical system, because the development of disease-modifying therapies has progressed, and we are entering an era in which early diagnosis and early treatment are necessary. The guidelines presented here were devised by the Committee on Medical Genetics of the Japan Neurological Society.
