Purpose Of Review: To outline the latest discoveries regarding the utility and reliability of serum biomarkers in idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis (IRAP), considering recent findings on its pathogenesis. The study highlights the predictive role of these biomarkers in potential short- (cardiac tamponade, recurrences) and long-term complications (constrictive pericarditis, death).
Recent Findings: The pathogenesis of pericarditis has been better defined in recent years, focusing on the autoinflammatory pathway.

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) undergoing femoral endarterectomy. We performed a retrospective analysis of our institutional data, evaluating consecutive patients with PAD who underwent femoral endarterectomy between January 2013 and March 2023. The main objective was to assess the prognostic value of preoperative NLR for 5-year mortality.

: Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in pelvic pain among endometriosis patients. This study examines the association between inflammatory markers-specifically the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)-and pelvic pain in endometriosis. : We conducted a retrospective analysis of endometriosis patients, assessing NLR and PLR levels in those with and without pelvic pain.

Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) has emerged as a critical innovation in liver transplantation (LTx), offering significant protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study focuses on quantifying and characterizing immune cells flushed out during HOPE to explore its effects on graft function and post-transplant outcomes. Fifty liver grafts underwent end-ischemic HOPE.
