Schnitzler syndrome is a unique autoinflammatory disease, of which 747 cases have been described worldwide to date. The main features of the syndrome are a triad of recurrent urticaria, monoclonal IgM gammopathy, systemic inflammation associated with recurrent fever, joint and bone pain, and atypical bone remodeling (osteosclerosis). The abnormal activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome produces IL-1, which drives the disease pathology, but it also involves IL-6 and IL-18.

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent metabolic disorder with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is enhanced by obesity. This study sought to determine whether a panel of cardiovascular risk proteins (CVRPs) would be dysregulated in overweight/obese PCOS patients, highlighting potential biomarkers for CVD in PCOS.
Methods: In this exploratory cross-sectional study, plasma levels of 54 CVRPs were analyzed in women with PCOS (n = 147) and controls (n = 97).

Objectives: Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is characterized by atypical urticarial lesions and leukocytoclastic vasculitis, sometimes with extracutaneous manifestations. First-line treatment is based on colchicine, hydroxychloroquine, dapsone or low-dose glucocorticoids. In refractory forms, the use of biologics has been anecdotally described as potentially effective.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma is a diverse B-cell lymphoma with varying clinical behaviors. Treating relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma is challenging, with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors proving effective but not curative. Post-Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor failure, the prognosis remains unfavorable.

Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.
