Erythromelalgia is a rare pain disorder that is underrecognized and difficult-to-treat. It is characterized by episodes of extremity erythema and pain that can be disabling; it may be genetic, related to an underlying systemic disease, or idiopathic. Considering the prominent cutaneous features characteristic of the condition, dermatologists can play an important role in early recognition and limitation of morbidity. The first article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and complications.

Is middle East pain syndrome (MEPS) a variant of fibromyalgia syndrome or a distinct disease?
BMC Rheumatol

Background: Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disabling musculoskeletal condition of unknown aetiology characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, extreme fatigue, mood disturbance, impaired cognition, and lack of refreshing sleep. Middle East pain syndrome (MEPS) is a newly described pollution-induced syndrome of hyperparathyroidism and fibromyalgia mimicking rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by the radiological presence of spur-like excrescences in terminal phalanges. This study aimed to explore the inflammatory nature of Middle East pain and Fibromyalgia syndromes.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive lung disease. Disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. From the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), clarifying the role of disulfidptosis in the development of COPD could provide a opportunity for primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment of the disease.

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) critically regulate homeostatic liver function and liver pathogenesis. However, the isolation of LSECs remains a major technological bottleneck in studying molecular mechanisms governing LSEC functions. Current techniques to isolate LSECs, relying on perfusion-dependent liver digestion, are cumbersome with limited throughput.

Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to investigate the causal relationships between immune cell phenotypes, hyperthyroidism (HD), and potential metabolic mediators. In this study, we acquired 731 immune cell phenotypes from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (n = 18,622), HD data from the research by Handan Melike Dönertaş et al. (3,731 cases, 480,867 controls), and aggregated statistics of 1,400 blood metabolites from UK Biobank (n = 115,078).

The analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) through minimally invasive liquid biopsies is promising for early multi-cancer detection and monitoring minimal residual disease. Most existing methods focus on targeted deep sequencing, but few integrate multiple data modalities. Here, we develop a methodology for ctDNA detection using deep (80x) whole-genome TET-Assisted Pyridine Borane Sequencing (TAPS), a less destructive approach than bisulphite sequencing, which permits the simultaneous analysis of genomic and methylomic data.
