The autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) was first introduced in 2011 to provide a more precise syndromic characterization of clinical manifestations observed in patients exposed to adjuvant substances such as biopolymers and silicone, among others. The clinical spectrum of this entity is variable, ranging from local involvement to potentially fatal immune-mediated systemic involvement. The interest in ASIA has grown in recent years, reinforcing diagnostic criteria and deepening the understanding of its pathophysiological behavior. This case report highlights a distinct range of clinical symptoms, such as general symptoms, advanced-stage chronic kidney disease, persistent hypercalcemia with suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH), bilateral nephrocalcinosis, cutaneous calcinosis, and the presence of positive autoantibodies, emphasizing the significance of understanding this condition.

Background: The cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary inflammatory disease clinically characterized by three overlapping types and associated with interleukin (IL)-1β.We reported a rare case of CAPS in a patient with accompanying symptoms such as growth retardation and urticaria-like rash. These clinical manifestations were caused by mutations in the NALP3 gene.

Background And Objectives: The term rapid progressive dementia (RPD) may be applied to patients who develop dementia within 1 year or complete incapacitation within 2 years of the first symptom of impairment. However, in select cases, cognitive impairment may emerge abruptly, with symptoms evolving across hours or days. We sought to determine the frequency, etiologies, and factors that associated with ultra-RPD.

Chronic prostatitis and Pelvic Pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by pelvic or perineal pain and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the prostate. C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) is an atypical chemokine receptor that has been shown to play a key role in inflammatory processes in prostate cancer. However, the role of CXCR7 in autoimmune prostate and immune regulation in CP/CPPS along with the mechanism of action for CXCR7 remains unclear.
