Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of genetically heterogeneous neuromuscular diseases characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons in the anterior horns of the spinal cord. The prevalence of SMA is approximately 1 in 10.000 live births.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating disease that is the leading genetic cause of death in infants and young children. It includes a broad spectrum of phenotypes that are classified into clinical groups based on the age of onset and maximum motor function achieved. The most common form of SMA is due to a defect in the survival motor neuron 1 gene () localized to 5q11.

Background: Even though the incidence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C) is decreasing cases are still reported across the world. Studying the consequences of MIS-C enhances our understanding of the disease's prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess short- and medium-term clinical outcomes of MIS-C.

Background: Risdiplam is an orally administered therapy that modifies pre-mRNA splicing of the survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) gene and is approved for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. The FIREFISH study is investigating the safety and efficacy of risdiplam in treated infants with type 1 spinal muscular atrophy versus historical controls. The primary endpoint of part 2 of the FIREFISH study showed that infants with type 1 spinal muscular atrophy attained the ability to sit without support for at least 5 s after 12 months of treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • ANCHOVY was a global study examining the natural progression of Type 1 spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) to contextualize findings from the FIREFISH study on risdiplam treatment.
  • The research involved analyzing data from 60 patients with SMA symptoms starting between 28 days and 3 months of age, focusing on outcomes like time to death, need for ventilation, and achievement of motor milestones.
  • Results showed that patients faced severe challenges, with median ages of around 7.3 months for death or ventilation, and none were able to achieve significant motor skills, highlighting the stark differences compared to those treated with risdiplam in prior studies.

Objective: Genetic diagnosis and mutation identification are now compulsory for Duchenne (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophies (BMD), which are due to dystrophin () gene mutations, either for disease prevention or personalized therapies. To evaluate the ethnic-related genetic assortments of mutations, which may impact on DMD genetic diagnosis pipelines, we studied 328 patients with DMD and BMD from non-European countries.

Methods: We performed a full DMD mutation detection in 328 patients from 10 Eastern European countries (Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Russia) and 2 non-European countries (Cyprus and Algeria).

Objectives: Food allergy is an increasing burden worldwide and is a common problem within paediatric populations, affecting 5%-8% of children. Anaphylaxis caused by food proteins is a potentially life-threatening condition and all healthcare practitioners should be aware of its recognition and management. Russia is the largest country in Europe but it is still unknown whether physicians are prepared to diagnose and manage food-induced anaphylaxis effectively.

The role of breastfeeding in improving allergy outcomes in early childhood is still unclear. Evidence suggests that immune mediators in human milk (HM) play a critical role in infant immune maturation as well as protection against atopy/allergy development. We investigated relationships between levels of immune mediators in colostrum and mature milk and infant outcomes in the first year of life.

Cytokines and growth factors in colostrum and mature milk may play an important role in infant immune maturation, and may vary significantly between populations. We aimed to examine associations between environmental and maternal factors, and human milk (HM) cytokine and growth factor levels. We recruited 398 pregnant/lactating women in the United Kingdom, Russia, and Italy.
