The association between schizophrenia and narcolepsy has been controversial. We conducted a prospective case control study of schizophrenia and comorbid narcolepsy type 1 in adolescents compared with patients with either diagnosis alone and healthy controls using

F-fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography, sleep studies, and neurocognitive tests.

We included 11 patients (9-20 years old) with schizophrenia and comorbid narcolepsy type 1, 11 with narcolepsy type 1, 11 with schizophrenia, and 11 controls. All groups were matched for age and sex. Participants were required to submit to clinical interviews for sleep and psychiatric disorders, sleep questionnaires, continuous performance test, Wisconsin card sorting test, sleep studies including polysomnography, multiple sleep latency test and actigraphy, and positron emission tomography studies. All data were analyzed to compare the differences between the 4 groups.

The positron emission tomography results demonstrated significant differences in thquired additional interventions.Synovial osteochondromatosis (SOC) is a rare benign neoplasm. It is caused by the metaplasia of the synovium into the bone. The knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, and ankle are the common sites. Our objective was to retrospectively assess the clinical and radiological features of a few cases of SOC resembling some rheumatological conditions and describe it along with a literature review. A retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiological features of a few cases of SOC mimicking some rheumatological conditions was performed. There were 4 cases 3 adult men and a young boy. Three cases presented in the elbow and 1 case in the hip. There was a case mimicking osteoarthritis of the elbow in a young individual, another case presented like myositis ossificans of the elbow, and another case was similar to neuropathic arthritis of the elbow. The case in the hip presented as painful limping in the child. SOC can sometimes mimic various conditions affecting the synovial joints. A careful evaluation of the clinical and radiological features can be helpful in the correct diagnosis.

Medical literature shows that some authors tend to use the eponym Behçet/Behçet's disease/syndrome, whereas others use its amalgamated form, that is, Adamantiades-Behçet/Behçet's disease/syndrome. We investigated the changes in the use of these eponyms over the past 2 decades.

We used the PubMed database to search for publications that contained any of these nomenclatures using the appropriate tools available. Data were obtained for the title evaluated in the database and variations of the title or its distribution by year with respect to the nomenclature found in most related studies.

A total of 4,211 publications were found to use the original eponym compared with 96 publications that included the term Adamantiades from the year 2000 to the present. Considering the title of the articles, there was a declining use of the amalgamated form with Adamantiades from the first decade to the second decade, whereas there was an increasing use of Behçet/Behçet's disease or syndrome. In contrast, the relative percentages of all the reviewed articles that used the eponym disease or syndrome (without the amalgamated form) published in different specialty journals (rheumatology, ophthalmology, dermatology, and others) remained unchanged during the past 2 decades.

The general trend was to use Behçet/Behçet's disease or syndrome alone, although many scientists have contributed to the literature related to this topic during the historical period. The contributions of these scientists are undeniably significant, and honoring their importance is paramount.

To assess macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in septic shock leading to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

A prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital to evaluate the MAS criteria in different stages of sepsis. Children aged 6 months to 12 years in different stages of septic shock were recruited. The Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation Collaborative Initiative (PRINTO) criteria of MAS were applied initially at the stage of septic shock and subsequently at the stage of MODS (MODS cohort) or following recovery from septic shock without going through MODS (non-MODS cohort).

A total of 127 subjects were studied, with 53 comprising the MODS cohort and the rest 74 the non-MODS cohort. At the initial assessment, a comparable proportion of subjects in the MODS and non-MODS groups satisfied the MAS criteria (20.75% and 25.68%, respectively; p=0.529). However, by the time of progression to MODS, 81.13% of the subjects satisfied the MAS criteria in the MODS group, whereas only 16.18% subjects in the non-MODS group continued to satisfy the MAS criteria (p<0.001). Thus, there was a definite increase in the proportion of subjects showing MAS by the time they progressed to multiorgan dysfunction (p<0.001). In contrast, the proportion declined significantly (25.68% to 16.18%; p=0.008) in the subjects who had recovered.

The findings bear out the hypothesis that MODS in sepsis is a reflection of MAS secondary to sepsis. However, studies in larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings and explore the therapeutic implications.

The persistent presence of aPLs represents a thrombotic risk in APS, which can be stratified according to the aPL profile. Thrombosis occurs in both arteries and veins. Notably, arterial thromboses have a higher recurrence compared with venous thromboses and a tendency for recurrence in the same vascular (arterial) site. Secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis requires more intensive treatment than prevention of venous thrombosis. Data from randomized clinical trials indicated that factor Xa inhibitors should not be recommended for APS. Recurrent thromboses in patients with APS treated with factor Xa inhibitors were mainly arterial, with a high rate of stroke. Dual antiplatelet therapy may have some benefit for preventing the recurrence of arterial thrombosis in patients with APS. This review article describes pathogenic mechanisms, clinical features, risk assessment, and management of arterial thrombosis in patients with APS. Particularly, we discuss how secondary prophylaxis may be a useful approach to reduce the occurrence of arterial thrombosis.To date, scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) remains a life-threatening complication in patients affected by systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high morbidity and mortality. In the last few years, some studies have tried to more precisely identify predictors of SRC and clarify the role of previous drug exposure-in particular, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and corticosteroids-in patients with SSc presenting other well-known risk factors for SRC. Different from the findings of previous reports, more recent findings suggest that the presence of chronic kidney disease, systemic arterial hypertension, and proteinuria might all be predictors of SRC. Moreover, because about 40 to 50% of SRC cases can present signs of microangiopathy, a recent study has proposed SSc thrombotic microangiopathy (SSc-TMA) as a clinically and pathophysiologically different entity from narrowly defined SRC. Even though such clear distinction may not always be applicable/feasible in clinical practice, it highlights that complement pathway dysregulation may play a key pathogenetic role in SRC presenting as TMA. Thus, plasma exchange may be considered in severe refractory cases. Nevertheless, ACE inhibitors and prompt achievement of blood pressure control (to rapidly improve ongoing renal ischemia) remain to date the cornerstone of SRC treatment. Here, we report the cases of three SSc patients with SRC followed at our rheumatology units. While describing these patients' risk factors, clinical presentation, and therapy, we aim to discuss the state of the art in SRC and highlight critical issues.

In this study, we aimed to present the perioperative and postoperative outcomes and early continence rates of the first 50 patients who underwent Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RS-RALP) in our clinic for prostate adenocarcinoma.

Between December 2018 and December 2019, 50 patients who underwent RS-RALP by 2 surgeons in our clinic were enrolled in the study. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Procedure-specific complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. The continence status of the patients was recorded in the 1

week, 1

month, and 3

month after catheter removal. Zero pads or 1 safety pad per day was accepted as total continence.

The mean age of the patients was 66.6 (57-75) years. According to the D'Amico classification, 36% of patients were at low risk, 48% at intermediate risk, and 16% at high risk. Bilateral or unilateral nerve-sparing procedure was performed in 76% of the patients. There were no intraoperative complications. A total of 9 (18%) patients had a postoperative complication (7 with grade 1, 1 with grade 2, and 1 with grade 3 complications). Whereas 32% of the patients had an extraprostatic extension, 22% had seminal vesicle invasion. The overall positive surgical margin rate was 26%. At 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, 64%, 80%, and 92% of men who underwent RS-RALP were continent, respectively.

Our study showed that this new surgical technique can be a safe and feasible method because high rates of early continence were achieved in the patients who underwent RS-RALP without increasing the risk of complications.
