    Abstract Introduction: Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV), also known as mixed cryoglobulinemic syndrome (MCS), is a systemic vasculitis that affects small blood vessels. It exhibits a wide range of clinical manifestations, making its treatment a continuing challenge for physicians.
    Areas covered: We conducted a comprehensive review to evaluate the current status of diagnosis, management, and treatment of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). The accurate clinical and serological evaluation plays a vital role in diagnosing MC, identifying potential comorbidities, and monitoring its main manifestations and complications. Treatment strategies should be individualized based on the underlying etiopathogenesis, the severity of organ involvement, and the associated underlying disease. At present, the two mainstays of CV treatment are direct antiviral agents (for HCV-related CV) and B-cell-targeted therapy.
    Expert opinion: MC remains one of the few autoimmune diseases where the etiology is known, at least for the majority of patients. Its pathogenetic mechanism offers a unique opportunity to investigate the interplay between infections and the immune system. Moving forward, the primary challenge will continue to lie in the treatment of resistant or refractory cases of CV, particularly those associated with autoimmune diseases, or cases classified as 'essential' CV.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) consists of neurological development disorders that manifest before three years of age and affect social interactions, markedly restricting range of interests and activities, often associated with some degree of intellectual disability. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) are non-invasive imaging tools to investigate the function of the brain in vivo. SPECT and PET studies exploring rCBF and brain glucose metabolism in patients with ASD have been performed, providing important insights into the brain regions involved in ASD. Abnormalities in serotonergic, dopaminergic, GABAergic, cholinergic, and glutamatergic systems have been suggested to contribute to the observed distorted brain circuitry associated with ASD. However, the specificity of such abnormalities needs to be fully clarified because schizophrenia and other psychiatric diseases have been shown to present with comparable changes in neurotransmitter systems. Neuroinflammation could also play a role in the development of autism. Therefore, ASD is a complicated process involving a number of factors. It is mandatory to perform more research studies to determine the molecular cornerstone of ASD and to improve our comprehension of the clinical correlates of ASD.

    Abstract Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors are bioactive lipid metabolites that bind five different types of receptors expressed ubiquitously in human body and mediate a broad range of biological functions. Targeting S1P receptors is nowadays a well-established pharmacological strategy to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the adverse events associated with the ancestor (fingolimod), especially in terms of heart conduction and slow reversibility of its pharmacodynamics effect on lymphocytes, have stimulated a search for a S1P modulator with greater selectivity for S1P

    Abstract Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune systemic disease characterized by the destruction of exocrine glands, mainly salivary and lacrimal glands. The diagnosis is generally made upon objective tests aimed at assessing salivary and lacrimal glandular function, autoantibody assays, and the results of labial salivary gland biopsies. A major salivary gland biopsy is usually reserved to assess lymphoproliferative complications. Recently, the sonographic evaluation of the major salivary glands has gained a crucial role in assessing the glandular parenchyma and early detecting abnormalities, while the role of ultrasonography in the assessment of lacrimal glands is still secondary. Our case report is about a male patient who presented parotid gland swelling and purpuric lesions, with preserved salivary and lacrimal glandular function. Considering the presence of risk factors associated with lymphoproliferative development and the peculiar characteristics detected by salivary and lacrimal gland ultrasonography, we performed a parotid gland biopsy, confirming Sjögren's syndrome. Our case demonstrates that lacrimal gland ultrasonography could be implemented, along with major salivary gland ultrasonography, as a routine procedure in evaluating patients with suspected or definite diagnoses of pSS.

    Title translation Cryoglobulinemia.
    Abstract Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that precipitate in vitro at temperatures below 37 ̊C. Cryoglobulin-associated disease is heterogeneous, as not all patients present with it, includes various syndromic presentations (vasculitis is the most common, hyperviscosity syndrome is more exceptional), and can be associated with acute clinical pictures with high mortality. Until the appearance of specific antiviral treatments, the main aetiology has been chronic HCV infection, and currently it is mainly associated with systemic autoimmune diseases, malignant neoplasms and cases with no identified aetiology (essential cryoglobulinemia). Treatment should be modulated according to the predominant etiopathogenesis (vasculitis or hyperviscosity), the severity of internal organ involvement and, especially, the associated underlying disease. Due to the complex aetiological, clinical and pathological scenario of cryoglobulinaemia, early recognition of the most common clinical presentations, a comprehensive clinical assessment of the different organs that may be affected, and multidisciplinary work led by a unit specialised in systemic autoimmune diseases is essential.
