    Abstract We did not identify any vacuole-related differences in circulating immature myeloid cells between VEXAS patients and UBA1-WT 'VEXAS-like' patients. The similar vacuolization of circulating immature myeloid cells between VEXAS and UBA1-WT patients is explained by the main bloodstream passage of late precursors, in which the vacuolization is already similar in bone marrow in both cases.

    Abstract Objectives: VEXAS syndrome is an autoinflammatory disease associated with a somatic mutation of the X-linked UBA1 gene in haematopoietic progenitor cells. This disorder was originally described as a disease affecting men, but rare cases of VEXAS syndrome in women have since been reported. The theoretical existence of phenotypic sex differences in this X-linked disease is debated. We compared the features of VEXAS syndrome between males and females to better understand this disorder and to improve its diagnostic accuracy in females.
    Methods: From previously published clinical descriptions of VEXAS syndrome, we included studies that described patients with precise, individual VEXAS-related features. We formed a literature-based cohort of patients by collecting their clinical and biological data and compared the characteristics of male and female patients.
    Results: We gathered 224 patient descriptions from 104 articles: 9 women and 215 men. Among the women, 1 had a constitutional 45, X karyotype and 4 had an acquired X monosomy in the bone marrow karyotype, while the marrow karyotype was not provided for the others. No difference was observed in the clinical or biological features according to sex. We also observed no difference in the type of UBA1 mutation or the association with myelodysplastic syndrome.
    Conclusions: Our results supported that UBA1 mutation should be sought under the same conditions in both sexes. As UBA1 is not subject to X-chromosome inactivation, VEXAS syndrome in females requires both UBA1 mutation and X monosomy, thus explaining the similarity between male and female VEXAS-related features and the lower prevalence of VEXAS syndrome in females.

    Results: The VEXAS, UBA1-WT, and MDS groups included 3, 3, and 6 patients respectively. Analysis of 33,757 images of neutrophils and monocytes enabled us to distinguish VEXAS patients from both UBA1-WT and MDS patients, with mean ROC-AUCs ranging from 0.87 to 0.95.
    Conclusions: Image analysis of blood smears via deep learning accurately distinguished neutrophils and monocytes drawn from patients with VEXAS syndrome from those of patients with similar clinical and/or biological features but without

    Abstract Cobalamin or vitamin B12 (B12) is a cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, two enzymes implicated in key pathways for cell proliferation: methylation, purine synthesis, succinylation and ATP production. Ensuring these functions in cancer cells therefore requires important cobalamin needs and its uptake through the transcobalamin II receptor (TCII-R). Thus, both the TCII-R and the cobalamin-dependent metabolic pathways constitute promising therapeutic targets to inhibit cancer development. However, the link between cobalamin and solid cancers is not limited to cellular metabolism, as it also involves the circulating transcobalamins I and II (TCI or haptocorrin and TCII) carrier proteins, encoded by

    Abstract Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) shares many features with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). PCS represents a major health issue worldwide because it severely impacts patients' work activities and their quality of life. In the absence of treatment for both conditions and given the beneficial effect of pacing strategies in ME/CFS, we conducted this study to assess the effectiveness of pacing in PCS patients.
    Methods: We retrospectively included patients meeting the World Health Organization definition of PCS who attended the Internal Medicine Department of Angers University Hospital, France between June 2020 and June 2022, and were followed up until December 2022. Pacing strategies were systematically proposed for all patients. Their medical records were reviewed and data related to baseline and follow-up assessments were collected. This included epidemiological characteristics, COVID-19 symptoms and associated conditions, fatigue features, perceived health status, employment activity, and the degree of pacing adherence assessed by the engagement in pacing subscale (EPS). Recovery was defined as the ability to return to work, and improvement was regarded as the reduction of the number and severity of symptoms.
    Results: A total of 86 patients were included and followed-up for a median time of 10 [6-13] months. Recovery and improvement rates were 33.7% and 23.3%, respectively. The EPS score was the only variable significantly associated with recovery on multivariate analysis (OR 40.43 [95% CI 6.22-262.6], p < 0.001). Patients who better adhered to pacing (high EPS scores) experienced significantly higher recovery and improvement rates (60-33.3% respectively) than those with low (5.5-5.5% respectively), or moderate (4.3-17.4% respectively) scores.
    Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that pacing is effective in the management of patients with PCS, and that high levels of adherence to pacing are associated with better outcomes.

    Abstract The presence of vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells in bone marrow aspirates is a key feature of vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome. The mere observation of vacuolated progenitor cells is not specific to VEXAS syndrome; in this Viewpoint, we point out the causes to be considered in this situation. Vacuoles, in particular, can be observed in individuals with wild-type UBA1 and with persistent inflammatory features or myelodysplastic syndromes. However, several clues support the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome in the presence of vacuolated bone marrow progenitors: a high number of vacuolated progenitors and of vacuoles per cell, the predominance of vacuoles in early rather than late progenitors, and the vacuolisation of both myeloid and erythroid progenitors with predominance of myeloid ones. Some criteria derived from these observations have been proposed with great diagnostic performances. However, the absence or a low proportion of vacuolated cells should not prevent UBA1 gene sequencing.
