Article Abstract
Due to its rarity and the limited literature, the clinicopathological characteristics of peripheral nerve involvement in immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease are unknown. We present two cases of IgG4-related disease, accompanied by peripheral neuropathy, presenting as unilateral ptosis (case 1) and sclerosing cholangitis (case 2), respectively. In both cases, sural nerve biopsy indicated vasculitis as the underlying pathophysiology; the peripheral neuropathy was refractory to corticosteroid therapy. In contrast to the previously proposed pathomechanism of IgG4-related neuropathy (direct lymphoplasmacytic infiltration), the pathological findings in our cases suggest that vasculitis occurs secondary to systemic autoimmune conditions.

First-line treatment options for metastatic urothelial carcinoma: balancing efficacy, safety, and individual values and preferences through shared decision making.

Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) remains a disease with poor prognosis. While conventional platinum-based chemotherapy has long served as the standard first-line treatment, its survival benefit is limited, particularly in cisplatin-ineligible patients. The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates as part of sequential treatment has improved outcomes, with pembrolizumab, avelumab, and enfortumab vedotin (EV) providing survival benefit in later lines.

Immune-mediated toxicity from the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is very common and can affect both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Given the potentially serious side effects, clinicians must maintain a high level of vigilance. The aim of this clinical review is to describe neurotoxic complications associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer treatment.

Background: Body Perception Disturbances (BPD) are common in chronic limb pain conditions characterised by negative feelings toward the limb and a reduced sense of agency. Prior research has focused on isolated associations between psychological factors, pain hypersensitivity and BPD. Therefore, an integrated examination of the interconnections between these variables within a theory-driven model is necessary.

Background: Despite a surge in neuropathic pain (NP) biomarker research over the past 2 decades, the translation of discoveries into clinical practice remains slow. To understand this translational gap, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the field's evolution, intellectual structure, and strategic challenges.
Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of NP biomarker-related publications from 2004 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database.
