TL;DR: A GA2LEN task force report concluded that chronic spontaneous urticaria is a “hidden epidemic” that needs to be addressed to address the unmet clinical needs of patients.
Abstract: Chronic spontaneous urticaria, formerly also known as chronic idiopathic urticaria and chronic urticaria (CU), is more common than previously thought. At any time, 0.5-1% of the population suffers from the disease (point prevalence). Although all age groups can be affected, the peak incidence is seen between 20 and 40 years of age. The duration of the disease is generally 1-5 years but is likely to be longer in more severe cases, cases with concurrent angioedema, in combination with physical urticaria or with a positive autologous serum skin test (autoreactivity). Chronic spontaneous urticaria has major detrimental effects on quality of life, with sleep deprivation and psychiatric comorbidity being frequent. It also has a large impact on society in terms of direct and indirect health care costs as well as reduced performance at work and in private life. In the majority of patients, an underlying cause cannot be identified making a causal and/or curative treatment difficult. Nonsedating H₁-antihistamines are the mainstay of symptomatic therapy, but treatment with licensed doses relieves symptoms effectively in < 50% of patients. Although guideline-recommended updosing up to fourfold increases symptom control in many patients, a substantial number of patients have only little benefit from H₁ -antihistamines. Consequently, there is a great need for new therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: It is shown that AGS can result from mutations in the genes encoding any one of its three subunits, demonstrating a role for ribonuclease H in human neurological disease and suggesting an unanticipated relationship between ribonUClease H2 and the antiviral immune response that warrants further investigation.
Abstract: Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal recessive neurological disorder, the clinical and immunological features of which parallel those of congenital viral infection. Here we define the composition of the human ribonuclease H2 enzyme complex and show that AGS can result from mutations in the genes encoding any one of its three subunits. Our findings demonstrate a role for ribonuclease H in human neurological disease and suggest an unanticipated relationship between ribonuclease H2 and the antiviral immune response that warrants further investigation.

TL;DR: The aim of this work is to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on sun-damaged skin that shows clear trends in prognosis and recommend a number of simple and effective treatments to correct these problems.
