Pool-based exercise may provide some additional benefit for pain relief in adults with fibromyalgia as compared to either land-based or no physical exercise.

Collectively, these findings suggest that pool-based exercise deserves further attention as a potential adjuvant therapeutic option for adults with fibromyalgia. PROSPERO registration number CRD42019136755.

HCSW's provide a large proportion of the basic care patients receive on the wards, in clinics and primary care. The proximity to patients attracts individuals with excellent communication skills and bedside manner, and means they are well-positioned to assist in the management of both the general wellbeing of patients and equally, to recognise the signs of a deteriorating patient making them a versatile and invaluable member of the multidisciplinary team (MDT). This piece aims to highlight the value of our time spent working as a HCSWs, thus promoting the formation of a mandatory assistantship for medical students, like that seen in Germany. Through this, essential communication skills, empathy, 'ward smarts' and an appreciation for the wider MDT can be gained in a way that typical clinical attachments and classroom teaching do not replicate.
The Lupus Damage Index Questionnaire (LDIQ) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure to assess accumulated damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We aimed to translate it into Japanese and further investigate its validity and reliability.

The English version of the LDIQ was translated into Japanese and administered to Japanese patients with SLE (
 = 259) at our university clinic. Physicians simultaneously completed the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Damage Index (SDI) and SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K). Patients were prospectively followed for a repeat assessment the following year.

The median LDIQ score was 2.0. The LDIQ demonstrated substantial correlation with the SDI but poor correlation with the SLEDAI-2K (Spearman's
 = 0.75 and -0.08, respectively). These results suggested its convergent and discriminant validity. The LDIQ demonstrated good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.85). When the effect size and standardized response mean for the LDIQ were assessed only in patients who had a change ≥1 in the SDI, they demonstrated a small to moderate responsiveness 0.43 and 0.59, respectively.

The Japanese version of the LDIQ had acceptable reliability and validity and its performance was comparable with the original version.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refers to urticaria (wheals) or angioedema, which occur for a period of six weeks or longer without an apparent cause. The condition may impair the patient's quality of life.

Treatment for CSU is mainly symptomatic. Both AAAAI/ACAAI practice parameters and EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/WAO guidelines suggest CSU management in a stepwise manner. First-line therapy is with second-generation H
-antihistamines. Treatment should be stepped up along the algorithm if symptoms are not adequately controlled. Increasing the dosage of second-generation H
-antihistamines, with the addition of first-generation H
-antihistamines, H
antagonist, omalizumab, ciclosporin A, or short-term corticosteroid may be necessary. New medications are being developed to treat refractory CSU. They include spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prostaglandin D
receptor inhibitor, H
-antihistamine, and other agents. The authors discuss these treatments and provide expert perspectives on the management of CSU.

Second-generation H
-antihistamines remain the first-line therapeutic options for the management of CSU. For patients not responding to higher-dose H
-antihistamines, international guidelines recommend the addition of omalizumab. Efficacy and safety data for newer agents are still pending. Large-scale, well-designed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will further provide evidence on the safety profile and efficacy of these agents in patients with CSU.
Second-generation H1-antihistamines remain the first-line therapeutic options for the management of CSU. For patients not responding to higher-dose H1-antihistamines, international guidelines recommend the addition of omalizumab. Efficacy and safety data for newer agents are still pending. Large-scale, well-designed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will further provide evidence on the safety profile and efficacy of these agents in patients with CSU.
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is one of the most critical chaperones amenable to mediating the folding and maturation of more than 300 client proteins. In normal cells, Hsp90 chaperone cycle is required for regulating multiple cellular processes to maintain homeostasis. However, extremely overexpressed Hsp90 in neoplastic cells results in the dysregulation of client proteins, many of which are indispensable to the accumulation of cancer hallmarks, such as infinite proliferation and increased invasiveness. Consequently, modulation of Hsp90 activity has been considered as a potential strategy for cancer treatment.

This review recapitulated recent patents' progress in the development of Hsp90 inhibitors with potent antitumor activities during 2013 to present. Besides, the structural-activity relationships of the patented inhibitors and their structural similarity were also discussed.

Hsp90, as an anticancer target, has been investigated for several decades. The first generation of Hsp90 inhibitors exhibited potent antitumor activities in preclinical trials but were trapped in different phases of clinical trials.
