A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

An antibody raised against a pathogenic serpin variant induces mutant-like behaviour in the wild-type protein. [PDF]

, 2015
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to a transient intermediate may act as a catalyst for the corresponding reaction; here we show this principle can extend on a macro-molecular scale to the induction of mutant-like oligomerisation in a wild-type ...

Alpha 1 antitrypsin distribution in an allergic asthmatic population sensitized to house dust mites

Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2018
Background and objective Severe alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency has been clearly associated with pulmonary emphysema, but its relationship with bronchial asthma remains controversial. Some deficient alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) genotypes seem to be associated

Narrative Review on Therapies That Influence Inflammatory Responses During Extremely Premature Perinatal Respiratory Transition

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims and Methods Advances in neonatal care have extended borderline survival to 22–24 post‐conceptional weeks. Present review discusses approaches for prolonging short pregnancies and prevention of serious morbidities in extremely premature infants born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the misfolding mechanisms of secretion‐defective pancreatic lipase variants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

High BMI and COPD Outcomes in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin DeficiencyTake-Home Points

CHEST Pulmonary
Background: Elevations in BMI impact morbidity in patients with COPD in general, but little is known about its impact in patients with COPD due to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD-COPD).

How I Investigate Bleeding Disorders of Unknown Cause: Current Diagnostic Pathways and Gaps in Laboratory Investigation

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) constitutes the largest group of patients presenting with a mild‐to‐moderate bleeding tendency in tertiary care settings. Their clinical bleeding phenotype is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, as well as bleeding following surgical challenges or childbirth, and is associated with impaired health‐

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated panniculitis: a case report

Zdravniški Vestnik
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary disorder with predominantly pulmonary but also extrapulmonary manifestations. In the skin, it is associated with panniculitis, a necrotizing neutrophilic inflammation in the subcutis. Clinically, it presents

AI‐Assisted Literature Mining Reveals Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity and Progression Trajectories of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes in Coronary Heart Disease in China

Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the centrality of syndrome differentiation in guiding personalized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interventions for coronary heart disease (CHD), existing studies of TCM syndrome distribution are constrained by fragmented methodologies and limited spatiotemporal resolution. In this study, we employed an artificial intelligence (AI)‐
