ULK4 and CDKN2A polymorphisms influence the risk of developing monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic precursor to multiple myeloma, sharing substantial genetic features with overt malignancy. Given evidence implicating autophagy in myeloma risk, this study examined whether genetic variations in autophagy‐related genes influence MGUS susceptibility.

Dual-Energy SPECT and the Development of Peptide p5+14 for Imaging Amyloidosis

Molecular Imaging, 2017
Amyloidosis is associated with a number of rare diseases and is characterized by the deposition, in abdominothoracic organs and peripheral nerves, of extracellular protein fibrils, which leads to dysfunction and severe morbidity.

The Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion‐Tensor‐Imaging (DTI) and Structural MRI in the Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis: A Review

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting older adults, with approximately 7.2 million cases only in the United States. This number is projected to increase to 13.8 million in the United States by 2060, leading to increased expenditures for healthcare, long‐term care and hospice services. Consequently,

Significant kidney impairment in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease and practice points for pediatric gastroenterologists

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing kidney disorders, which may cause significant kidney function impairment (SKI) or lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study we aimed to provide insights in causes and diagnoses of SKI cases and to provide recommendations for pediatric ...

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory
