Retinal dystrophies simulating geographic atrophy: A diagnostic challenge

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Geographic atrophy (GA) is the chronic loss of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris, marking the dry late stage of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). GA prevalence is expected to rise in the upcoming decades. Advanced GA leads to central scotomas, reducing visual acuity and quality of life, potentially resulting

Secondary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Kidney International, 1995
A 37-year-old man was transferred to Brigham and Women's Hospital for evaluation of progressive renal failure. His medical history was notable for intravenous drug use and heavy ethanol consumption but he denied their use for the last 7 years. He had had at least one bout of alcoholic hepatitis, which was diagnosed about 8 years previously. The patient

Australian consensus recommendations for the management of increased meningococcal infection risk in adults with neurological diseases treated with complement inhibitors

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Complement inhibitor therapy carries a risk of serious infections, including meningococcal disease. Here we provide evidence‐based recommendations and expert consensus for immunisation and prophylactic treatment of patients receiving, or planning to receive, complement inhibitors for neurological conditions in the Australian setting.

Renal and Functional Vulnerability in Hansen Disease: A Framework for Chronic Infectious Disability in Endemic Settings

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Hansen disease is a neglected infectious disease associated with reactional inflammation, neuropathy and long‐term disability. Renal involvement and sarcopenia have been described separately, but their clinical coexistence has received limited attention. This review examines evidence for a hypothesised renal–functional vulnerability

Pathogenesis and approaches to therapy of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [PDF]

, 1976
In 1965, it was observed that patients with glomerulonephritis with persistently low serum concentrations of C3 evolved to have similar glomerular morphologic characteristics, particularly recognizable in biopsy specimens stained by the Jones methenamine

Urotensin II Receptor Deletion Mitigates Kidney Injury and Renal Lipid Remodeling in Mice Fed a Long‐Term High‐Fat Diet

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

Successful Control of Late‐Onset Nephrotic Syndrome in FN1‐Associated Fibronectin Glomerulopathy: A 17‐Year Clinical Course

Nephrology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fibronectin glomerulopathy (FNG) is a rare renal disorder characterized by excessive glomerular fibronectin deposition, often associated with variants in the fibronectin 1 (FN1) gene. Clinically, FNG presents with proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension, and may progress to end‐stage kidney disease.
