Therapeutic Options for IgA Pemphigus in Patients Refractory to Dapsone
ABSTRACT IgA pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder with limited therapeutic guidance available due to its rarity and complex presentation. This comprehensive analysis evaluates the therapeutic outcomes of 67 published patients, emphasising the significant role of dapsone as the first‐line treatment.

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments
ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

ABSTRACT Contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important cause of acute kidney injury following exposure to iodinated contrast media, and effective preventive strategies remain limited. This study investigated the renoprotective effects of riociguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, in an experimental rat model of CIN and explored machine ...
