Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Integration of urine retinol-binding protein and genetic markers for early prediction of tacrolimus nephrotoxicity using machine learning

Translational Pediatrics
The use of tacrolimus (TAC) in clinical settings is hindered by its nephrotoxic effects, which can vary significantly among individuals. Urine retinol-binding protein (RP), as a novel biochemical marker, is a potential indicator for early detection of renal tubular injury caused by TAC. The objective was to develop and validate a machine learning model

Review Article: The Impact of the Gut Microbiome on Ulcerative Colitis Pharmacotherapy

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome modulates ulcerative colitis pharmacotherapy through microbial drug metabolism, immune regulation and altered drug bioavailability. Microbial composition influences response to aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics and small molecules, while microbiome‐targeted therapies show emerging promise.

Heterogenic bacterial resistance to low concentration of ketamine

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
AIM: We aimed to evaluate the impact of sub-inhibitory ketamine concentration on enterococcal cells including changes in b-lactam resistance. BACKGROUND: It becomes clear that not only the antimicrobial drugs, designed to stop the proliferation of ...

Review article: Immunosuppression in Decompensated Autoimmune Hepatitis Cirrhosis ‐ To Suppress or Not to Suppress?

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Individualized assessment identifies patients with decompensated autoimmune hepatitis cirrhosis who are likely to benefit from a time‐limited trial of immunosuppression versus those requiring immediate liver transplant evaluation. Early objective response monitoring (bilirubin, MELD‐Na and AST/ALT) guides continuation of immunosuppression, promotes ...

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...

PLIN5 Protects Against Ang II‐Induced Podocyte Lipotoxicity by Interacting With FKBP8 and Preserving Lipid Droplet–Mitochondria Contact

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
PLIN5‐FKBP8 tethers lipid droplets to mitochondria to counteract Ang II‐induced lipotoxicity. ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a major global health challenge. Angiotensin II (Ang II)‐induced lipotoxicity is an important contributor to podocyte injury.

Mental Health Disorders in End‐Stage Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review of Clinical Considerations for Integrated Management

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction End stage kidney disease (ESKD) is associated with a high prevalence of depression and anxiety, arising from both biological factors and the psychosocial burden of chronic dialysis care. Approximately 25%–30% of dialysis patients experience clinically significant depressive symptoms when assessed by structured clinical interview ...

Soluble Immune Checkpoints and Anti‐HLA Antibodies in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Associations With Kidney Function

Immunology, EarlyView.
Soluble immune checkpoints, anti‐HLA panel‐reactive antibodies, and kidney function parameters were evaluated to investigate their associations with early graft function. Pre‐transplant patients showed higher levels of sCD25, sPD‐L1, sTIM‐3, Gal‐9, sCD27, and sPD‐L2 than healthy controls, while post‐transplant temporal changes were observed in sCD25 ...
