Maintaining precise levels of FRG1 is vital. It's over-expression is tied to muscular dystrophy, while reduced levels are linked to tumorigenesis. Despite extensive efforts to characterize FRG1 expression and downstream molecular signaling, a comprehensive understanding of its regulation has remained elusive.

Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects approximately .25%-3% of children, and if left untreated, can cause significant impairment for the child and family. Cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for pediatric OCD.

A 38-year-old woman with papillary carcinoma of the thyroid who underwent total thyroidectomy followed by high-dose radioiodine ablation was called for Iodine-131 (I-131) whole-body follow-up scan. Her follow-up scan revealed focal tracer accumulation in the lower aspect of the right posterior neck region. Her stimulated serum thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies were 0.

Background: Evidence of the association between AMplitude Spectral Area (AMSA) of ventricular fibrillation and outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is limited to short-term follow-up. In this study, we assess whether AMSA can stratify the risk of death or poor neurological outcome at 30 days and 1 year after OHCA in patients with an initial shockable rhythm or with an initial non-shockable rhythm converted to a shockable one.

Methods: This is a multicentre retrospective study of prospectively collected data in two European Utstein-based OHCA registries.

Article Synopsis
  • Small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially miRNAs, are crucial for many biological processes related to both health and disease, and they can move between different cell compartments.
  • This study discovered piRNAs (a type of ncRNA) in mitochondria for the first time, highlighting a significant link between mitochondria and piRNA pathways across various mouse tissues.
  • The research also identified both shared and unique mitochondrial miRNAs (mitomiRs) in different tissues, which may be tied to the fundamental or context-specific functions of mitochondria, providing valuable insights for future studies on ncRNA regulation and mitochondrial roles.
