Acute kidney injury (AKI) is marked by a rapid decline in renal function, often caused by oxidative stress and nephrotoxic agents. Complications limit current therapeutic strategies, and no specific drugs are available to prevent renal injury or accelerate recovery. In the present research, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of synthesized 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives, N1 and N5, in mitigating Gentamicin (Gen) -induced renal damage in vivo zebrafish.

Article Synopsis
  • Bone marrow niches, specifically endosteal and perivascular, are crucial for normal functions and are involved in conditions like cancer cell dormancy.
  • Researchers developed a 3D in vitro model of human bone marrow using advanced microfluidic and stem cell technologies, effectively mimicking real-life bone marrow environments.
  • This new model allows for better understanding of bone marrow functions and responses to drugs by capturing dynamic events at a high resolution.

Background: Terlipressin, a long-acting synthetic analogue of vasopressin has been used in the adult population for various indications including hepatorenal syndrome (HRS-AKI), esophageal variceal hemorrhage (EVH) and shock, but its use in pediatrics is still limited to individualized cases and data on safety and efficacy is scant.

Methods: We reviewed the patient records of children with liver disease and Acute Kidney Injury requiring terlipressin admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of King's College Hospital, London from January 2010-December 2017, with special emphasis on its effect on renal parameters and adverse event profile.

Results: Twenty-one terlipressin administration records in a total of 16 patients (median) (IQR) 10 years (6.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor arising from chromaffin tissue in the adrenal medulla, occurring in less than 0.2 percent of patients with hypertension. The mean age at diagnosis is about 40 years.
