Article Synopsis
- Exfoliation Syndrome (XFS) is an age-related condition affecting the eye, leading to the accumulation of fibrillar materials that can cause Exfoliation Glaucoma (XFG), a form of secondary open-angle glaucoma.
- XFG is linked to neurodegenerative disease features and characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, including impaired energy production and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in affected cells.
- Research shows that treating XFG patient-derived cells with agents like Urolithin A and Nicotinamide Ribose can help improve mitochondrial function and reduce ROS, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for XFG.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of legacy and next-generation PFAS on fetal growth and fetoplacental hemodynamics in a cohort of 747 pregnant women in Barcelona.
- It measures various PFAS levels in maternal plasma, evaluates fetal growth via ultrasounds, and uses Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow dynamics.
- Findings indicate potential links between legacy PFAS exposure and decreased fetal growth, although most associations are not statistically significant; future research is needed to explore next-generation PFAS effects.
Background: Torture has traditionally been described in the context of politically motivated abuse. Torture of children in the familial context is a less studied phenomenon, with scholarly articles focused on legal or medical viewpoints. Analysis from a frontline professional's perspective is virtually nonexistent in the literature.

In August 2022, the MVA-BN vaccine received emergency use authorization in the United States (US) to target at-risk groups. This study (EUPAS104386) used HealthVerity's administrative US healthcare data to generate real-world evidence for MVA-BN vaccine effectiveness and safety to prevent mpox disease in men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women, the most affected population during the 2022 mpox outbreak.
