SIADH and mixed delirium following the abrupt cessation of long-acting benzodiazepines: a case report.

Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are among the most commonly used medications due to their efficacy and rapid onset of action. Although they offer significant therapeutic benefits in treating various psychiatric and neurological conditions, their clinical utility is limited by substantial risks, including dependency and withdrawal symptoms. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) has been linked to BZD withdrawal.

A novel tool using social and environmental determinants of health to assess pediatric asthma in the emergency department.

Asthma, the most common chronic disease in children, affects more than 4 million children in the United States, disproportionately affecting those who are economically disadvantaged and racial and ethnic minorities. Studies have shown that the racial and ethnic disparities in asthma outcomes can be largely explained by environmental, socioeconomic and other social determinants of health (SDoH). Utilizing new approaches to stratify disease severity and risk, which focus on the underlying SDoH that lead to asthma disparity, provides an opportunity to disentangle race and ethnicity from its confounding social determinants.

Collecting Sociodemographic Data in Pediatric Emergency Research: A Working Group Consensus.

Understanding and addressing health care disparities relies on collecting and reporting accurate data in clinical care and research. Data regarding a child's race, ethnicity, and language; sexual orientation and gender identity; and socioeconomic and geographic characteristics are important to ensure equity in research practices and reported outcomes. Disparities are known to exist across these sociodemographic categories.

Microglial responses to inflammatory challenge in adult rats altered by developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls in a sex-specific manner.

Polychlorinated biphenyls are ubiquitous environmental contaminants linkedc with peripheral immune and neural dysfunction. Neuroimmune signaling is critical to brain development and later health; however, effects of PCBs on neuroimmune processes are largely undescribed. This study extends our previous work in neonatal or adolescent rats by investigating longer-term effects of perinatal PCB exposure on later neuroimmune responses to an inflammatory challenge in adulthood.

Cellular adaptation to cancer therapy along a resistance continuum.

Advancements in precision oncology over the past decades have led to new therapeutic interventions, but the efficacy of such treatments is generally limited by an adaptive process that fosters drug resistance. In addition to genetic mutations, recent research has identified a role for non-genetic plasticity in transient drug tolerance and the acquisition of stable resistance. However, the dynamics of cell-state transitions that occur in the adaptation to cancer therapies remain unknown and require a systems-level longitudinal framework.
