Anti-PTHrP blockade limits CD8+ T-cell exhaustion in anti-cancer immunotherapy.

Cancer is a major global health concern, with immune suppression hindering treatment. Immunotherapy, specifically immune checkpoint blockage on T cells, has revolutionized cancer treatment. T-cell exhaustion is an abnormal activation state that develops when continuous exposure to antigens, like cancer.

[Point-of-Care Blood Glucose Testing: Post-Market Performance Assessment of the Accu-Chek Inform II Hospital-Use Glucose Meter].

Background: A point-of-care glucose testing (POCT) is an essential component of care in patients with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in inpatient and outpatient settings. In Russian medical facilities (MFs), conventional glucose meters designed for self-monitoring by patients with diabetes are commonly used for POCT. These home-use meters have two serious disadvantages: the first is large measurement bias and the second - they can't be integrated into laboratory information systems, so measurement data have to be recorded into patient charts manually.

Severe kidney dysfunction in sialidosis mice reveals an essential role for neuraminidase 1 in reabsorption.

Sialidosis is an ultra-rare multisystemic lysosomal disease caused by mutations in the neuraminidase 1 (NEU1) gene. The severe type II form of the disease manifests with a prenatal/infantile or juvenile onset, bone abnormalities, severe neuropathology, and visceromegaly. A subset of these patients present with nephrosialidosis, characterized by abrupt onset of fulminant glomerular nephropathy.

[Evaluation of FreeStyle Libre in pediatric t1dm: improved glycemic control, reduction in diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia].

Background: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with glucometers provides only a snapshot of the glycemic profile and is accompanied by significant psychological discomfort and pain, especially in children. Flash Glucose Monitoring System - FreeStyle Libre (FSL) overcomes many of the barriers associated with glucose measurement and improves metabolic control.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of FSL in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in terms of glycemic control, episodes of severe hypoglycemia (SH) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
