Ferroptosis is a targetable detrimental factor in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

There is an unmet clinical need for pharmacologic treatment for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Hepatocyte cell death is a hallmark of this highly prevalent chronic liver disease, but the dominant type of cell death remains uncertain. Here we report that ferroptosis, an iron-catalyzed mode of regulated cell death, contributes to MASLD.

Disseminated Lodderomyces elongisporus and Pantoea dispersa: A Rare Dual Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient.

With the advancement of modern medicine and the prolonged survival of critically ill patients, unusual organisms are increasingly emerging. Initially found in the environment, these rare organisms started presenting as human pathogens, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a rare case of disseminated fungemia and  bacteremia in a patient with parapneumonic effusion and ruptured liver abscess.

A guide to ferroptosis, the biological rust of cellular membranes.

Unprotected iron can rust due to oxygen exposure. Similarly, in our body, oxidative stress can kill cells in an iron-dependent manner, which can give rise to devastating diseases. This type of cell death is referred to as ferroptosis.

Occupational Justice: Staff Member's Understanding of the Role of Occupational Therapy within Organizations Serving Persons Experiencing Homelessness.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the understanding of occupational justice and occupational therapy's role among staff members working within organizations serving persons experiencing homelessness. A survey was developed to determine if staff ( = 43) understood what occupational therapists can do to help persons experiencing homelessness. Responses were split almost equally between agree/strongly agree and disagree/strongly disagree.
