An Interesting Case of Alcohol-related Myelopathy.

The most accurately described causes of alcohol-related myelopathy are cases of hepatic myelopathy, which is myelopathy in the setting of either liver cell failure or portosystemic failure resulting in toxic myelopathy in the absence of liver failure. One of the few descriptions of myelopathy completely attributed to toxic effects of alcohol or its metabolites alone is by Sage et al., who reported five patients with the condition who had no evidence of hepatic involvement, portal hypertension, or nutritional deficiency.

A new species of Pristerophora Harold, 1869 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) from Chile.

A new species of Macrodactylini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae), Pristerophora rothmanni new species, is described and illustrated based on male and female specimens collected in southern Chile. Natural history, habitat, and distributional data are given. An identification key for Pristerophora species is included.

Measuring FOXO Nuclear Shuttling Dynamics by Fluorescence Microscopy.

FOXO transcription factors respond to a number of different stresses by shuttling from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where they upregulate hundreds of target genes with diverse cellular functions. The cellular consequences of FOXO activation are both stress and cell-type specific. Recent evidence suggests that one way in which FOXO dictates stress-specific outcomes is through distinct nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling dynamics.

Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis due to in Australia.

Domestic animals are common in Australian households; however, there is little research into the potential risks these animals pose to patients undergoing in-home peritoneal dialysis (PD). Cats and dogs are known to carry many potential pathogens, including . We reviewed the ANZDATA Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis Registry for cases of peritonitis due to between 2011 and 2023.
