A Rare Case of Pulmonary Edema Secondary to Hydrochlorothiazide Use.

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema has been reported as a rare adverse reaction of hydrochlorothiazide. Symptoms can develop acutely after medication ingestion, and patients may present acutely ill. The mechanism by which hydrochlorothiazide causes pulmonary edema remains unknown and is considered idiosyncratic.

Expanding telehealth options during the COVID pandemic eliminated racial and age disparities in electronic communication by inflammatory bowel disease patients.

Background: Electronic messaging and telemedicine visits increased during the COVID pandemic. African-Americans and older patients have less frequently used electronic messaging with their physicians. This study compares the utilization of virtual health care before and during the COVID pandemic for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

Xenopus laevis as a model system to study cytoskeletal dynamics during axon pathfinding.

The model system, Xenopus laevis, has been used in innumerable research studies and has contributed to the understanding of multiple cytoskeletal components, including actin, microtubules, and neurofilaments, during axon pathfinding. Xenopus developmental stages have been widely characterized, and the Xenopus genome has been sequenced, allowing gene expression modifications through exogenous molecules. Xenopus cell cultures are ideal for long periods of live imaging because they are easily obtained and maintained, and they do not require special culture conditions.
