Setting: This study occurred in a designated block room at St.
Background: Patients with blood, immune, or metabolic diseases may require a stem cell transplant as part of their treatment. However, 70% of patients do not have a suitable human leukocyte antigen match in their family, and need an unrelated donor. Individuals can register as potential donors at stem cell drives, where they provide consent and a tissue sample for human leukocyte antigen typing.

- * The study explores how FGF21, a hormone that regulates lipids and glucose, influences CYP3A4 expression in NAFLD, revealing high FGF21 levels correlate with reduced enzyme activity.
- * Results indicate that FGF21 affects nuclear localization of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), a regulator of CYP3A4, suggesting that the FGF21-PXR pathway contributes to impaired drug metabolism in NAFLD.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious disease with high case fatality and morbidity. Early cerebral infarction has been suggested as a risk factor for poor outcome. We aimed to assess the pattern of early and delayed cerebral infarction after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
