CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a rare neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by mutations in the X-linked CDKL5 gene. Hundreds of pathogenic variants have been described, associated with a significant phenotypic heterogeneity observed among patients. To date, different knockout mouse models have been generated.

Article Synopsis
  • A study looked at people with HIV who had resistance to four types of medicine and found that 12% of them were likely to develop cancer within eight years.
  • They discovered that the risk of cancer was higher if a person had more virus in their blood and if they were assigned male at birth.
  • The researchers suggested that it's important to focus on keeping the virus levels low and doing regular health checks to prevent cancer in these patients.

Background: Undifferentiated shock is recognized as a criticality state that is transitional in immune-mediated topology for casual risk of lethal microcirculatory dysfunction. This was a sensitivity analysis of a drug (tetracosactide; TCS10) targeting melanocortin receptors (MCRs) in a phase 3 randomized controlled trial to improve cardiovascular surgical rescue outcome by reversing mortality and hemostatic disorders.

Methods: Sensitivity analysis was based on a randomized, two-arm, multicenter, double-blind, controlled trial.

This preclinical proof-of-concept study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of secretome therapy in diabetic mice with pressure ulcers. We utilized a custom-made hyaluronic acid (HA)-based porous sponge, which was rehydrated either with normal culture medium or secretome derived from human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to achieve a hydrogel consistency. Following application onto skin ulcers, both the hydrogel-only and the hydrogel + secretome combination accelerated wound closure compared to the vehicle group.

Background: To clarify whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be useful for resistance assessment in virologically suppressed highly treatment-experienced (HTE) individuals with MDR HIV.

Methods: Ninety-one participants from the PRESTIGIO Registry were included. NGS was performed on HIV-DNA at 1%, 5% and 20% cut-offs; major drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were evaluated and compared with those detected in historical plasma genotypic resistance testing (h-GRT).
