Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to analyze cytokines and cardiovascular markers in the plasma of Fabry disease patients, both treated and untreated, to assess their potential in monitoring disease progression and treatment effects.
- * Researchers identified several markers associated with inflammation and endothelial dysfunction that are elevated in Fabry patients, suggesting they could be used to predict disease severity and assess treatment outcomes, despite their non-specificity to the condition.
Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (P-aHUS) is a rare disease. There are only few reports in the literature, and most are in the puerperium period. It is a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) characterized for microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction.

- Fabry disease (FD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by low levels of α-galactosidase A enzyme, leading to various complications that make diagnosis and understanding the disease more challenging.
- Researchers analyzed the plasma proteins of 50 FD patients and 50 healthy individuals and found over 30 different proteins associated with inflammation, metabolism, and other biological processes that vary based on sex.
- Notably, certain proteins like apolipoprotein A-IV were identified as strong indicators for complications like chronic kidney disease in FD patients, outperforming traditional renal markers and enhancing the potential for earlier diagnosis and better understanding of the disease.
Listeria monocytogenes, a contaminant of raw milk, includes hypervirulent clonal complexes (CC) like CC1, CC4, and CC6, highly overrepresented in dairy products when compared to other food types. Whether their higher prevalence in dairy products is the consequence of a growth advantage in this food remains unknown. We examined growth kinetics of five L.
