Longitudinally extensive myelitis with 15 or more vertebrae in length is extremely rare, with limited evidence regarding clinical features and therapeutic response. We report a case of a 29-year-old male patient with extremely longitudinally extensive myelitis ultimately diagnosed as myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disease (MOGAD). The patient presented with an acute onset of meningismus, limb weakness, sensory disturbance below the C5 level, ataxia, and urinary retention.

Catalytic antibodies possess a dual function that enables both antigen recognition and degradation. However, their time-consuming preparation is a significant drawback. This study developed a new method for quickly converting mice monoclonal antibodies into catalytic antibodies using site-directed mutagenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Kidney transplant recipients often experience osteoporosis and sarcopenia, which can affect their health, but studies on this relationship are limited.

  • Key findings indicated that factors affecting bone mineral density include age, sex, kidney function, and muscle mass, but prior dialysis history did not impact bone density post-transplant.
