The lens epithelium derived growth factor of 75 kD (LEDGF/p75) is a transcription co-activator and epigenetic reader that has emerged as a stress oncoprotein in multiple human cancers. Growing evidence indicates that it promotes tumor cell survival against certain therapeutic drugs. The amino (N)-terminal region of LEDGF/p75 contains a PWWP domain that reads methylated histone marks, critical for recognizing transcriptionally active chromatin sites.

Article Synopsis
- POEMS syndrome is a rare condition caused by problems in plasma cells and has five main features: nerve issues, organ enlargement, hormone problems, a specific type of protein in the blood, and skin changes.
- In a study that included 46 patients from Latin America, researchers found that all had nerve problems, and many had skin changes and organ enlargement, with a median time of 7.7 months to get diagnosed.
- The survival rate for patients was really good, with all patients who had a transplant still alive, suggesting that treatment in Latin America is effective and similar to other parts of the world.
Background And Objectives: Legalization of medical marijuana has increased unintentional exposure to marijuana in young children. We aim to explore the sociodemographic disadvantage profile, prevalence, and clinical presentation of children diagnosed with unintentional exposure to marijuana.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart abstraction of 121 children (aged 0-6) seen at the Emergency Department (ED) at a single tertiary hospital center in Dayton, Ohio between January 01, 2010 and January 09, 2022.
