Therapeutic potential of mitochondrial transplantation in modulating immune responses post-cardiac arrest: a narrative review.

Background: Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) has emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy, particularly effective in diseases characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction. This review synthesizes current knowledge on MTx, focusing on its role in modulating immune responses and explores its potential in treating post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS).

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive narrative review of animal and human studies that have investigated the effects of MTx in the context of immunomodulation.

IgA Nephropathy with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy with Spinal Cord Involvement in a Young Male: A Case Report.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological phenomenon commonly associated with kidney diseases, especially chronic kidney disease. A consequence of endothelial dysfunction, PRES is usually associated with uncontrolled blood pressures and can rarely have atypical radiological findings involving the brain stem and spinal cord, called posterior reversible encephalopathy with spinal cord involvement (PRES-SCI). These atypical features may be confused with other etiologies causing a delay in diagnosis and management.
