Hidradenitis Suppurativa Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Adverse Cardiac Events and All-Cause Mortality.

: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has been previously associated with greater rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) compared to the general population. This study aims to better elucidate the association between HS, MACEs, and other cardiovascular diseases. : We utilized TriNetX, a global database of electronic health records, to conduct a retrospective cohort study.

Atypical memory B cells acquire Breg phenotypes in hepatocellular carcinoma.

The functional plasticity of tumor-infiltrating B (TIL-B) cells spans from anti-tumor responses to non-canonical immune suppression. Yet, how tumor microenvironment (TME) influences TIL-B development is still underappreciated. Our current study integrated single cell transcriptomics and BCR (B cell receptor) sequencing to profile TIL-B phenotypes and clonalities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Management, Trends, and Recommendations for Intra-abdominal Lymphatic Malformations: A Single-Center Retrospective Review.

Background: Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations (ILM) are vascular anomalies that arise from the mesentery, omentum, or retroperitoneum. These may present with abdominal symptoms or may be incidentally discovered on imaging. There is not a clear consensus on management or prognosis.

Breakage fusion bridge cycles drive high oncogene number with moderate intratumoural heterogeneity.

Oncogene amplification is a key driver of cancer pathogenesis. Both breakage fusion bridge (BFB) cycles and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) can lead to high oncogene copy numbers, but the impact of BFB amplifications on intratumoral heterogeneity, treatment response, and patient survival remains poorly understood due to detection challenges with DNA sequencing. We introduce an algorithm, OM2BFB, designed to detect and reconstruct BFB amplifications using optical genome mapping (OGM).

An approach to predict and inhibit Amyloid Beta dimerization pattern in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the leading neurodegenerative diseases that affect the human population. Several hypotheses are in the pipeline to establish the commencement of this disease; however, the amyloid hypothesis is one of the most widely accepted ones. Amyloid plaques are rich in Amyloid Beta (Aβ) proteins, which are found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
