Article Synopsis
- Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a major complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage from aneurysms, but its molecular causes are not well understood.
- Researchers used RNA sequencing to analyze genes from samples of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) to find differences between cases with and without vasospasm.
- They identified several dysregulated genes and revealed a pattern of gene expression linked to the progression of aneurysm development and vasospasm, offering new insights for future research in this area.
Traditional markers evaluate anti-tubercular drug-induced liver injury (AT-DILI). However, these markers have certain limitations and studies are in progress to characterize AT-DILI at an early stage. In the present study, 40 patients were categorized and equally distributed into healthy controls, newly diagnosed tuberculosis (TB), TB without hepatotoxicity and TB with hepatotoxicity groups based on their conventional liver function tests.

Objective: We evaluated the UBT model implemented by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services in partnership with its union to engage frontline staff in improving patient care.
Design: We conducted a quasi-experimental study, comparing surveys at baseline and 6 months, among personnel in 10 clinics who received UBT training to personnel in 5 control clinics.
