Introduction: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease caused by dysfunction or lack of the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) protein. The true prevalence of HAE, and whether this prevalence differs across regions, is uncertain.
Methods: To estimate the prevalence of HAE worldwide, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed.
Purpose: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a devastating complication of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). It is critical to better understand the risk factors, natural history, and treatment outcomes, including patients in a modern cohort.
Methods: In this single center retrospective cohort study, we identified patients with MBC and LMD who received care from 2000 to 2024 and abstracted key clinical, treatment, and survival data.
Background: Many studies reporting neonatal outcomes in birth centers include births with risk factors not acceptable for birth center care using the evidence-based CABC criteria. Accurate comparisons of outcomes by birth setting for low-risk patients are needed.
Methods: Data from the public Natality Detailed File from 2018 to 2021 were used.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant cardiovascular disease that restricts blood flow, resulting in massive cell death and leading to stiff and noncontractile fibrotic scar tissue formation. Recently, sustained oxygen release in the MI area has shown regeneration ability; however, improving its therapeutic efficiency for regenerative medicine remains challenging. Here, a combinatorial strategy for cardiac repair by developing cardioprotective and oxygenating hybrid hydrogels that locally sustain the release of stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF) and oxygen for simultaneous activation of neovascularization at the infarct area is presented.
