Bartter Syndrome With Recurrent Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis: A Case Report.

Hypokalemia is known to manifest as neurological weakness and cardiac rhythm disturbances. Severe hypokalemia can be life-threatening and needs prompt recognition and management. However, the workup for hypokalemia is equally essential to prevent future recurrences and complications.

Bioinformatics analysis reveals four major hexon variants of human adenovirus type-3 (HAdV-3) as the potential strains for development of vaccine and siRNA-based therapeutics against HAdV-3 respiratory infections.

Human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) encompasses 15-87% of all adenoviral respiratory infections. The significant morbidity and mortality, especially among the neonates and immunosuppressed patients, demand the need for a vaccine or a targeted antiviral against this type. However, due to the existence of multiple hexon variants (3Hv-1 to 3Hv-25), the selection of vaccine strains of HAdV-3 is challenging.

Synthesis and evaluation of the antimalarial, anticancer, and caspase 3 activities of tetraoxane dimers.

The synthesis of a range of mono spiro and dispiro 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane dimers is described. Selected molecules were examined in in vitro assays to determine their antimalarial and anticancer potential. Our studies reveal that several molecules possess potent nanomolar antimalarial and single digit micromolar antiproliferative IC(50)s versus colon (HT29-AK and leukemia (HL60) cell lines.
