Article Synopsis
- * A patient with a history of Behcet's disease developed acute NBD after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer, presenting symptoms like headache and muscle weakness.
- * Following successful steroid treatment for NBD and subsequent surgery for breast cancer, the patient remains cancer-free and without recurrence of NBD two years later, highlighting the need for careful chemotherapy selection in such cases.
Article Synopsis
- Pectus excavatum (PE) can lead to breathing issues, especially in patients like a 74-year-old woman with a history of the condition and oropharyngeal cancer surgery.
- After experiencing breathing difficulties, imaging revealed severe PE and a narrowed right main bronchus.
- A Nuss procedure was successfully performed to repair PE and relieve bronchial stenosis, resulting in improved structure observed on follow-up CT scans and reduced shortness of breath.
Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed data from the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2004 to 2020, identifying 36,422 reports of AD- or AP-induced hyponatremia/SIADH, finding that most psychotropic drugs except clozapine were linked to this condition.
- * The onset of hyponatremia/SIADH was quicker with ADs compared to APs, highlighting the need
Magnetic nanoparticle-incorporated liposomes (magnetic liposomes) are considered a promising site-specific drug delivery carrier vehicle. With regard to their surface charge, magnetic anionic liposomes (Mag-AL) demonstrate little toxicity in comparison with magnetic cationic liposomes (Mag-CL), whereas their cellular association and uptake efficiency are low. In the current study, we constructed complexes of Mag-AL and atelocollagen (ATCOL), which is a biocompatible and minimally immunogenic biomaterial, to improve the cellular uptake properties of Mag-AL in vitro and in vivo.

Human placental cells produce leptin, whereas murine placental cells produce soluble leptin receptors (Ob-R). However, the roles of these proteins during pregnancy have not been elucidated completely.
