Staphylococcus aureus has evolved mechanisms to cope with low iron (Fe) availability in host tissues. Staphylococcus aureus uses the ferric uptake transcriptional regulator (Fur) to sense titers of cytosolic Fe. Upon Fe depletion, apo-Fur relieves transcriptional repression of genes utilized for Fe uptake.

- * Results showed that about 73% of patients achieved substantial seizure reduction, with better outcomes for those with acquired epilepsy compared to those with developmental issues, although some experienced new cognitive deficits post-surgery.
- * Common complications included diabetes insipidus and hydrocephalus, but many patients still remained seizure-free despite some having incomplete disconnection of brain regions.

Article Synopsis
- Parathyroid carcinoma (PTTC) is a rare type of cancer that can occur with kidney-related parathyroid problems, but it's not very common.
- Researchers looked at 48 cases of PTTC over many years to see how these patients did.
- They found that surgery to remove the cancer along with affected glands gives the best chance to get rid of it, but some patients still had issues later on.

Partial or complete imaging resolution of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has gone by many names in the past few decades, including LV recovery, remission, reverse remodeling, and, most recently, improvement. This phenomenon has been described in a variety of clinical scenarios, including removal of an acute myocardial insult, unloading with durable LV assist devices, and treatment with various devices as well as pharmacotherapies, termed guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Irrespective of definition, systolic improvement is associated with improved clinical outcomes compared to persistent systolic dysfunction.
