Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. We presented PLSVC in a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis. The left internal jugular vein was utilized for central venous access due to difficult central vascular access, resulting in a diagnosis of PLSVC draining in the left atrium.

Unlabelled: We present the case of a 63-year-old female diagnosed with atypical SSc in the setting of acute SRC. She was undergoing work-up for progressive dyspnoea in the outpatient setting when she was found to have newly diagnosed restrictive lung pathology and worsening renal function, thus prompting acute hospital admission. Given multisystem involvement of the pulmonary and renal systems, the differential diagnosis included autoimmune and connective tissue disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected vulnerable populations, especially those with severe mental illnesses, who face higher risks and often lack prioritized vaccination strategies.
  • A study found that while 80% of surveyed countries have nationalized healthcare, only 26% included mental health professionals in their advisory groups for vaccination priorities, with most focusing on physical health conditions like cancer and diabetes.
  • The findings highlight the urgent need for better integration of mental health considerations in public health policies, particularly during health crises like COVID-19, as patients with mental illnesses have been largely neglected.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease with an underlying pathology characterized by inflammation-driven neuronal loss, axonal injury, and demyelination. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase and member of the TEC family of kinases, is involved in the regulation, migration, and functional activation of B cells and myeloid cells in the periphery and the central nervous system (CNS), cell types which are deemed central to the pathology contributing to disease progression in MS patients. Herein, we describe the discovery of BIIB129 (), a structurally distinct and brain-penetrant targeted covalent inhibitor (TCI) of BTK with an unprecedented binding mode responsible for its high kinome selectivity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to increase the shelf life of a specific fruit by using green synthesized Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) made from plant extracts and magnesium nitrate solutions.
  • Different nanoparticle sizes were characterized using methods like SEM and XRD, revealing that those with a crystal size of 28.60 nm had strong antimicrobial properties against common spoilage microbes.
  • Applying 28.60 nm MgO NPs to packaging (T1) at a cool temperature (4 °C) effectively extended the fruit's shelf life by an average of 20 days.

Background: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an inflammatory biomarker that is used to predict mortality, readmission, early discharge, and LOS, thus, serves as a useful tool for ED physicians. Our study aims to analyze the efficacy of suPAR in predicting these prognostic markers in ED.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive search on 6 databases from the inception to 30th November 2022, to select the following eligibility criteria; a) observation or triage trial studies investigating the role of suPAR levels in predicting: 30 day and 90-day mortality, 30-day readmission, early discharge (within 24hr), and LOS in patients coming to AMU.

This study aims to demonstrate the impact of renewable energy consumption (REC) on environmental degradation using the EKC hypothesis testing for the BRIC and G-7 countries. Two EKC models were created and tested, with Model 2 including REC and other independent variables such as economic freedom (EF) and economic policy uncertainty (EPU), which affect the level of renewable energy consumption and CO emissions. Empirical findings indicate that the EKC hypothesis is verified faster in the REC-EF-EPU-based EKC model (Model 2) than in the EF-EPU-based EKC model (Model 1) for G-7 countries since the turning point takes place earlier in Model 2 than in Model 1 with REC.

Background: Personalised airway clearance techniques are commonly recommended to augment mucus clearance in chronic suppurative lung diseases. It is unclear what current literature tells us about how airway clearance regimens should be personalised. This scoping review explores current research on airway clearance technique in chronic suppurative lung diseases, to establish the extent and type of guidance in this area, identify knowledge gaps and determine the factors which physiotherapists should consider when personalising airway clearance regimens.
