Rett syndrome (RTT), which predominantly affects females, arises in most cases from mutations in the () gene. When MeCP2 is impaired, it disrupts the regulation of numerous genes, causing the production of dysfunctional proteins associated with various multi-systemic issues in RTT. In this review, we explore the current insights into molecular signaling related to monoamines, immune response, and mitochondrial function, and their implications for the pathophysiology of RTT.

Since 2011, indocyanine green (ICG) has been increasingly used in surgery as a diagnostic tool. Although allergic reactions to this fluorescent dye are considered rare, they can result in anaphylactic shock. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman who developed anaphylaxis immediately after ICG administration during laparoscopic-assisted high anterior resection.

Acute adverse reactions to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are a major concern, as autopsy reports indicate that deaths most commonly occur on the same day of or one day following vaccination. These acute reactions may be due to cytokine storms triggered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and anaphylaxis induced by polyethene glycol (PEG), both of which are vital constituents of the mRNA-LNP vaccines. Kounis syndrome, in which anaphylaxis triggers acute coronary syndrome (ACS), may also be responsible for these cardiovascular events.

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly considered a safe drug to mitigate bleeding during and after various surgical settings among adults and children. In recent decades, anaphylaxis induced by TXA has been increasingly reported in adults. However, among pediatrics, there are fewer reported cases.

: Urticaria is a common disease with a marked influence on quality of life. The key cell involved is the mast cell, which can be activated by a vast variety of stimuli, and the major mediator is histamine. Allergic urticaria is a disorder with a large variety of causes: food, drugs, insect venom, skin contact with allergens, and physical exercise.
