There has been reported a case of severe exacerbation of chronic renal failure with bilateral hydronephrosis and urosepsis, which was caused by asymptomatic large urinary bladder stone. Life-threatening symptoms of uraemic syndrome were found, which required temporary hemodialysis treatment. Following removal of the calculus and controlling of severe urinary tract infection the patient was discharged with stable blood serum creatinine concentration 3.8 mg/dl.

Purpose: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive fibrotic lung disorder characterized by dry cough, fatigue, and exacerbated dyspnea. The prognosis of IPF is notably unfavorable, becoming extremely poor when the disease advances acutely. Effective therapeutic intervention is essential to mitigate disease progression; hence, early diagnosis and treatment are paramount.

Background: Stress is a common modifiable risk factor for AD, which increases dementia risk 2-fold. During the stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is activated which stimulates the release of stress hormones called glucocorticoids into the blood stream. Studies on early-life stress have shown a glucocorticoid dependent vulnerability towards late-life inflammation.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands as the predominant form of dementia worldwide. The pathogenesis of AD encompasses elevated brain levels of amyloid-β oligomers (AβOs), recognized as central neurotoxins linked to AD. The accumulation of AβOs is neurotoxic, resulting in detrimental effects such as synapse loss, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impairment of proteostasis mechanisms.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious societal concern and is considered a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. Identifying shared pathological mediators that contribute to the progression of AD following TBI may allow therapeutic targeting to reduce the likelihood of developing AD following TBI. Cerebrovascular dysfunction is present in both AD and TBI, and thrombin has been implicated as a mediator of cerebrovascular dysfunction and inflammation.
