Background: Pediatric patients with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) are at an increased risk of arterial and venous thromboembolism (AVTE). Although the exact mechanisms underlying AVTE remain unclear, eosinophils play a pivotal role in AVTE.
Main Body: Current guidelines lack evidence-based recommendations, particularly concerning anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatments for this condition.

Background: Anticoagulants increase the risk of cardiac tamponade in patients with pericardial effusion (PE). Therefore, inappropriate administration of them in the presence of PE can lead to a catastrophic outcome. This study presents a patient with a provisional misdiagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) incidence is almost double in female than male, suggesting sex-specific AD risk genes remain unknown.
Method: We designed a statistical physics approach that exploits freely available but massive evolutionary and phylogenetic coupling data on sequence variation and speciation. These couplings lead to quantifiable values for the selection pressure exerted on the genes within a population.

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in synaptic transmission and cerebral plasticity, playing a role in the memory process. However, in states of brain inflammation, hypoxia, or ischemia, there is induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression by astrocytes and pyramidal cells in the brain. Under conditions of chronic activation, there is a decoupling of iNOS dimers, leading to a massive generation of superoxide anion and peroxynitrite, O2.

Background: Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of nucleic acids has been a transformative technology for basic and applied genomic science, increasing efficiencies and decreasing costs to enable studies of unprecedented scope and impact. In clinical settings, these technological and scientific advances have led to the development of tests that are increasingly fast, comprehensive, and more frequently employed. Practitioners of genomic medicine have applied these tools across clinical settings, including diagnosis of inherited disorders and cancers and infectious disease detection and surveillance.
