Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder primarily affecting exocrine glands, leading to symptoms such as dry mouth and dry eyes. While SS can occur as a primary condition, it may overlap with other autoimmune diseases, complicating management. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), a liver disorder characterized by elevated serum globulins and liver-specific autoantibodies, can co-occur with SS, although this overlap is rare.

Introduction: Enfortumab vedotin (EV) and Erdafitinib are effective therapeutic drugs for bladder cancer patients following post-chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This study assessed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) from both drugs, comparing their safety profiles to guide clinical use.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted on ADR reports for EV and Erdafitinib from the World Health Organization (WHO)-VigiAccess database.

Hydrogels with mechanical performances similar to load-bearing tissues are in demand for in vivo applications. In this work, inspired by the self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic polymers, polyurethane-based tough hydrogels with a multiple hydrogen-bond interlocked bicontinuous phase structure through in situ water-induced microphase separation strategy are developed, in which poly(ethylene glycol)-based polyurethane (PEG-PU, hydrophilic) and poly(ε-caprolactone)-based polyurethane (PCL-PU, hydrophobic) are blended to form dry films followed by water swelling. A multiple hydrogen bonding factor, imidazolidinyl urea, is introduced into the synthesis of the two polyurethanes, and the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds between PEG-PU and PCL-PU can promote homogeneous microphase separation for the construction of bicontinuous phase structures in the hydrogel network, by which the hydrogel features break strength of 12.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the clear cell type is the most common form of renal malignancy. Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) as the initial presentation of RCC is very rare. This case report presents a case of RCC that initially manifested as a pleural effusion, without the typical symptoms of flank pain, hematuria, or a palpable abdominal mass.
