Purpose: To correlate the clinical, electrophysiological, and immunohistochemical findings in patients suffering from carcinoma-associated retinopathy.
Methods: Four patients with visual loss were included in this retrospective, observational consecutive case series. Electrophysiology and immunohistochemical analysis were performed to confirm the diagnosis of carcinoma-associated retinopathy.
Results: Immunohistochemistry revealed a marked interindividual variability of antibody reactions against different retinal cell layers of individual patients. The electrophysiological changes corresponded to the respective immunohistochemical findings.
Conclusion: Carcinoma-associated retinopathy is a heterogeneous disease, caused by different antiretinal antibodies and leading to different electrophysiological abnormalities. Diagnosis should not be delayed as undetected and thus untreated malignancy can be the cause.

Arrhythmia is a common and serious global health problem, contributing to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The cardiac muscle is susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, which can lead to fatal arrhythmias during open-heart surgery. We investigated the potential prophylactic effect of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) using an in vivo rat model of I/R injury and examined the underlying mechanisms.

Cardiovascular involvement in Leishmania sp. infections still requires further elucidation, with cutaneous and organic changes being more frequently observed. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of cardiovascular involvement in dogs with canine visceral leishmaniasis, considering a publication span of over 80 years.

Diverse retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) transmit distinct visual features from the eye to the brain. Recent studies have categorized RGCs into 45 types in mice based on transcriptomic profiles, showing strong alignment with morphological and electrophysiological properties. However, little is known about how these types are spatially arranged on the two-dimensional retinal surface-an organization that influences visual encoding-and how their local microenvironments impact development and neurodegenerative responses.

While hypothalamic kisspeptin (KP) neurons play well-established roles in the estrogen-dependent regulation of reproduction, little is known about extrahypothalamic KP-producing (KP) neurons of the lateral septum. As established previously, expression in this region is low and regulated by estrogen receptor- and GABA receptor-dependent mechanisms. Our present experiments on knock-in mice revealed that transgene expression in the LS begins at P33-36 in females and P40-45 in males and is stimulated by estrogen receptor signaling.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the combination of amyloid beta and tau pathologies affects neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease using a new transgenic rat model (McGill-R-APPxhTau).
- Initial findings suggest that early exposure to both amyloid and phosphorylated tau can temporarily improve synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions, contrasting with the negative effects observed in models with only one of these pathologies.
- However, as the disease progresses, the combined presence of amyloid and tau leads to severe cognitive decline, increased neuroinflammation, and neuronal loss, indicating that the protective effects of tau are short-lived.
