Biochemical profiles of patients with COVID-19 during the first and second waves in Ethiopia.
Front Immunol

Department of Biochemistry, School of Biomedical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Nasopharyngeal swabs (NP swabs) were used for patients with COVID-19 who demonstrated serious clinical symptoms and disturbances in biochemical parameters. The biochemical profiles of these patients remain ambiguous and differ from wave to wave of COVID-19 infections.

PIKfyve (1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase), a lipid kinase, plays an important role in generating phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P). SGC-PIKFYVE-1, a potent and selective inhibitor of PIKfyve, has been used as a chemical probe to explore pathways dependent on PIKfyve activity. Based on reported changes in membrane dynamics and ion transport in response to PIKfyve inhibition, we hypothesized that pharmacological inhibition of PIKfyve could modulate pain.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been proven to prevent decline in kidney function and failure. Whether SGLT2i affect the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) remains uncertain.
Methods: Use of SGLT2i was assessed in consecutive diabetics undergoing coronary angiography (CA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January 2020 to May 2023 at a tertiary hospital in Chongqing, China.
Sequence-Dependent Repolarization Is Modulated by Endogenous Action Potential Duration Gradients Rather Than Electrical Coupling in Ventricular Myocardium.

December 2024
Graduate Program in Translational Biology Medicine and Health, Virginia Tech Roanoke VA USA.
Background: Previous studies suggest the relationship between activation time (AT) and action potential duration (APD) in the heart is dependent on electrotonic coupling, but this has not been directly tested. This study assessed whether acute changes in electrical coupling, or other determinants of conduction or repolarization, modulate APD heterogeneity.
Methods And Results: Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts were epicardially paced and optically mapped after treatment with the gap junction uncoupler carbenoxolone, ephaptic uncoupler mannitol, ephaptic enhancer dextran 2MDa, sodium channel inhibitor flecainide, or rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium channel inhibitor E4031.
Anorexia Caused by Hyperchloremic Metabolic Acidosis Following Ileal Conduit Diversion: A Case Report.

Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis is a known complication following ileal conduit urinary diversion, often arising from urinary reabsorption in the ileum, which leads to chloride retention and bicarbonate loss and, though often asymptomatic, can produce clinically significant symptoms, particularly in patients with underlying renal impairment. A 75-year-old woman with a history of bladder cancer underwent cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion and presented on postoperative day 47 with anorexia, hypotension, and weight loss; laboratory findings revealed hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with elevated serum chloride. The patient's acidosis gradually improved with sodium bicarbonate and Ringer's solution, stabilizing her blood pressure, creatinine, and acid-base balance, and she was discharged with outpatient follow-up.
