The aim of this study was to assess early preconditioning protection against stunning in conscious sheep and analyze the role of ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channels in the protective mechanism. Chronically instrumented animals were submitted to a 12 min reversible ischemia and 2 h reperfusion. Early preconditioning, consisting of six 5 min occlusion-5 min reperfusion periods, followed by 45 min normoperfusion before the prolonged ischemia protected against stunning (P < 0.01). In these experimental conditions, current agents used to analyze sarcolemmal (sKATP) and mitochondrial (mKATP) KATP channels could not clearly establish their participation in the protective mechanism. At doses that inhibit sKATP channels they were unable to block preconditioning protection against stunning (glibenclamide) or conversely, blocked preconditioning at doses that do not inhibit these channels (HMR1098). Moreover, both mKATP channel agonists (diazoxide) and antagonists (5HD) protected against stunning, a response that could be due to their effect via an alternative mitochondrial pathway.

Transition from multi-year La Niña to strong El Niño rare but increased under global warming.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) exhibits a strong asymmetry between warm El Niño and cold La Niña in amplitude and temporal evolution. An El Niño often leads to a heat discharge in the equatorial Pacific conducive to its rapid termination and transition to a La Niña, whereas a La Niña persists and recharges the equatorial Pacific for consecutive years preconditioning development of a subsequent El Niño, as occurred in 2020-2023. Whether the multiyear-long heat recharge increases the likelihood of a transition to a strong El Niño remains unknown.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is reported to have early-phase and delayed-phase organ-protective effects. Previous studies have focused on the organ protection of a single RIPC protocol, and the clinical outcomes remain uncertain. Whether the modified RIPC (mRIPC) protocol performed repeatedly provides cardiopulmonary protection is still uncertain.

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has attracted considerable attention as a brain protection strategy, although its impact remains unclear. Hypothermia is the most effective strategy in experimental transient cerebral ischemia. Therefore, we compared the efficacy of RIC, hypothermia, and no treatment on cerebral ischemia.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study involves an 8-year-old girl undergoing a second HSCT for dermatomyositis who successfully had her ovarian tissue cryopreserved (OTC) prior to the procedure, with measurable ovarian function as indicated by hormonal assessments and ultrasound results.
- * The report emphasizes the importance of consulting fertility preservation experts post-HSCT for those who missed pre-HSCT preservation, highlighting OTC as a viable option for protecting fertility in women after HSCT.
