A study of 100 patients with juvenile hypertension (JH) revealed a dependence between the character of changes of the cerebral vessel tone and type of central hemodynamics (TCH). Patients with the hypokinetic TCH show more frequently the vasospastic form of cerebral circulation (FCC) while the vasodilation FCC was observed rarer. The vasodilation FCC prevailed in patients with hyperkinetic TCH while the vasospastic was not observed. Normotensive FCC showed a similar frequency in patients with hypo- and hypertensive TCH. In patients with vasospastic FCC and hypokinetic TCH the drug of choice was nifedipin while in patients vasodilatation FCC and hyperkinetic TCH this was propranolol.

Unlabelled: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) exhibits abnormal functional connectivity of brain networks at multiple frequencies. We used the multilayer network model to address the heterogeneous features at different frequencies and assess the mechanisms of functional integration and segregation of brain networks in JME patients. To address the possibility of false edges or missing edges during network construction, we combined multilayer networks with link prediction techniques.

Objective: Juvenile SLE (jSLE) is an autoimmune disease characterised by the presence of high levels of autoantibodies, predominantly targeting nuclear antigens, resulting in a breakdown of self-tolerance. However, its pathogenesis is multifactorial and poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) as biomarkers for jSLE.

Objectives: This study aims to explore patients' and clinicians' understanding and experiences of refractory disease (RD) and persistent physical and emotional symptoms (PPES) in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA), namely rheumatoid arthritis or polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis from their perspectives through interviews and/or focus groups.

Design: A qualitative study was conducted, following a pragmatic epistemology approach with framework analysis employed.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews or focus groups with IA patients (n = 25) and multi-disciplinary rheumatology HCPs (n = 32) were conducted at one time point to obtain participants respective understanding and experiences of managing RD/PPES, and its impact on the patient-professional relationship.

Autoimmune hypothyroidism is categorized into Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and atrophic thyroiditis (AT). Although a consensus exists among Japanese endocrinologists that pediatric AT is associated with severe hypothyroidism, the question remains whether AT and HT are separate conditions. To investigate the clinical characteristics of pediatric AT, we conducted a comprehensive literature review using PubMed and ICHUSHI, a local database.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus: The Importance of Metabolism and Aging.

Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that, among humans, can cause a severe and often fatal illness. The zoonotic EEEV enzootic cycle involves a cycle of transmission between and avian hosts, frequently resulting in spillover to dead-end vertebrate hosts such as humans and horses. Interestingly, it has been described that the W132G mutation of the very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), the receptor of EEEV, significantly enhanced the VLDLR-mediated cell attachment of EEEV.
