During the 1960s, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) emerged as a widely popular drug, used by a substantial portion of the adolescent and young adult population. Since Major Depressive Disorder is a common disorder, clinicians will increasingly encounter patients who used LSD in the far distant past and now require treatment with antidepressant agents. We describe such a case in the following report of a patient who experienced a troubling array of unusual side effects, which we postulate to be a new onset LSD flashback syndrome triggered by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Background: Newborn screening (NBS) is a simple, non-invasive test that allows for the early identification of genetic diseases within the first days of a newborn's life. The aim of NBS is to detect potentially fatal or disabling conditions in newborns as early as possible, before the onset of disease symptoms. Early diagnosis enables timely treatments and improves the quality of life for affected patients.

Fabry disease (FD) belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), which are characterised by insufficient activity of enzymes responsible for the intra-lysosomal breakdown of various substrates. The result is an uncontrolled accumulation of by-products of cellular metabolism. Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited diseases, transmitted mainly in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Lysosomal dysfunction is causally linked to neurodegeneration in many lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) and is associated with various age-related neurodegenerative diseases , but there is limited understanding of the mechanisms by which altered lysosomal function leads to changes in gene expression that drive pathogenic cellular phenotypes. To investigate this question, we performed systematic imaging, transcriptomic, and epigenetic studies of major brain cell types in null (KO) mice, a preclinical mouse model for Sanfilippo syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA, MPS-IIIA) . MPS-IIIA is a neurodegenerative LSD caused by homozygous loss-of-function (LoF) mutations in which results in severe early-onset developmental, behavioral, and neurocognitive impairment .

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates mumps breakthrough cases in Chongqing from 2019 to 2023, revealing that 12,566 cases (61.09% of reported mumps) occurred despite high vaccination rates.
  • The highest incidence of breakthrough infections was found in children aged 3-9 years, with trends showing changes in the mean age of affected individuals based on their vaccination doses over recent years.
  • The findings suggest a growing trend in breakthrough mumps cases within vaccinated populations, highlighting the need for booster vaccinations and improved monitoring of outbreaks among young children in schools.
