The gut microbiota (GM) can affect the immune system, which can lead to a variety of diseases, as confirmed by many studies. However, the exact mechanism by which GM affects kidney stone incidence through the immune system remains unclear. This study used a two-step, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis by inverse variance weighting (IVW) method as well as Bayesian weighting (BWMR) to find out how the gut microbiota and inflammatory cytokines contribute to kidney stones, followed by a mediated MR analysis to exploreHow inflammatory cytokines are involved in the connection with the gut microbiota and kidney stones.

Previous research has highlighted a significant association between inflammatory proteins and the development and progression of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Nevertheless, the potential causative link between these factors remains to be definitively established. To investigate the genetic correlation between inflammatory proteins and HS, linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) was employed.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses a spectrum of liver conditions ranging from simple steatosis to the more severe metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASLD is strongly linked to insulin resistance disorders, with a high prevalence among patients with type 2 diabetes. Long-term complications include liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

Hypophosphatemia resulting from intravenous iron treatment has become an increasingly concerning syndrome in recent years. We report the case of a 66-year-old male patient with a medical history of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Crohn's disease, and chronic iron deficiency. Following intravenous iron infusions of ferric carboxymaltose, the patient developed diffuse bone pain and multiple bone fractures.

Background: A correlation between inflammation and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) has been hypothesized by earlier observational research, while this correlation has not been well established. Considering the significant clinical value of this causality determination, Mendelian randomization (MR) was implemented to investigate the causality between inflammatory cytokines and CSVD radiological lesions.
Methods: Using the publicly available Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) datasets, a bidirectional two-sample MR analysis was employed to infer causality between 91 inflammatory cytokines and CSVD phenotypes [white matter hyperintensity (WHM), fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and lacunar stroke].
