Misshapen/NIKs-related kinase (MINK) 1 belongs to the mammalian germinal center kinase (GCK) family. It contains the N-terminal, conserved kinase domain, a coiled-coil region, a proline-rich region, and a GCK, C-terminal domain with the Citron-NIK-Homology (CNH) domain. The kinase is an essential component of cellular signaling pathways, which include Wnt signaling, JNK signaling, pathways engaging Ras proteins, the Hippo pathway, and STRIPAK complexes.

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.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the uterus and upper two-thirds of the vagina. It affects around 1 in 4000-5000 females and is of two types: type 1, also known as isolated Müllerian aplasia or Rokitansky, which involves only uterovaginal agenesis, and type 2, presents as uterovaginal agenesis along with renal, cardiac, and other organ anomalies. Despite the absence of vaginal and uterine structures, individuals with MRKHS typically present with normal secondary sexual characteristics and ovarian functions.

Its rarity and unique clinical challenges, such as severe injuries from the inability to sense pain, make reporting cases critical. A 5-year-old boy, the third child of consanguineous parents, was referred for a fractured femur.

Article Synopsis
- Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) can lead to challenges in diagnosing individuals with a 46, XY karyotype who appear female due to their inability to respond to androgens.
- A case report details how a patient was misdiagnosed during surgery and later incorrectly identified as having another syndrome, but was ultimately given the correct diagnosis and a management plan that postponed surgery until after puberty.
- The report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing CAIS, calling for improved awareness and personalized treatment plans to provide effective, patient-centered care.
