Changes to the overall volume of body water and acid base equilibrium can be reflected in the values of differences and ratios relating to serum concentrations of natrium and chlorides. Both these quantities can be used for patients with hyponatremia in the hyponatremia differential diagnosis. This paper presents a case study which is an example of the clinical use of differences in and ratios of serum concentrations of natrium and chlorides when monitoring effectiveness of the therapy.Key words: acid base equilibrium - depletion hyponatremia - differential diagnosis of hyponatremia - dilution hyponatremia.

Impact of the Mediterranean Diet on Patients With Psoriasis: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
JMIR Res Protoc
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal, Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigación Sanitaria (IRYCIS), Madrid, Spain, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease primarily treated through molecular-targeted therapies. However, emerging evidence suggests that dietary interventions may also play a role in managing inflammation associated with this condition. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), prevalent in southern European countries, has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality, largely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Rationale: Previous studies evaluating the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on blood pressure (BP) showed variable results. Moreover, several studies recruited patients with normal or controlled BP, and compliance to antihypertensive drugs was not monitored. In addition, very few studies investigated central BP in this scenario.

Purpose: Despite group-level improvements in active engagement and related outcomes, significant individual variability in response to early intervention exists. The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the effects of a group-based Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) on active engagement among a heterogeneous sample of young autistic children in a clinical setting.
Method: Sixty-three autistic children aged 24-60 months ( = 44.
Targeting AXL inhibits the growth and metastasis of prostate cancer in bone.
Clin Cancer Res
January 2025
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, United States.
Purpose: After failing primary and secondary hormonal therapy, castration-resistant and neuroendocrine prostate cancer metastatic to the bone is invariably lethal, although treatment with docetaxel and carboplatin can modestly improve survival. Therefore, agents targeting biologically relevant pathways in PCa and potentially synergizing with docetaxel and carboplatin in inhibiting bone metastasis growth are urgently needed.
Experimental Design: Phosphorylated (activated) AXL expression in human prostate cancer bone metastases was assessed by immunohistochemical staining.

Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed 133 pediatric patients over 14 years to understand the prevalence and effects of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with symptoms appearing as early as age 10.
- Factors such as BMI, family history, comorbidities, and hair loss patterns were examined, revealing differences in trichoscopic outcomes between sexes and age groups.
- The research emphasizes the need for personalized treatment plans for AGA in children, suggesting the use of topical minoxidil while ensuring close monitoring and encouraging adherence to medication and follow-ups for better results.
