This study aimed to investigate whether conventional predisposing factors modify the associations of homocysteine with blood pressure levels and hypertension. A total of 2615 adults were recruited from Liaoning province. An elevated homocysteine level was significantly associated with increased hypertension risk and blood pressure (all P<.05). Interaction analyses showed that homocysteine acted synergistically with age, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, and family history of hypertension to affect hypertension risk, and the relative excess risk due to interaction was 1.21 (95% confidence interval, 0.07-2.35), 0.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.07-1.36), 0.45 (95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.85), and 1.87 (95% confidence interval, 0.77-2.97), respectively. Increases in blood pressure were higher in patients who were overweight/obese or had a family history of hypertension than in their counterparts (all P <.05). This study provides some strong evidence for interactions of homocysteine with conventional predisposing factors on hypertension.

Introduction And Importance: Cecal volvulus is an uncommon cause of large bowel obstruction that typically presents in older adults with a history of chronic constipation or prior abdominal surgery. However, this report documents a rare and atypical case of cecal volvulus presenting in a middle-aged female with no significant past medical or surgical history. This case also highlights the benefits of adopting a synergistic approach between a physician's clinical judgment and the patient's presentation when making a diagnosis to ensure timely interventions and prevent life-threatening complications.

Article Synopsis
- - RNA science is booming, especially in developing vaccines and therapies, but delivering RNA to the brain is a significant hurdle due to the blood-brain barrier blocking most delivery methods.
- - RNA molecules are fragile and need protection during delivery, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerging as promising carriers since they can naturally shield RNA and facilitate its transport into target cells.
- - The review highlights the challenges of traditional RNA delivery systems and discusses the benefits of using EVs for brain delivery, suggesting future strategies to enhance RNA-based therapies for neurological disorders.
