Department of Neuroscience, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla CA 92037. Electronic address:
Disturbance in sleep and activity rhythms are significant health risks associated with alcohol use during adolescence. Many investigators support the theory of a reciprocal relationship between disrupted circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and alcohol usage. However, in human studies it is difficult to disentangle other factors (i.

Importance: This study addresses the characteristics, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) modalities, and outcomes in children diagnosed with crush syndrome following an earthquake in Turkey.
Objective: To analyze the associations of different KRT modalities with long-term dialysis dependency and length of stay (LOS) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Critical Care, Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, North Chicago, USA.
This is a case of a young, 20-year-old, male Navy recruit who was admitted to our healthcare facility with intermittent atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms and was diagnosed with myocardial bridging (MB) as the most likely etiology of his chest after the complete cardiac workup, leading to his career limitations due to potential risks. Our patient presented with atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms. Chest pain was non-radiating.

Division of Medical Sciences, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba.
Unbalanced redox homeostasis leads to the production of reactive oxygen species and exacerbates inflammatory bowel disease. To investigate the role of the transcription factor Nrf2, a major antioxidative stress sensor, in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), we generated IEC-specific Nrf2 gene knock-in mice (Nrf2-vRes), which express Nrf2 only in IECs, using the cre/loxp system. Colitis was induced in wild-type (WT) mice, whole-body Nrf2-knockout (Nrf2-KO) mice, and Nrf2-vRes mice by administering dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 1 week (acute model) or intermittently for 5 weeks (chronic model).

Department of Surgery, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
Objectives: Brachial artery injury due to displaced supracondylar fracture (SC) of the humerus in children may present with pink pulseless hand (PPH), denoting a well perfused hand without radial pulse, or acute hand ischemia. Some reports state that brachial artery reconstruction is not necessary in children with persisting PPH, but the reports on long-term consequences such as intermittent claudications, growth retardation and ischemic contracture in children with pulseless hand are scarce and often misinterpreted. The objective of our analysis was to assess the long-term outcomes of children with brachial artery injury associated with SC fracture.
