Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the safety of cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) in pediatric nephrotic syndrome (NS) patients using real-world data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: We analyzed adverse event (AE) reports from the FAERS database between Q4 2003 and Q2 2024, focusing on AEs associated with CsA and TAC in NS patients aged 18 years and younger. We employed three signal detection methods-Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), Relative Reporting Ratio (RRR), and Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR)-to assess the risk of drug-related AEs.

Atrial fibrillation and heart failure have both been suggested to increase stroke and dementia risk. However, in observational studies, reversed causation and unmeasured confounding may occur. To mitigate these issues, this study aims to investigate if higher genetic risk for atrial fibrillation and heart failure increases dementia and stroke risk.

Magnetic susceptibility source separation (χ-separation), an advanced quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) method, enables the separate estimation of paramagnetic and diamagnetic susceptibility source distributions in the brain. Similar to QSM, it requires solving the ill-conditioned problem of dipole inversion, suffering from so-called streaking artifacts. Additionally, the method utilizes reversible transverse relaxation ( ) to complement frequency shift information for estimating susceptibility source concentrations, requiring time-consuming data acquisition for (e.

A 45-year-old female with poorly controlled HTN presented with sudden, painless bilateral vision loss over 12 hours. On examination, she had only light perception in both eyes, with normal fundoscopy and no focal neurological deficits. Laboratory tests revealed mildly elevated creatinine and proteinuria.

Aim: Given that electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment inhibits lactate production and lactate-derived lysine lactation (Kla) aggravates ischemic brain injury, we aimed to investigate whether the formation of Kla protein is involved in EA pretreatment to alleviate ischemic brain injury.
Methods: EA was performed on the Baihui acupoint (GV20) of male C57BL/6J mice before receiving the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) surgery. Western blot and immunofluorescent staining were used to observe neuronal survival, astrocyte activation, and protein Kla levels, and the lactate levels in ischemic brains were assayed with a commercial kit.
