The effect of polymorphims in leptin and adiponectin genes on long-term outcomes of renal transplantation is unknown. In 349 renal transplant recipients (RTR), we aimed to determine associations between five SNPs in the leptin receptor (LEPR) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ) genes and these outcomes. Follow-up time ranged from 2 to 25 years (mean 10.29 ± 5.16 years). Two SNPs showed associations with long-term outcomes and their statistical significance greatly increased after 39 RTR with a history of cardiovascular events prior to transplantation were removed from the analysis. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) for LEPR rs1805094 and ADIPOQ rs1501299 and risk of graft loss were 0.35 (0.16-0.74) p = 0.006 and 2.37 (1.28-4.37) p = 0.006, respectively. The assessment of risk for global mortality revealed OR values of 0.20 (0.06-0.62), p = 0.005, and 2.43 (1.08-5.44), p = 0.031 for LEPR rs1805094 and ADIPOQ rs1501299, respectively. Our results show that polymorphism in genes involved in leptin and adiponectin function modify long-term outcomes in renal transplantation.

Evaluation of sleep disorders in children and adolescents affected by Klinefelter syndrome.
Eur J Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Maternal Infantile and Urological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Unlabelled: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosomal aneuploidy in males (47,XXY karyotype in 80-90% of cases), primarily characterized by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and infertility. It encompasses a broad phenotypic spectrum, leading to variability in neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes among affected individuals. Despite the recognized correlation between KS and various neuropsychiatric conditions, studies investigating potential sleep disorders, particularly in pediatric subjects, are lacking.

Background: Central nervous system tumors (CNSTs) represent a significant oncological challenge in pediatric populations, particularly in developing regions where access to diagnostic and therapeutic resources is limited.
Methods: This research investigates the epidemiology, histological classifications, and survival outcomes of CNST in a cohort of pediatric patients aged 0 to 19 years within a 25-year retrospective study at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara, Mexico, from 1999 to 2024.
Results: Data was analyzed from 273 patients who met inclusion criteria, revealing a higher incidence in males (51.
Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Definition, Mechanisms, and Treatment Perspectives.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Hasselt University, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences / Limburg Clinical Research Centre, Agoralaan, Diepenbeek, Belgium.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore the complex interplay between atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal is to define these conditions, examine their underlying mechanisms, and discuss treatment perspectives, particularly addressing diagnostic challenges.
Recent Findings: Recent research highlights the rising prevalence of AFMR, now accounting for nearly one-third of significant mitral regurgitation cases.
Ruthenium-106 brachytherapy and central uveal melanoma.
Int Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Staedtisches Klinikum Dessau, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Dessau, Germany.
Purpose: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary ocular malignancy. The size and location of the tumor are decisive for brachytherapy with the β-emitting ruthenium-106 (Ru-106) plaque. The treatment of juxtapapillary and juxtafoveolar UM may be challenging because of the proximity or involvement of the macula and optic nerve and high recurrence rates.

Purpose Of Review: To outline the latest discoveries regarding the utility and reliability of serum biomarkers in idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis (IRAP), considering recent findings on its pathogenesis. The study highlights the predictive role of these biomarkers in potential short- (cardiac tamponade, recurrences) and long-term complications (constrictive pericarditis, death).
Recent Findings: The pathogenesis of pericarditis has been better defined in recent years, focusing on the autoinflammatory pathway.
