Antler anomalies were evident in tule elk (Cervus elaphus nannodes) within 1 yr of reintroduction to Point Reyes, California (USA). These anomalies are consistent with previously described mineral deficiency-induced anomalies in cervids. The elk were judged deficient in copper. Low levels of copper in soils and vegetation at the release site, exacerbated by possible protein deficiency due to poor range conditions, are postulated as likely causes of the antler anomalies.

Sika Deer antler protein antagonizes the inflammatory response and oxidative damage induced by jellyfish venom.
Int Immunopharmacol
December 2024
School of Life Sciences, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116081, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the challenge of treating jellyfish stings and evaluates Sika Deer antler protein (DAP), a traditional Chinese medicine known for its health benefits.
- Proteome analysis revealed 94 proteins in DAP, which has shown the ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative damage in mice exposed to jellyfish venom, improving their survival rates.
- DAP works by targeting specific signaling pathways, such as NF-κB and MAPK, effectively countering jellyfish venom's toxic effects and underscoring the potential of traditional remedies in modern medical treatments.
Atrial thrombus after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair.
Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann

Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Kanagawa Children's Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan.
A 6-year-old boy had previously undergone total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair and postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis release. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed blood stasis caused by a collision between the inflow from the pulmonary veins and the outflow from the left atrial appendage. A surgical specimen revealed evidence of advanced thrombus attachment.

Unlabelled: Generally, mammals are unable to regenerate complex tissues and organs however the deer antler provides a rare anomaly to this rule. This osseous cranial appendage which is located on the frontal bone of male deer is capable of stem cell-based organogenesis, annual casting, and cyclic de novo regeneration. A series of recent studies have classified this form of regeneration as epimorphic stem cell based.

March 2015
Department of Pharmaceutical Services, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
The likelihood of a drug reaction with lamotrigine is increased by dose escalation that is too rapid or drug interactions that increase the concentration of lamotrigine. There is a well-documented interaction between valproic acid and lamotrigine in which lamotrigine levels are increased, subsequently increasing the risk of a drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, diffuse maculopapular rash, multivisceral involvement, eosinophilia, and atypical lymphocytes and has a mortality rate of 10-40%.
