Austrian syndrome consists of a triad of endocarditis, meningitis, and pneumonia caused by . With the arrival of many antibiotic therapies, the disease remains rare, however, it can be overlooked due to the lack of awareness. We present a case of Austrian syndrome in an immunocompromised patient complicated by multiorgan failure.

Background And Purpose: The antiepileptic drug ethosuximide (ETX) suppresses epileptiform activity in a mouse model of GNB1 syndrome, caused by mutations in Gβ protein, likely through the inhibition of G-protein gated K (GIRK) channels. Here, we investigated the mechanism of ETX inhibition (block) of different GIRKs.
Experimental Approach: We studied ETX inhibition of GIRK channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes with or without their physiological activator, the G protein subunit dimer Gβγ.

Introduction: Metabolic disorders (type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, obesity, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome) are leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. These disorders disproportionately affect older adults relative to those younger. Digital health technologies (DHTs), such as patient monitoring, digital diagnostics and digital therapeutics, emerge as promising tools for health promotion in day-to-day life.

Trisomy of human chromosome 21 (Ts21) individuals present with a spectrum of low bone mineral density (BMD) that predisposes this vulnerable group to skeletal injuries. To determine the bone regenerative capacity of Down syndrome (DS) mice, male and female Dp16 and Ts65Dn DS mice underwent amputation of the digit tip (the terminal phalanx (P3)). This is a well-established mammalian model of bone regeneration that restores the amputated skeletal segment and all associated soft tissues.

Background: Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by headache, rapid decrease of vision and elevated CSF-opening pressure.
Objective: To delineate a subgroup of MOGAD mimicking fulminant IIH.
Methods: In this case series children with MOGAD with vision loss, optic disc swelling and elevated CSF opening pressure, initially diagnosed with fulminant IIH, were included.
