Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a variable etiology clinical syndrome with similar neuroimaging results and clinical symptoms. PRES can develop in both adults and children and is characterized by headaches, disorders of consciousness, seizures and especially focal visual disturbances, often associated with hypertensive state. In most cases, symptoms resolve without neurological consequences. The treatment strategy concerns early diagnosis and general measures to correct the underlying cause of PRES. Here, we report a case of PRES that occurs in a 6-year-old child with nephrotic syndrome.

The safety of cyclosporine and tacrolimus in pediatric nephrotic syndrome patients: a disproportionate analysis based on the FAERS database.

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.
Dual disease co-expression analysis reveals potential roles of estrogen-related genes in postmenopausal osteoporosis and Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: The deficiency of estrogen correlates with a range of diseases, notably Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) and Parkinson's disease (PD). There is a possibility that PMO and PD may share underlying molecular mechanisms that are pivotal in their development and progression. The objective of this study was to identify critical genes and potential mechanisms associated with PMO by examining co-expressed genes linked to PD.

An elderly patient with renal cell carcinoma underwent a robotic nephrectomy. After an uneventful intraoperative period, soon after extubation she developed generalized seizures and was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) on neuroimaging. Management included antiepileptic and antihypertensive therapies, necessitating intensive care and neurorehabilitation.

Background: Glenoid bone loss presents a complex challenge in the management of patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) undergoing Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA). Eccentric reaming and bone grafting have been utilized to address this issue but are associated with their own set of challenges. This study explores the effectiveness of augmented glenoid baseplate RSA in addressing glenoid bone loss.
