Recent work suggests that the simultaneous occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) and panic disorder (PD) may be of relevance for clinical findings, therapeutic outcome, and prognosis. It is of interest to know whether or not this relevance extends to biological findings. We addressed this question through comparison of serial Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) results in patients who had either MDD alone or simultaneous MDD and PD. We were unable to describe differences between the groups.

Co-administration of COVID-19 RNA polymerase inhibitors, remdesivir and favipiravir, has synergistic benefits. Together they reduce viral load and inflammation more effectively than either drug used alone. Corticosteroids like dexamethasone are used alongside antivirals in multidrug combination regimens.

Article Synopsis
- * Quick diagnosis and treatment of kidney problems in these patients are crucial, with therapies focusing on hydration, correcting contributing factors, and administering effective anti-myeloma drugs while considering the patient's kidney function and overall health.
- * Advanced treatments like plasma exchange may improve kidney recovery in severe cases, and newer combinations of medications show promise, with the possibility of kidney transplantation for some patients in the future.
Cortisol and ACTH response to Dex/CRH testing and 24-hour urine free cortisol levels in women with and without premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

Hyperactive and hyperreactive HPA axis functions are frequently reported in depressive disorders, particularly in major depression. However, research into HPA axis function in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is also classified as a depressive disorder, has shown inconsistent results. This study aimed to characterize the HPA axis in women with PMDD using the combined dexamethasone suppression and CRH stimulation (Dex/CRH) test, alongside measurements of 24-hour urine free cortisol (UFC).

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a compelling model for studying lymphocytes because zebrafish and humans have similar adaptive immune systems, including their lymphocytes. Antibodies that recognize zebrafish proteins are sparse, so many investigators use transgenic, lymphocyte-specific fluorophore-labeled lines. Human and zebrafish lymphocyte types are conserved, but many aspects of zebrafish lymphocyte biology remain uninvestigated, including lymphocytes in peripheral tissues, like epidermis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether treating refractory bacterial otitis in dogs with specific topical antibiotics leads to an increase in yeast overgrowth, particularly Malassezia.
- Twenty-nine dogs were treated with either fluoroquinolone or a combination of piperacillin and tazobactam, and ear swabs were taken to measure bacterial and yeast levels before and after treatment.
- Results showed a significant reduction in bacterial infections after treatment, but a notable increase in yeast (especially in dogs treated with piperacillin/tazobactam), highlighting the importance of monitoring for yeast overgrowth during antibacterial treatment.
