A 24-year-old patient with isolated IgA deficiency and a 3-year history of minimal change glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome developed acute hemorrhagic diathesis. A spontaneous inhibitor of factor VIII was diagnosed. Therapy with substitution and plasmapheresis was without prolonged effect. Only consistent immunosuppressive therapy normalized coagulation. The patient died from septic complications during immunosuppressive therapy.

Recent studies on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumorigenesis have revealed several dysregulated molecular pathways. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is frequently activated in HNSCC, making it an attractive target for therapies. PHT-427 is a dual inhibitor of PI3K and the mammalian target of AKT/PDK1.

Determination of Westcott g-factors for the assay of non-1/v nuclides using k-NAA.

Appl Radiat Isot

January 2025

Reactor Design Group, IGCAR, Kalpakkam, 603102, India.

This study examines the impact of the Westcott g-factor on the concentration of elements like In, Ir, Re, Yb, Eu and Lu, measured using neutron capture reactions (n,γ), specifically focusing on those reactions, whose thermal neutron capture cross-sections (σ ) deviate from the conventional '1/v' behaviour. These measurements are quantified using k₀-based neutron activation analysis. The Westcott g-factor for the non-1/v nuclides was calculated using the characterized neutron temperature (T) at PFTS irradiation channel of KAMINI reactor.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA.

Background: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health, a term recently defined by the American Heart Association, encompasses the interplay among metabolic, chronic kidney, and cardiovascular risk factors. We aimed to investigate the predictive significance of CKM disorders with the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementia (ADRD) mortality in a multiethnic population.

Method: We analyzed a cohort of 6,440 adults aged 45-84 who participated in the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, with a baseline survey conducted in 2000-2002, and were followed through to December 2015.
