About one and a half-fold increase of the red cell glutathione reductase (GSR) activity was detected in two children with trisomy of the chromosome 8. In the third child with clinical suspicion of this trisomy, but with normal karyotype, the GSR activity was normal. Evaluation of the red cell GSR activity is of diagnostic value in this syndrome.

Background: Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are the preferred access for dialysis but have a high incidence of failure. This study aims to understand the crosstalk between skeletal muscle catabolism and AV fistula maturation failure.

Methods: Skeletal muscle metabolism and AV fistula maturation were evaluated in mice with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a simple and low-cost intervention that is thought to increase collateral blood flow through the vasodilatory effects of nitric oxide (NO) produced by the endothelium and red blood cells (RBCs). This study aims to investigate whether RIC affects RBC deformability and levels of NO and nitrite in patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods: This is a predefined substudy to the RESIST (Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Patients With Acute Stroke Trial) randomized clinical trial conducted in Denmark.

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare complication of erythropoietin (EPO) therapy, characterized by a severe deficiency in red blood cell production. There is no guideline on the treatment for PRCA because there have been too few cases to perform prospective cohort studies. The main treatments for PRCA include immediate cessation of EPO, restrictive transfusion, and immunosuppressive therapies.

December 2024

Saudi Internal Medicine Residency Training Program, Ministry of Health, Jeddah, SAU.

Eccrine acrospiromas, also known as hidradenomas, are rare benign tumors that develop from the eccrine sweat glands. Hidradenoma is a multilobular, nonencapsulated, well-circumscribed dermal nodule that may involve the epidermis and extend into the subcutaneous fat. The etiology and prevalence of nodular hidradenoma are not well defined, but it is noted that it can occur spontaneously or traumatically.

An interesting approach of including an upconverter in the MoS counter electrode can yield broadband light harvesting Pt-free DSSC assembly. Here different upconverter (UC) nanoparticles (Yb, Er incorporated NaYF, YF, CeO & YO) were synthesized and loaded in MoS thin film by hydrothermal method. The inclusion of UCs in MoS films exposed without any secondary formation of upconverters and the uniform deposition of the films are confirmed through XRD and FESEM analysis respectively.
