Importance: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, chronic, cardiac arrythmia in older US adults. It is not known whether AF is independently associated with increased risk of retinal stroke (central retinal artery occlusion), a subtype of ischemic stroke that causes severely disabling visual loss in most cases and is a harbinger of further vascular events.
Objective: To determine whether there is an association between AF and retinal stroke.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. Podocyte damage is a hallmark of glomerular diseases including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and one of the leading causes of CKD. Lysine methylation is a crucial post-translational modification.

Background: Many congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract involve deficits in the number of nephrons, which are associated with a higher risk of hypertension and chronic kidney disease later in life. Prior work has implicated histone modifications in regulating kidney lineage-specific gene transcription and nephron endowment. Our earlier study suggested that ASH2L, a core subunit of the H3K4 methyltransferase complex, plays a role in ureteric bud morphogenesis during mammalian kidney development.

The complex relationship between kidney disease and hypertension represents a critical area of research, yet less attention has been devoted to exploring how this connection develops early in life. Various environmental factors during pregnancy and lactation can significantly impact kidney development, potentially leading to kidney programming that results in alterations in both structure and function. This early programming can contribute to adverse long-term kidney outcomes, such as hypertension.

Accurate analysis of urinary creatinine levels is of great clinical significance. Non-enzymatic creatinine sensing systems (NECSs) have gained growing development because of higher stability and lower cost compared to enzymatic sensing systems. At present, there is a demand for simple approaches to develop NECSs with high sensitivity.
