Chronic hyperglycemia results in morphological and functional alterations of the kidney and microvascular damage, leading to diabetic nephropathy (DN). Since DN progresses to irreversible renal damage, it is important to elucidate a pharmacological strategy aimed for treating DN in the early stage. Here, we used the type 2 diabetic rat model to induce DN and show a nephroprotective effect following the stimulation of PPAR-α, which stabilized renal tight junction components claudin-2, claudin-5, and claudin-16.

Objectives: Inflammatory arthritis (IA) has been associated with various problems related to male sexual and reproductive health (SRH). However, addressing these issues in the clinic remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to describe the viewpoints of rheumatologists and male patients with IA regarding the aspects that influence their communication about SRH.

Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) of the culprit infarct artery is a rare finding in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While anticoagulants have been suggested to reduce recurrent events, the optimal anti-thrombotic therapy remains unclear.
Methods: OVER-TIME was an open label, exploratory, randomized controlled trial comparing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; acetyl-salicylic-acid 100mg plus clopidogrel 75mg daily) versus single antiplatelet (SAPT, clopidogrel 75mg) plus DOAC (rivaroxaban 15mg) in patients with ACS and CAE.

This paper presents the case of a 14-year-old boy with Danon disease exhibiting exclusive cardiac involvement, initially suspected as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Significant deterioration raised suspicion of an alternative etiology. A clinical exome revealed a previously unreported likely pathogenic variant, :c.

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal condition typically characterized by chronic pain, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, and cognitive problems. The present study aims to examine the efficacy of a pain neuroscience education program (PNE) in improving executive functions and pain intensity in patients with FM and compare them with those of standard treatment protocols.
Methods: This blinded, controlled clinical trial will compare changes in executive function and pain intensity between two groups.

Bleeding following a percutaneous renal biopsy is a complication that can be life-threatening. Embolization of the bleeding artery is a procedure that can limit the damage; however, embolization devices can be costly or not immediately available. This is why we present the case of a 25-year-old man with a history of multiple thromboses who underwent a renal biopsy due to suspected systemic lupus erythematosus.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are global health burdens with rising prevalence. Their bidirectional relationship with cardiovascular dysfunction, manifesting as cardio-renal syndromes (CRS) types 3 and 4, underscores the interconnectedness and interdependence of these vital organ systems. Both the kidney and the heart are critically reliant on mitochondrial function.

Background: Exposure to extreme heat impacts millions of people worldwide and outdoor workers are among the populations most affected by hot temperatures. Heat stress induces several biological responses in humans, including the production of heat shock proteins (HSP) and antibodies against HSP (anti-HSP) which may play a central role in the body's cellular response to a hot environment.
Objective: This longitudinal study investigated the impact of elevated temperatures and humidity on the presence of HSP70 and anti-HSP70 and examined relationships with markers of kidney function in an at-risk workforce under conditions of extreme heat and exertion in Guatemala.

Chemotherapy has markedly improved cancer outcomes, yet cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) poses a significant challenge, affecting around 10% of patients. CTRCD can be asymptomatic or present with heart failure symptoms. Multimodality imaging, particularly echocardiography, remains pivotal for monitoring cardiac function.

The Hodgkin and Reed - Sternberg (HRS) cells in classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) actively modify the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) attracting immunosuppressive cells and expressing inhibitory molecules. A high frequency of myeloid cells in the TME is correlated with an unfavorable prognosis, but more specific and rare cell populations lack precise markers. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have been identified in the peripheral blood of cHL patients, where they appear to be correlated with disease aggressiveness.

Objective: . Acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is often accompanied by tachycardia, which, in turn, increases myocardial oxygen consumption and hinders the use of ventricular assist devices, such as intra-aortic balloon pump. Evidence suggests that ivabradine may reduce heart rate (HR) without affecting other hemodynamic parameters.
