Growing evidence suggests that extreme heat events affect both pregnant women and their infants, but few studies are available from sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from 138,015 singleton births in 16 hospitals in Benin, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda, we investigated the association between extreme heat and early perinatal deaths, including antepartum and intrapartum stillbirths, and deaths within 24 h after birth using a time-stratified case–crossover design. We observed an association between an increase from the 75th to the 99th percentile in mean temperature 1 week (lag 0–6 d) before childbirth and perinatal mortality (odds ratio (OR) = 1.34 (95% confidence interval …

The human sex ratio at birth (SRB) undergoes temporary changes around a mean proportion of 0.51 male births. SRB has been well studied for historical, geographical, and secular trends, but until now not linked to health outcomes in the total population, e.g. for cardiovascular disease (CVD) or mortality during follow-up of birth cohorts. We used linkage analysis based on national registers in Sweden that cover all births from 1900 to 2016. SRB at birth was calculated by every 10-year birth cohort in all survivors living in 1997 for a follow-up analysis of risk of CVD and mortality with data from …

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces skin photoaging, which manifests as oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen degradation. Multiple approaches (topical or systemic retinoids, antioxidants, alpha-hydroxy acids, laser, surgery) are used in the treatment of photoaged skin, and the use of topical retinoids is currently a primary clinical treatment. Previous studies revealed that retinoic acid promotes keratinocyte proliferation and reduces melanin deposition and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion; it also causes potential allergic and inflammatory damage to the skin. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of trifarotene, a functional retinoic acid analog, on UV-irradiated photoaging ICR and …

Introduction Emerging tick-borne viruses of medical and veterinary importance are increasingly being reported globally. This resurgence emphasizes the need for sustained surveillance to provide insights into tick-borne viral diversity and associated potential public health risks. We report on a virus tentatively designated Kinna virus (KIV) in the family Phenuiviridae and genus Bandavirus. The virus was isolated from a pool of Amblyomma gemma ticks from Kinna in Isiolo County, Kenya. High throughput sequencing of the virus isolate revealed close relatedness to the Guertu virus. The virus genome is consistent with the described genomes of other members of the genus Bandavirus, with …

Cotransmission, meaning the release of multiple neurotransmitters from one synapse, allows for increased diversity of signaling in the brain. Dopamine (DA) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are known to coexpress in many regions such as the olfactory bulb and the ventral tegmental area. Tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons (TIDA) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (Arc) project to the median eminence (ME) and regulate prolactin release from the pituitary, and prior work suggests dopaminergic Arc neurons also cotransmit GABA. However, the extent of cotransmission, and the projection patterns of these neurons have not been fully revealed. Here, we used a genetic intersectional …

Key Points:
-
The expression of MondoA was decreased in the renal tubules of patients with CKD.
-
Genetic ablation of MondoA in proximal tubules inhibited autophagy and increased vulnerability to AKI through increased expression of Rubicon.
-
MondoA ablation during the recovery phase after ischemia-reperfusion aggravated kidney injury through downregulation of the transcription factor EB-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α axis.
Background: Elderly individuals and patients with CKD are at a higher risk of AKI. The transcription factor MondoA is downregulated in the kidneys of aged individuals or patients with AKI; however, its roles in AKI development and the AKI-to-CKD transition remain …

The cerebellum, a phylogenetically ancient brain region, has long been considered strictly a motor control structure. Recent studies have implicated the cerebellum in cognition, sensation, emotion and autonomic function, making it an important target for further investigation. Here, we show that cerebellar Purkinje neurons in mice are activated by the hormone asprosin, leading to enhanced thirst, and that optogenetic or chemogenetic activation of Purkinje neurons induces rapid manifestation of water drinking. Purkinje neuron-specific asprosin receptor (Ptprd) deletion results in reduced water intake without affecting food intake and abolishes asprosin's dipsogenic effect. Purkinje neuron-mediated motor learning and coordination were unaffected by …

The hemodynamics in Fontan patients with single ventricles rely on favorable flow and energetics, especially in the absence of a subpulmonary ventricle. Age-related changes in energetics for extracardiac and lateral tunnel Fontan procedures are not well understood. Vorticity (VOR) and viscous dissipation rate (VDR) are two descriptors that can provide insights into flow dynamics and dissipative areas in Fontan pathways, potentially contributing to power loss. This study examined power loss and its correlation with spatio-temporal flow descriptors (vorticity and VDR). Data from 414 Fontan patients were used to establish a relationship between the superior vena cava (SVC) to inferior vena …

Background: In recent large core endovascular therapy (EVT) trials of large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (AIS), treatment was associated with reduced rates of mortality. Because post-AIS mortality can be influenced by societal and biological factors that differ between women and men, we investigate sex-based differences in mortality outcomes following EVT in large core AIS.
Methods: From our prospectively collected multicenter registry across 4 comprehensive stroke centers in the Greater Houston area, we identified patients from 2017 to 2022 with large vessel occlusion AIS and large infarct core. Large infarct core was defined by computed tomography perfusion exceeding 70 mL …

Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a monophasic immune neuropathic disorder characterized by acute paralysis. A significant portion of patients are left with residual deficits, which presents a considerable global healthcare challenge. The precise mechanisms underlying GBS pathogenesis are not fully elucidated. Recent studies have focused on postinfectious molecular mimicry and identified involvement of IgG autoantibodies and innate immune effectors in GBS. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PE) are two established evidence-based immunomodulatory treatments for GBS, but a significant proportion of GBS patients fails to respond adequately to either therapy. This emphasizes an urgent need for novel and more potent …

Purpose: Alliance A021501 is the first randomized trial to evaluate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In this post hoc study, we reviewed the quality of radiation therapy (RT) delivered.
Methods and materials: SBRT (6.6 Gy × 5) was intended but hypofractionated RT (5 Gy × 5) was permitted if SBRT specifications could not be met. Institutional credentialing through the National Cancer Institute-funded Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) was required. Rigorous RT quality assurance (RT QA) was mandated, including pretreatment review by a radiation oncologist. Revisions were required for unacceptable …

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an important cancer diagnostic staging procedure. Conventional SLNB procedures with 99mTc radiotracers and scintigraphy are constrained by tracer half-life and, in some cases, insufficient image resolution. Here, we explore an alternative magnetic (nonradioactive) image-guided SLNB procedure.
Purpose: To demonstrate that magnetic particle imaging (MPI) lymphography can sensitively, specifically, and quantitatively identify and map sentinel lymph modes (SLNs) in murine models in multiple regional lymphatic basins.
Materials and methods: Iron oxide nanoparticles were administered intradermally to healthy C57BL/6 mice (male, 12-week-old, n = 5). The nanoparticles (0.675 mg Fe/kg) were injected into the tongue, …

Metal ions play crucial roles in the regulation of immune pathways. In fact, metallodrugs have a long record of accomplishment as effective treatments for a wide range of diseases. Here we argue that the modulation of interactions of metal ions with molecules and cells involved in the immune system forms the basis of a new class of immunotherapies. By examining how metal ions modulate the innate and adaptive immune systems, as well as host-microbiota interactions, we discuss strategies for the development of such metalloimmunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other immune-related diseases.

Combination approaches are needed to strengthen and extend the clinical response to KRASG12C inhibitors (KRASG12Ci). Here, we assessed the antitumor responses of KRASG12C mutant lung and colorectal cancer models to combination treatment with a SOS1 inhibitor (SOS1i), BI-3406, plus the KRASG12C inhibitor, adagrasib. We found that responses to BI-3406 plus adagrasib were stronger than to adagrasib alone, comparable to adagrasib with SHP2 (SHP2i) or EGFR inhibitors and correlated with stronger suppression of RAS-MAPK signaling. BI-3406 plus adagrasib treatment also delayed the emergence of acquired resistance and elicited antitumor responses from adagrasib-resistant models. Resistance to KRASG12Ci seemed to be driven by …
