Neurodegenerative disease is marked not just by loss of proteins or cells, but by dynamic rewiring of macromolecular interaction networks that precede and drive pathology. Here, we present a temporally resolved, systems-scale map of multi-protein complex remodeling in a tauopathy model, integrating co-fractionation mass spectrometry, quantitative phosphoproteomics, and machine learning to decode phosphorylation-dependent shifts in protein interactomes across disease progression. This interactomic atlas serves as a resource to investigate functional assemblies, including MAPT-Dpysl2 and Cyfip1-actin, as well as ptk2b-Kars/Dars and ptk2b-Msn-Farsb-complexes, that modulate early disease phenotypes in vivo. Notably, it captures the composition, dynamics, and regulatory state of protein complexes …

Evaluation Of Shortened Irinotecan Infusion Times And Adverse Effects Incidence For Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology Patients, Rachel N. Ochs, Daniel J. Donovan, Neha A. Betrabet, Wendy M. Covert
Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement
Background: Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, is commonly used to treat gastrointestinal cancers. The infusion time of irinotecan is usually over 90 minutes; however, studies support the safety and feasibility of 30-minute infusions. A shortened infusion duration may improve patient quality of life, optimize infusion chair utilization, and reduce wait times. Faster infusion rates may increase the risk of acute cholinergic side effects, reported in up to 50% of patients (all grades). Current institutional practice in the gastrointestinal medical oncology (GIMO) clinic involves administering irinotecan over 90 minutes and using atropine as needed for reversing cholinergic symptoms. For patients who …

Complete Atrioventricular Block Revealing Late-Onset Cardiac Fabry Disease: Diagnostic Role Of Native T1 Mapping, Nouhaila Bentama, Lamyae Bakamel, Jalal Tagueniti, Fatiha Ait Yahya, Brahim Meftout
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
A 63-year-old man presented with symptomatic complete atrioventricular block requiring urgent pacemaker implantation. Evaluation revealed non-obstructive left ventricular hypertrophy with normal coronary arteries. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed diffusely reduced native T1 values and inferolateral late gadolinium enhancement, suggesting Fabry cardiomyopathy; amyloidosis was excluded by bone scintigraphy. Diagnosis was confirmed by markedly reduced alpha-galactosidase A activity, elevated lyso-Gb3, and a pathogenic hemizygous GLA variant (p.Asn215Ser). Enzyme replacement therapy with agalsidase beta was initiated, with early stabilization of myocardial deformation and septal thickness. This case highlights native T1 mapping as a key diagnostic biomarker in unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy.

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are a well-known family of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. They consist of five classes with 18 different protein cores originally recognized as having a physically supportive component to the extracellular structure and tissue integrity. There has been a significant conceptual shift from the original paradigm as mere contributors to ECM structure to the current concept of bioactive signaling molecules. Over the past three decades, SLRPs have evolved into critical modulators of signaling events in cells by contributing to the regulation of receptor activity and intercellular communication. They also affect key biological processes such as tissue remodeling, …

BACKGROUND
Anthracycline use is limited by cardiotoxicity resulting in heart failure (HF). The spatial ventricular gradient(SVG) is a vectorcardiographic measurement of myocardial electrical heterogeneity associated with sudden death and incident HF. It is unclear if serial measurement of SVG after anthracycline initiation can help predict subsequent HF.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the study was to determine if time-varying SVG measurements are associated with anthracycline HF.
METHODS
Retrospective, single-center study of adult patients with cancer treated with anthracyclines between 1992 to 2019. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms obtained within 6 months before and up to 5 years after anthracycline initiation were analyzed. Patients …

The lateral recovery position is widely used in prehospital and clinical settings to help maintain airway patency in unconscious patients who are breathing spontaneously. Tracheal anatomy and asymmetries in respiratory structures, along with gravitational effects on soft tissues, may influence the efficacy and safety of this positioning. Clinical nuances related to the setting and secondary health concerns interestingly create disagreement on preferred side for lateral placement. This article explores the anatomical and physiological considerations that support the lateral recovery position—focusing on tracheal asymmetry and its implications for airway patency—along with emergency medical practices in medical versus dental emergencies. It also …
