Intron-22-inversion patients express the entire Factor VIII (FVIII)-amino-acid sequence intracellularly as 2 non-secreted polypeptides and have a positive "intracellular (I)-FVIII-CRM" status. Mutations conferring a positive I-FVIII-CRM status are associated with low inhibitor risk and are pharmacogenetically relevant because inhibitor risk may be affected by the nature of the therapeutic FVIII-protein (tFVIII), the affinity of any tFVIII-derived foreign peptide (tFVIII-fp) for any HLA class-II isomer (HLA-II) comprising individual major histocompatibility complex (MHC) repertoires, and the stability of any tFVIII-fp/HLA-II complex. We hypothesize that mutations conferring a completely or substantially negative I-FVIII-CRM status are pharmacogenetically irrelevant because inhibitor risk is high with any tFVIII and individual MHC repertoire.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy but are increasingly linked to immune-related kidney injury (irKI). This study presents the first bibliometric analysis of irKI research (2000-2025), aiming to identify key trends, mechanistic insights, and pharmacological risk factors. We analyzed 2,179 publications to understand the evolution of irKI research, focusing on areas like T cell-mediated tubular injury, immune system-driven inflammation, and changes in metabolism.

Objectives: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used among these patients to prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in anticoagulated patients. However, their clinical benefits among patients receiving OACs with a history of UGIB remain inconclusive. This study aimed to summarize the clinical benefits of PPIs for the secondary prevention of recurrent UGIB among patients using OACs.

Purpose Of Review: Acid suppression is the mainstay of management of common foregut disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. Drawbacks of standard management with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) include acid lability requiring enteric coating, slow onset of effect, lack of suppression of nocturnal acid breakthrough, and need for administration before meals.
Recent Findings: Potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) are a novel class of acid suppressants that are effective in the management of symptomatic and erosive GERD, peptic ulcer disease and H.
Background: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare and aggressive form of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, accounting for 1 - 2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Diagnosis is challenging, and there is no established standard first-line treatment. This case report highlights a rare progression from AITL to therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML-pCT) following cytotoxic chemotherapy.
