Article Abstract

Background: Although we and others have reported cases of patients with Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) complicated by coronary spastic angina (CSA), the prevalence of CSA in these patients remains unknown.

Methods and results: We performed the acetylcholine-induced provocation test, according to the Japanese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CSA, in 9 consecutive patients having 5 independent AFD pedigrees. Coronary spasms were provoked in conjunction with symptoms and ECG ischemic changes in 8 of 9 (89%) patients with AFD.

Conclusions: We found an unexpectedly high prevalence of CSA in patients with AFD.

Wetlands play a crucial role in global greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics, yet their response to climate change is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate how increasing temperature and oxygen availability interact to regulate wetland GHG emissions through combined analysis of biogeochemical and functional gene measurements. We found distinct temperature-dependent shifts in carbon emission pathways, with CO emissions unexpectedly declining as temperature rose from 15 to 25 °C, while increasing consistently at higher temperatures (25-35 °C), reflecting a transition to more thermally-driven processes.

The remarkable phenotypic plasticity of land snail shells often results in convergent evolution, leading to frequent taxonomic misidentifications and non-monophyletic classifications. The taxonomy of the Holarctic micro land snails related to Euconulus fulvus has been particularly challenging to resolve. This study integrates mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenetics, geometric morphometrics, and climate suitability modeling to clarify the phylogenetic and taxonomic status of an East Asian lineage within this group.

Thermal processing of whey-based foods leads to nonenzymatic post-translational protein modifications (nePTMs), which reduce the protein quality. Because pyridoxamine inhibits protein glycation and oxidation in vivo and in model reactions, the present study investigated the effect of pyridoxamine on β-lactoglobulin modifications in heated whey. After Glu-C digestion, 14 nePTMs were quantified at 29 binding sites by micro-liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry in scheduled multiple reaction monitoring mode.

Acoustic Analysis of the Normal Voice in Classically Trained Vocal Professionals: A Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Professional singers are often described as vocal athletes due to the intense vocal demands of their profession, which may lead to functional impairments affecting their quality of life and career. Acoustic analysis provides an objective and quantitative method to assess voice quality. This study aimed to analyze the acoustic and aerodynamic voice characteristics in professional classically trained singers without subjective vocal complaints, as such a sample has been rarely studied.

Food hydrocolloids κ-carrageenan and xanthan gum in processed red meat modify gut health in rats.

The food hydrocolloids κ-carrageenan and xanthan gum, used in processed foods including meat products, have unclear effects on gut health. This study investigated the effects of incorporating 1 % κ-carrageenan or xanthan gum into pork on protein digestibility, gut microbiota, oxidative stress, and gene expression using both gastrointestinal digestion/fermentation and an rodent model. , xanthan gum reduced protein digestibility (-11 %) in the simulated small intestine, thus elevating protein fermentation metabolites (up to 4-fold), but this was not observed .
