Article Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a beta coronavirus that uses the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor as a point of entry. The present review discusses the origin and structure of the virus and its mechanism of cell entry followed by the therapeutic potentials of strategies directed towards SARS-CoV2-ACE2 binding, the renin-angiotensin system, and the kinin-kallikrein system. SARS-CoV2-ACE2 binding-directed approaches mainly consist of targeting receptor binding domain, ACE2 blockers, soluble ACE2, and host protease inhibitors. In conclusion, blocking or manipulating the SARS-CoV2-ACE2 binding interface perhaps offers the best tactic against the virus that should be treated as a fundamental subject of future research.

Multi-Center Health Informatics to Examine the Implementation of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Chronic Kidney Disease.
J Prim Care Community Health
September 2025
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management was largely centered around renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) optimization, until recent emergence of novel therapeutics. However, slow adoption of guideline-directed therapy leaves patients vulnerable to disease progression. In 2022, a data-driven informatics approach was introduced to track real-time adherence to best practices.

Department of Medicine-DIMED, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.
Background: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with increased metabolic and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and morbidities. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of these issues in active or remitted CS are not available, so best practice is derived from guidelines developed for the general population. We aimed to evaluate the awareness and practice variation for CV comorbidities of CS across Reference Centres (RCs) of the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN).

Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, semaglutide (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] agonist), and finerenone (non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) improve renal and cardiovascular outcomes. We assessed real-world prescribing of these drugs in patients with T2D and CKD.
Method: The ReDiCare project retrospectively identified patients with T2D and CKD admitted to an Australian hospital between January 2020 and September 2024 using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision Australian Modification codes.
Characterization of peptide-enriched walnut meal paste via microbial diversity and metabolite profiling.

Walnut meal (WM), a protein-rich byproduct of oil extraction, holds great potential for conversion into value-added food products but remains underutilized. In this study, a two-stage fermentation process involving Aspergillus oryzae inoculation for koji preparation followed by natural brine fermentation was developed to produce a peptide-enriched walnut meal paste (WMP). Physicochemical analysis showed significant increases in total acidity (0.

This study aimed to explore the potential of garlic proteins for producing multifunctional salty peptides. Three novel salty peptides (SNDPGR, SASDPNF, and ASTCMAR) were identified through simulated hydrolysis and in silico screening. Sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis confirmed their potent saltiness, with dose-dependent salt-enhancing effects further validated by the electronic tongue.
