Article Abstract

A 15-year-old female with no significant past medical history who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, found to be in acute renal failure and was subsequently diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Critical manifestations seen in pediatric COVID-19 can be varied affecting different organ systems. Pediatric providers, during a pandemic with imperfect testing, must be keenly aware of how varied the pathogenesis of COVID-19 can be in children.

Purpose: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a significant cause of death in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this type of graft, the intestine is particularly affected, with the loss of intestinal barrier integrity playing a key role in its onset. In this scenario, the aim of the present research was to evaluate defibrotide, a heparin-like compound, marked for severe veno-occlusive disease, as an innovative therapeutic approach for restoring intestinal barrier integrity using an in vitro model and analyzing aGVHD patients' sera and clinical data.

BackgroundAllostatic load (AL), an umbrella term for the physiological response to chronic stress, is different in women and men. AL has also been associated with all-cause dementia.ObjectiveThe current study investigates if AL clusters differently in men and women, and if these sex-based clusters are associated with all-cause dementia.

The present investigation elucidates the therapeutic potential of glycyrrhizin, the predominant triterpene saponin isolated from (licorice), in the management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disorder characterized by multisystemic involvement and therapeutic recalcitrance. Comprehensive interrogation of multiple disease-specific databases facilitated the identification of crucial SLE-associated molecular targets and hub genes, with MAPK1, MAPK3, TP53, JUN, and JAK2 demonstrating the highest degree of network centrality. Subsequent molecular docking simulations and binding affinity assessments revealed compounds with exceptional complementarity to these pivotal molecular targets, establishing as a pharmacologically promising botanical source and glycyrrhizin as its principal bioactive constituent meriting comprehensive mechanistic investigation.
