Article Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic as a new SARS-CoV-2-related entity, potentially responsible for a life-threatening clinical condition associated with myocardial dysfunction and refractory shock. We describe for the first time in a 14-year-old girl with severe MIS-C the potential benefit of an adjuvant therapy based on CytoSorb hemoperfusion and continuous renal replacement therapy with immunomodulatory drugs. We show in our case that, from the start of extracorporeal blood purification, there was a rapid and progressive restoration in cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters in association with a reduction in the most important inflammatory biomarkers (interleukin 6, interleukin 10, C-reactive protein, ferritin, and D-dimers). Additionally, for the first time, we were able to show with analysis of the sublingual microcirculation a delayed improvement in most of the important microcirculation parameters in this clinical case of MIS-C.

Objective: To describe the use of transcorneal iris photocoagulation (TCIP) to improve intraocular visualization of intended incision lines, reduce hemorrhage, and facilitate excision of pigmented iridal tumors in four canine eyes and one feline eye.
Materials And Methods: A Rhodesian Ridgeback (treated bilaterally), a German Shepherd, a Labrador Retriever, and a Scottish Fold underwent sector iridectomy due to rapidly growing, pigmented, raised, iridal tumors affecting 1/4-1/3 of the iris circumference (3- to 4-clock hours). A diode laser was used to delineate the intended sector iridectomy incision lines, approximately 1-2 mm away from the grossly visible tumor margins, with the aim of improving visualization to achieve tumor-free margins and reduce tissue handling/trauma.
Targeting the ERα DBD-LBD interface with mitoxantrone disrupts receptor function through proteasomal degradation.

The estrogen receptor (ER or ERα) remains the primary therapeutic target for luminal breast cancer, with current treatments centered on competitive antagonists, receptor down-regulators, and aromatase inhibitors. Despite these options, resistance frequently emerges, highlighting the need for alternative targeting strategies. We discovered a novel mechanism of ER inhibition that targets the previously unexplored interface between the DNA-binding domain (DBD) and ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are pathologies that may remain silent for a long time and thus are largely underdiagnosed in clinical practice. The use of biomarkers may help detect people already suffering from these diseases at an early stage or at increased risk to develop them in a near future. The aim of this article is to discuss the place of the assays of albuminuria, natriuretic peptide (BNP/proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin as well as lipoprotein(a) to help in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of individuals at risk of presenting or developing a CKD, HF or ASCVD.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.
