Article Abstract
A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for progressive weakness, dysphagia, muscle pain, and weight loss. Here we detail the clinical problem solving involved in diagnosing and treating her immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy caused by anti-HMGCoA reductase autoantibodies. Interestingly, this diagnosis coincided with discovery of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and positivity for anti-nuclear matrix protein (anti-NXP2), another myositis specific autoantibody.

Drug absorption significantly influences pharmacokinetics. Accurately predicting human oral bioavailability (HOB) is essential for optimizing drug candidates and improving clinical success rates. The traditional method based on experiment is a common way to obtain HOB, but the experimental method is time-consuming and costly.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), a highly contagious viral disease in young chickens, poses significant economic losses due to high mortality and immunosuppression. While IBD virus (IBDV) virulence is influenced by multiple genes, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of IBDV is crucial for defining the strain pathotype and clinical profile. Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) cards are convenient for field sample collection, but their filter paper matrix can hinder nucleic acid recovery, impacting sequencing efficiency.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery remains the gold standard of care to prevent myocardial ischemia in patients with advanced atherosclerosis; however, poor long-term graft patency remains a considerable and long-standing problem. Excessive vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in the grafted tissue is recognized as central to late CABG failure. We previously identified SMILR, a human-specific SMC-enriched long noncoding RNA that drives SMC proliferation, suggesting that targeting SMILR expression could be a novel way to prevent neointima formation, and thus CABG failure.

Despite the long therapy duration, the treatment outcomes for lung disease (MAB-LD) are very poor. β-Lactams are among the recommended drugs for the treatment of MAB-LD; however, they are prone to hydrolysis by MAB β-lactamase enzymes. Therefore, β-lactamase inhibitors have been developed to overcome this problem.

Background: Radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) but may induce various side effects on surrounding normal tissues. To reach an optimal balance between tumour control and toxicity prevention, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models have been reported to predict the risk of radiation-induced side effects in patients with HNC. However, the quality of study design, conduct, and analysis (i.
