Primary coenzyme Q (CoQ) deficiency is a mitochondrial disorder with variable clinical presentation and limited response to standard CoQ10 supplementation. Recent studies suggest that 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), a biosynthetic precursor of CoQ, may serve as a substrate enhancement treatment in cases caused by pathogenic variants in COQ2, a gene encoding a key enzyme in CoQ biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear whether 4-HBA is required throughout life to maintain health, whether it offers advantages over CoQ10 treatment, and whether these findings are translatable to humans.

Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) constitutes a heterogeneous and expanding patient cohort with distinctive diagnostic and management challenges. Conventional detection methods are ineffective at reflecting lesion heterogeneity and the variability in risk profiles. Artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models, has revolutionized the potential for improving diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized care across the ACHD spectrum.

This article considers the calls for police reform and the continuation of police brutality to be twinning modes of policing within Kenya's broader counterterrorism and preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) architecture. Rather than seeing ongoing police brutality as a failure of, or at odds with, calls for police reform, we argue that what appears to be a paradox is actually indicative of a dialectic central to civil counterinsurgency - a dialectic comprising what we call 'coercive compliance' and 'abject coercion'. Based on extensive field research in Kenya, this article centers the institution of the police as an integral mode of P/CVE-as-counterinsurgency to analyze various manifestations of police power, including international compliance vis-a-vis police reform, police brutality, and community engagement.
