Article Abstract

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation in hereditary angioedema (HAE) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unknown. ANS alterations could be manifested during both the acute and post-acute phases of COVID-19. Implications of acute and chronic inflammation on ANS in HAE need to be addressed. In this case report, we monitored the systolic arterial blood pressure variability and baroreflex sensitivity in a female HAE patient both before experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and one month afterward. We also tracked the heart rate variability on the day preceding symptom onset, the day of symptom onset (SYM), the day following SYM, five days after SYM, the day of the first negative nasopharyngeal swab (i.e., 12 days after SYM), and one month after symptom onset. The results of this case report provide the characterization of vascular and cardiac autonomic profiles in an HAE patient until the resolution of an acute infection, a potential trigger for the acute HAE attack.

Objective: This study investigated the relationship of maternal serum uric acid, cystatin C (CysC), and coagulation indices [international normalized ratio (INR) and fibrinogen (FIB)] during pregnancy with clinical features and prognosis of early-onset pre-eclampsia.

Methods: Patients with pre-eclampsia (n = 133) were retrospectively selected, with clinical features and maternal uric acid, CysC, INR, and FIB levels collected. The relationship between clinical features and maternal uric acid, CysC, INR, and FIB was analyzed by Pearson's and Spearman's analyses.

Introduction: Etripamil is a fast-acting intranasally self-administered calcium-channel blocker developed for termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Prior studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy of etripamil for PSVT termination following an initial medically supervised test dose during sinus rhythm. NODE-303 is an open-label, single-arm study that evaluated etripamil for multiple, at-home PSVT episodes, without test dose before first use.

Neuroinflammation has emerged as a central and dynamic component of the pathophysiology underlying a wide range of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Far from being a secondary consequence of neuronal damage, inflammatory processes (mediated by microglia, astrocytes, peripheral immune cells, and associated molecular mediators) actively shape disease onset, progression, and symptomatology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern neuroinflammatory responses, emphasizing both shared and disease-specific pathways.

Introduction: Trousseau syndrome (TS) represents a significant vascular thromboembolic event in cancer patients and has progressively gained attention as a critical clinical concern in recent years. The aim of this study is to investigate the survival status and prognostic factors in patients with TS whose initial clinical manifestation was acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 TS patients hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University between 2018 and 2024.

Rare variants in , the gene encoding the GluA3 subunit of amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs), are associated with defects in early brain development. Disease-causing variants are generally categorised as either loss of function (LoF) or gain of function (GoF) that appear to be linked to different symptoms. Here, we reported a de novo variant (N651D) that has mixed LoF and GoF in a female patient with a devastating developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, parkinsonism and cortical malformation.
