Article Abstract
Acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) without pyuria is a subtype of urinary tract infection in children, often leading to diagnostic challenges. The clinical characteristics of 6 children diagnosed with AFBN, who exhibited an absence of pyuria, were retrospectively summarized and compared with the control group consisting of 49 hospitalized AFBN children with pyuria. The cases of AFBN without pyuria presented with more severe inflammatory responses and were predisposed to complications, such as sepsis and neurologic abnormalities.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) preferentially localizes in the bone marrow (BM) and displays recurrent patterns of medullary and extra-medullary involvement. Leukemic cells exploit their niche for propagation and survive selective pressure by chemotherapy in the BM microenvironment, suggesting the existence of protective mechanisms. Here, we established a three-dimensional (3D) BM mimic with human mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells that resemble vasculature-like structures to explore the interdependence of leukemic cells with their microenvironment.

Recent investigations into the rapid antidepressant effects of ketamine, along with studies on schizophrenia-related susceptibility genes, have highlighted the GluN2A subunit as a critical regulator of both emotion and cognition. However, the specific impacts of acute pharmacological inhibition of GluN2A-containing NMDA receptors on brain microcircuits and the subsequent behavioral consequences remain poorly understood. In this study, we first examined the effects of MPX-004, a selective GluN2A NMDA receptor inhibitor, on behavior within the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC).

Local anesthetics such as lidocaine have been used in humans and other animals to perform surgical procedures, therapeutics, and experiments. Lidocaine discarded into the environment through industrial waste, human and animal excretion, and household waste has been detected in the aquatic environment. For example, lidocaine in rivers, lakes, and influent and effluent water has been detected at wastewater treatment plants (7 ng/L-2.

Background & Aims: Terlipressin is indicated to treat hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)-acute kidney injury (AKI), but is likely used outside this primary indication in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate real-world practice patterns on the use of terlipressin in AKI in cirrhosis.
Methods: International prospective study including patients hospitalized for decompensated cirrhosis.

Mitochondria are central to cellular function, acting as metabolic hubs that regulate energy transduction to communicate cellular status. A key component of this energetic regulation is the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), a charge separation across the inner mitochondrial membrane generated by the electron transport chain. Beyond MMP's canonical role in driving ATP synthesis, MMP acts as a dynamic signaling hub.
