Article Abstract
Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by acute and chronic inflammatory responses due to monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, commonly affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint, hands, and/or knees. While this condition is typically self-limiting, recurrent cases can suggest an underlying contributor. Low-dose aspirin is commonly used as a cardiovascular prophylaxis. Although research is limited, aspirin has been implicated in decreased uric acid excretion, thus potentially exacerbating gout symptoms in patients. This case highlights a 67-year-old African American male who presented to a clinic complaining of gout in his right hand. Despite following strict lifestyle practices and medication compliance, pharmacological therapies were rendered ineffective until aspirin was identified as a contributing factor to his gout. Optimizing his medication regimen resolved his gout attacks, which stresses the concept that clinicians must be diligent with lesser-known side effects of medication to improve patient outcomes.

Current research indicates that polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs) may significantly impair male reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this impairment. Potential gene targets of PET-MPs were predicted via the SwissTargetPrediction database.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

The etiology of gender dysphoria (GD) involves both biological and psychosocial factors and may have a neurodevelopmental aspect. We aimed to compare individuals with GD with each other and with cisgender individuals based on minor physical anomalies (MPAs). The case group comprised 108 individuals with GD (60 GD assigned female at birth [AFAB]; 48 GD assigned male at birth [AMAB]), most with same-biological-sex attraction.

Clonal hematopoiesis, originally identified as a precursor to hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a significant factor in various nonmalignant diseases. Recent research highlights how somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the expansion of circulating mutated immune cells that exert profound effects on organ function and disease progression. These mutated clones display altered inflammatory profiles and tissue-specific functional consequences, contributing to various diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, heart failure, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Objective: to compare the effect of salt consumption on blood pressure (BP) of an indigenous and of a non-indigenous population in Brazil.
Design: the studies were carried out in the years of 1999-2004 in an urban population of Vitória (n = 1,663), the capital of Espírito Santo State, and in an indigenous population settled in a reserve of Aracruz (n = 663). Salt consumption was evaluated by a 12-hour overnight urine collect.
