Paraneoplastic podocytopathies with nephrotic syndrome in solid cancers with C-Maf Inducing Protein expression

Abstract Background The main features of minimal change disease (MCD) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) associated with solid cancer (paraneoplastic podocytopathy with nephrotic syndrome, PPNS) remain poorly described. Methods In this French retrospective study, we fo...

Association between the site of emergency care and patient-centered outcomes in patients with cancer: rationale and design of the French COVER cohort

Patients living with cancer now account for a substantial and growing share of emergency department (ED) visits and carry a high burden of hospitalization and in-hospital death. Their acute presentations are frequently multifactorial - driven by disease progression, treatment tox...

Systemic anticancer therapy for refractory malignant bowel obstruction in advanced cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study

Objectives Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a common but severe complication of advanced cancer. The role of systemic anticancer therapy in patients with inoperable MBO remains poorly defined. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of systemic anticancer therapy in this sett...

Extending the ATP9A ‐Related Phenotypic Spectrum: Indication of Schizophrenia Susceptibility

ABSTRACT ATP9A, which belongs to the P4‐ATPase family of proteins, is involved in the efficient transport of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane, as well as the release of extracellular vesicles from human cells. In 2021, a loss‐of‐function variant of this ge...

Performance of the iBox Prognostication System in African American Kidney Transplant Recipients

Background: The iBox is a validated prognostication system that predicts long-term death-censored graft loss in kidney transplant recipients, but its performance in the specific population of African American recipients has not been fully studied. Methods: We conducted a multicen...

Calpain inhibition prevents high-glucose-induced autophagy blockade and mitochondrial fragmentation in endothelial cells and preserves vascular functions in diabetic mice

Endothelial dysfunction is a major contributor to diabetic vascular complications, yet the mechanisms linking hyperglycemia to impaired endothelial homeostasis remain insufficiently defined. This study identifies calpains as key regulators of endothelial autophagy and mitophagy u...

Stable tissue oxygen cerebral perfusion pressure (stoCPP): Proof of concept for a novel method for the assessment of optimum cerebral perfusion pressure in severe traumatic brain injury

Abstract To demonstrate a method for the identification of safe cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury using brain tissue oxygen (PbtO₂) readings as a surrogate marker of cerebral blood flow. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collec...

The effect of augmented protein intake on nitrogen balance: A nested cohort study of the TARGET protein trial

Purpose The impact of augmenting enteral protein delivery on nitrogen balance, urea generation, and kidney function in critically ill patients remains poorly defined. This study aimed to investigate these effects in a nested cohort within the TARGET Protein trial. Methods We cond...

An N-terminal CDC42 T43I variant reveals the mechanism of pyrin inflammasome activation

Heterozygous carboxyl-terminal variants in the RHO guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) CDC42 are known to cause severe autoinflammatory syndromes. Here, we identified a heterozygous amino-terminal p.T43I (Thr 43 →Ile) CDC42 variant in patients with autoinflammation and uncovered a...
