EphB6 is an understudied ephrin receptor tyrosine pseudokinase that is downregulated in multiple types of metastatic cancers. Unlike its kinase-active counterparts which autophosphorylate and transmit signals upon intercellular interaction, little is known about how EphB6 functions in the absence of intrinsic kinase activity. Here, we unveil a molecular mechanism of cell-cell interaction driven by EphB6. We identify ephrinB1 as a cognate ligand of EphB6 and show that in trans interaction of EphB6 with ephrinB1 on neighboring cells leads to the formation of large co-clusters at the plasma membrane. These co-clusters exhibit a decreased propensity towards endocytosis, suggesting a unique characteristic for this type of cell-cell interaction. Using lattice light-sheet microscopy, 3D structured illumination microscopy and cryo-electron tomography techniques, we show that co-clustering of EphB6 and ephrinB1 promotes the formation of double-membrane tubular structures between cells. Importantly, we also demonstrate that these intercellular structures stabilize cell-cell adhesion, leading to a reduction in the invasive behavior of cancer cells. Our findings rationalize a role for EphB6 pseudokinase as a tumor suppressor when interacting with its ligands in trans.
After menstruation the uterine spiral arteries are repaired through angiogenesis. This process is tightly regulated by the paracrine communication between endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) and endothelial cells. Any molecular aberration in these processes can lead to complications in pregnancy including miscarriage or preeclampsia (PE). Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a known contributing factor for pathological angiogenesis but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated whether PlGF contributes to pathological uterine angiogenesis by disrupting EnSCs and endothelial paracrine communication. We observed that PlGF mediates a tonicity-independent activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) in EnSCs. NFAT5 activated downstream targets including SGK1, HIF-1α and VEGF-A. In depth characterization of PlGF - conditioned medium (CM) from EnSCs using mass spectrometry and ELISA methods revealed low VEGF-A and an abundance of extracellular matrix organization associated proteins. Secreted factors in PlGF-CM impeded normal angiogenic cues in endothelial cells (HUVECs) by downregulating Notch-VEGF signaling. Interestingly, PlGF-CM failed to support human placental (BeWo) cell invasion through HUVEC monolayer. Inhibition of SGK1 in EnSCs improved angiogenic effects in HUVECs and promoted BeWo invasion, revealing SGK1 as a key intermediate player modulating PlGF mediated anti-angiogenic signaling. Taken together, perturbed PlGF-NFAT5-SGK1 signaling in the endometrium can contribute to pathological uterine angiogenesis by negatively regulating EnSCs-endothelial crosstalk resulting in poor quality vessels in the uterine microenvironment. Taken together the signaling may impact on normal trophoblast invasion and thus placentation and, may be associated with an increased risk of complications such as PE.
We aim to see whether ascorbic acid and zinc gluconate which has limited side effect profile and is readily available over the counter can decrease the duration of symptoms seen in patients with new diagnosis of COVID-2019. A secondary purpose is to see whether Zinc and/or Ascorbic acid supplementation can prevent progression of the severe manifestations of the disease including development of dyspnea and acute respiratory distress syndrome which may require hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, and or lead to death.

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized study which plans to enroll 520 patients with a principal diagnosis of COVID-2019, managed in an outpatient setting, who presented after being sent by a healthcare provider to get tested and receive a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) -assay based confirmed diagnosis of the disease. All patients who agree to participate in the study will answer a baseline questionnaire about their symptoms at the time of inclusion. Patients will then be randomized to one of 4 study arms. Patients in Arm A (n=130) will receive vitamin C (to be taken divided over 2-3 times a day with meals), patients in Arm B (n=130) will receive zinc gluconate to be taken at bedtime, patients in Arm C (n=130) will receive both vitamin C (to be taken divided over 2-3 times a day with meals) and zinc gluconate (taken at bedtime). Patients in arms A, B and C will take study supplements daily for 10 days. Patients in Arm D (n=130) will not receive any of the study medications and continue on standard of care. Patients will then track their symptoms daily from day 0 to day 28 answering 12 basic questions on illness severity.They will stop filling out their daily questions once they reach reach the end of the 28 day study period or at time of hospitalization; whichever comes first . Study team members will call patients at days 7, 14, 21, and 28 of the study period to assess need for hospitalization, ER visit, or additional medications prescribed by a healthcare provider, and any side effects from the supplements that the patient could have experienced.
BACKGROUND: Pediatric urolithiasis has been increasing at rate of 4-10 % annually in the United States, most notably within adolescents and females. A significant number of patients will require surgical management of their stones. Primary ureteroscopy (URS) affords the opportunity to treat stones under a single anesthetic with lower re-treatment rates or anatomical and stone characteristic limitations compared to shockwave lithotripsy. Previous studies evaluating primary URS have been largely underpowered, are limited by stone location, and/or are not representative of the stone population in the United States.
OBJECTIVES: Primary study outcomes were the success of primary URS and patient characteristics associated with success. Secondary outcomes were the stone-free rate (SFR), 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, 30-day readmissions, and complications.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients less than 18 years of age from 2011 to 2023 who underwent primary URS. Patients were excluded if a ureteral stent was placed prior to URS or diagnostic URS was performed. A successful primary URS was considered if access to the ureter was obtained and treatment of the stone(s) completed. In failed primary URS, a ureteral stent was placed for staged management.
RESULTS: A total of 196 patients were included and primary URS was performed or attempted on 224 renal units. The median age was 15.8 (IQR 13.4-16.9) years and median follow up 8.4 (IQR 1.1-24.6) months. The success rate of primary URS was 79 %. No significant characteristics were appreciated for successful primary URS based on: overall age, <14 vs > 14 years of age, sex, body mass index, history of stones, history of endourologic procedures, preoperative alpha blockade, location of stone(s), multiple stones, type of URS, or acute treatment. In successful primary URS, the SFR was 88 % with stone size (p = 0.0001) the only predictor of having residual stones. The 30-day ED rate was 21.4 %, 30-day unplanned readmission rate was 12.5 %, and complication rate was 7.5 %. No long-term complications were appreciated.
DISCUSSION: Our success of primary URS compares favorably to previously published literature. Our SFR rate, 30-day ED visits, 30-day unplanned readmission, and complication rates are similar to other studies. Limitations of the study are its retrospective design, selection bias, and intermediate follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Primary URS can be completed safely in the majority of pediatric patients without any patient characteristics associated with success. We advocate for primary URS when possible due to the excellent SFR and potential of treating stones under a single anesthetic.
It's a double-blind randomised placebo controlled antidepressant augmentation study with 12-week treatment and 8-week follow up. Its purpose is to investigate antidepressant efficacy and safety of NAC in patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) defined as insufficient response to 1 or more antidepressants given for at least 6 weeks and in an adequate dose, displaying increased peripheral inflammatory activity and moderate to severe depression. Apart from studying the effects of NAC on depression severity, the secondary outcomes are to examine a range of biomarkers related to potentially important underlying mechanisms such as oxidative stress and inflammatory activity and to evaluate the effects on brain functioning (fMRI) and on white matter integrity (DTI). Scale assessments are performed in the week preceding initiation of treatment, during the treatment period, at the end of the treatment period and at 8-week follow up. Neuro-imaging is performed before the treatment starts and in week 12, before the study medication is terminated. Collection of blood and morning urine only takes place at three time points, in the week preceding initiation of treatment, closely before tapering off the study medication and at the end of 8-week follow up. This study is hoped to show that NAC perform positive effects on those aspects mentioned above.

Inform patients to take Nevirapine every day as prescribed. Patients should not alter the dose without consulting their doctor. If a dose is missed, patients should take the next dose as soon as possible. However, if a dose is skipped, the patient should not double the next dose. Advise patients to report to their doctor the use of any other medications. 

Inform patients that it is not known whether Nevirapine therapy reduces the risk of transmission of HIV-1 to others through sexual contact. Effective treatment combined with safer sex practices may reduce the chance of passing HIV to others through sexual contact. Patients should be advised to continue to practice safer sex and to use latex or polyurethane condoms to lower the chance of sexual contact with any body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions or blood. Patients should be advised never to re-use or share needles. 

Nevirapine is not a cure for HIV-1 infection; patients may continue to experience illnesses associated with advanced HIV-1 infection, including opportunistic infections. Advise patients to remain under the care of a physician when using Nevirapine.
BACKGROUND: Primary orthostatic tremor (OT) can affect patients' life. Treatment of OT with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) is described in a limited number of patients. The Vim and posterior subthalamic area (PSA) can be targeted in a single trajectory, allowing both stimulation of the Vim and/or dentatorubrothalamic tract (DRT). In essential tremor this is currently often used with positive effects.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of Vim/DRT-DBS in OT-patients, based on standing time and Quality of Life (QoL), also on the long-term. Furthermore, to relate stimulation of the Vim and DRT, medial lemniscus (ML) and pyramidal tract (PT) to beneficial clinical and side-effects.
METHODS: Nine severely affected OT-patients received bilateral Vim/DRT-DBS. Primary outcome measure was standing time; secondary measures included self-reported measures, neurophysiological measures, structural analyses, surgical complications, stimulation-induced side-effects, and QoL up to 56 months. Stimulation of volume of tissue activated (VTA) were related to outcome measures.
RESULTS: Average maximum standing time increased from 41.0 s ± 51.0 s to 109.3 s ± 65.0 s after 18 months, with improvements measured in seven of nine patients. VTA (n = 7) overlapped with the DRT in six patients and with the ML and/or PT in six patients. All patients experienced side-effects and QoL worsened during the first year after surgery, which improved again during long-term follow-up, although remaining below age-related normal values. Most patients reported a positive effect of DBS.
CONCLUSION: Vim/DRT-DBS improved standing time in patients with severe OT. Observed side-effects are possibly related to stimulation of the ML and PT.

Pain is one of the most common symptoms experienced by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, which subsequently debilitates patient's quality of life. Although reducing pain is crucial to successful patient care in hemodialysis population, symptoms are often undertreated.Conventional pharmacological approaches are limited in dialysis population , given their altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic profiles and increased potential for adverse reactions. Acupuncture has been known to be beneficial in various chronic pain condition. As a non-pharmacologic intervention, it might be valuable for pain management in hemodialysis patients whose analgesic use are limited due to altered pharmacokinetics. However, little is known for the benefits of acupuncture for pain management in dialysis population. This study aims to determine whether acupuncture is a feasible, effective and safe therapeutic intervention for pain management in hemodialysis patients.
Trial 1100.1518 was an open-label, multiple-dose, non-randomized, crossover trial performed in 85 HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects 3 to less than 18 years of age who had received at least 18 weeks of immediate-release nevirapine tablets and had plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL prior to trial enrollment. Subjects were stratified according to age (3 to less than 6 years, 6 to less than 12 years, and 12 to less than 18 years). Following a 10-day period with immediate-release nevirapine tablets, subjects were treated with nevirapine extended-release tablets once daily in combination with other antiretrovirals for 10 days, after which steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters were determined. Forty of the 80 subjects who completed the initial part of the study were enrolled in an optional extension phase of the trial which evaluated the safety and antiviral activity of nevirapine extended-release tablets through a minimum of 24 weeks of treatment. Zidovudine or stavudine plus lamivudine were the most commonly used background therapies in subjects who entered the optional extension phase.  
Baseline demographics included: 55% of the subjects were female, 93% were black, 7% were white, and approximately 84% were from Africa. Subjects had a median baseline CD4+ cell count of 925 cells/mm3 (range 207 to 2,057 cells/mm3).  
Of the 40 subjects who entered the treatment extension phase, 39 completed at least 24 weeks of treatment and one subject discontinued prematurely due to an adverse reaction. After 24 weeks or more of treatment with nevirapine extended-release tablets, all 39 subjects continued to have plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL. Median CD4+ cell counts for the 3 to less than 6 years, 6 to less than 12 years, and 12 to less than 18 years age groups were 1,113 cells/mm3, 853 cells/mm3, and 682 cells/mm3, respectively. These CD4+ cell counts were similar to those observed at baseline.
OBJECTIVES: Nasal polyposis (NP) is a common and recurrent condition of the sinonasal cavity which has significant impact on patients' quality of life. NP pathophysiology involves a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Several studies have explored the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles and NP, but the results have been conflicting. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the association between HLA class II alleles, specifically HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DRB1and NP risk.
METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, to identify studies investigating the association between HLA class II alleles and NP. Eligible studies were identified by specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association between HLA class II alleles and NP risk. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled OR and corresponding 95% CI, and a study required a heterogeneity assessment value I2 < 25% to be considered for analysis.
STUDY DESIGN: Meta-analysis.
RESULTS: A total of four studies were included in this meta-analysis, involving a total of 258 NP alleles and 802 control alleles. The analysis indicated that DQA1*0201 (OR = 3.08, 95% CI [1.70, 5.59]) and DRB1*7 (OR = 2.04, 95% CI [1.14, 3.66]) were significantly associated with increased risk of NP. The analysis of the NP risk alleles DQA1*0201 and DRB1*7 had an I2 < 0% representing low heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis with LFK indices showed minor asymmetry in either allele.
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis provides evidence that the HLA-DQA1*0201 and HLA-DRB1*7 alleles are risk factors for the development of NP. These findings could contribute to a better understanding of the genetic predisposition of NP and may have implications for the development of novel approaches for the prevention and treatment of this condition.
