This case report describes a 69-year-old man diagnosed with stage 3 acute kidney injury secondary to new IgG kappa light chain multiple myeloma, where treatment with bortezomib-based therapy showed potential for kidney function salvage.

In this study, prolonged ingestion of linseed in rabbits was observed to be safe, showing no significant weight gain or anatomical anomalies in liver and kidney biopsies.

Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with obesity who was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, leading to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and bradycardia. Following treatment with IV levothyroxine and liothyronine, his symptoms improved, and he achieved significant weight loss over five months.

This study found that Teucrium polium L. subsp. geyrii Maire extract demonstrated a large safety margin in acute and subacute toxicity tests on mice and significantly enhanced wound healing in rats, especially with callus extract, by improving cell proliferation and wound contraction.

This study synthesized a temperature-sensitive hydrogel with strong antibacterial capabilities against S. aureus and E. coli, demonstrated via in vitro and in vivo tests, suggesting potential for antibiotic-free clinical applications when activated by near-infrared light.

This case report describes a 32-year-old woman with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus who developed severe lupus nephritis, emphasizing that early diagnosis and aggressive immunosuppressive therapy significantly improved her condition and reduced proteinuria, underscoring the importance of prompt treatment to prevent irreversible kidney damage.

This case report documents a 31-year-old woman with bullous SLE who showed improvement with high-dose parenteral steroids and dapsone, with ongoing follow-up due to potential kidney involvement.

This article discusses the importance of interpreting laboratory data and performing physical assessments to support pharmacists in clinical decision-making and patient consultations, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that high doses of ethyl acetate extract from Tridax procumbens can have specific toxic effects in rats, including organ damage and significant changes in some serum biochemical parameters.

Hair loss may be linked to cardiovascular health problems.

This study found that four bacterial isolates from a microbiology laboratory collection demonstrated resistance to selenate, with molecular analysis showing they closely resemble different strains of Bacillus megaterium.

This study found that adding 1.5% lactic acid to mink diets during the hair growth period significantly improved production performance and maintained visceral health.

In this study, researchers highlighted that in sarcoidosis, macrophages in granulomas can produce vitamin D, potentially leading to calcium imbalances, where vitamin D supplementation may cause hypercalcemia, necessitating careful laboratory assessment before supplementation.

In this study, high doses of Lepidium sativum seeds extract were reported to cause toxicity and tissue damage in animals, suggesting the need for careful use under medical supervision.

This study synthesized nonsteroidal ligands as second-generation androgen receptor agonists and identified three compounds with significant anabolic activity and moderate to minimal androgenic activity in vivo.

This study screened synthesized pyridinecarboxamides for antitumor properties and found that many, particularly 5c and 7a, showed moderate in vitro activity against various human tumor cell lines.

This animal study found that biscuits fortified with zinc oxide nanoparticles improved growth, appetite, and hair growth in zinc-deficient rats more effectively than traditional zinc forms, without apparent toxicity.

This study found that Peperomia pellucida, a plant traditionally consumed in some countries, contains various antioxidants and extends lifespan under oxidative stress in Drosophila, with no observed toxicity in mice, supporting its potential safety and use in foods and pharmaceuticals.

A woman's use of minoxidil for hair loss caused fluid buildup in her chest, which went away when she stopped using the product.
