How would you interpret this tracing? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case.

Patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience sleep disturbance. Genetic mutations in the neuroligin 3 (NLG3) gene are highly correlative with ASD and sleep disturbance. However, the cellular and neural circuit bases of this correlation remain elusive. Here, we found that the conditional knockout of Nlg3 (Nlg3-CKO) in the medial septum (MS) impairs social memory and reduces sleep.

Obesity is a growing public health concern that affects the longevity and lifestyle of all human populations including children and older individuals. Diverse factors drive obesity, making it challenging to understand and treat. While recent studies highlight the importance of GPCR signaling for metabolism and fat accumulation, we lack a molecular description of how obesogenic signals accumulate and propagate in cells, tissues, and organs.

During antiretroviral therapy (ART), most people living with HIV-1 have undetectable HIV-1 RNA in their plasma. However, they occasionally present with new or progressive neurologic deficits and detectable HIV-1 RNA in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a condition defined as neurosymptomatic HIV-1 CSF escape (NSE). We explored the source of neuropathogenesis and HIV-1 RNA in the CSF during NSE by characterizing HIV-1 populations and inflammatory biomarkers in CSF from 25 individuals with NSE.

Therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (t-CH) is defined as clonal hematopoiesis detected in individuals previously treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. With the increased use of genetic analysis in oncological care, the detection of t-CH among cancer patients is becoming increasingly common. t-CH arises through the selective bottleneck imposed by chemotherapies and potentially through direct mutagenesis from chemotherapies, resulting in a distinct mutational landscape enriched with

Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is essential for managing heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The 2022 ACC/ AHA/HFSA guideline on the management of HF recommends using renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors with a preference for angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to improve survival, symptoms, ventricular function and quality of life.

The burden of senescent hepatocytes correlates with the severity of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but the mechanisms driving senescence and how it exacerbates MASLD are poorly understood. Hepatocytes experience lipotoxicity and become senescent when Smoothened (Smo) is deleted to disrupt Hedgehog signaling. We aimed to determine whether the secretomes of Smo-deficient hepatocytes perpetuate senescence to drive MASLD progression.

Severe viral pneumonia can induce rapid expansion of KRT5+ basal-like cells in small airways and alveoli; this forms a scar-like structure that persists in the injured alveoli and impedes normal alveolar epithelium regeneration. In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which viral infection induced this remodeling response. Through comparing different lung-injury models, we demonstrated that infection induced strong IFN-γ signal–stimulated dysplastic KRT5+ cell formation.

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny driven by somatic mutations in leukemia-associated genes, is a common phenomenon that rises in prevalence with advancing age to affect most people older than 70 years. CH remains subclinical in most carriers, but, in a minority, it progresses to a myeloid neoplasm, such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasm.
