Case Report: Avoiding misdiagnosis in amyloidosis—navigating transthyretin genopositivity and monoclonal gammopathy in a patient with advanced heart failure and spinal stenosis by Xia Wu, Denis Toskic, Denis Toskic, Ping Zhou, Stephanie Scalia, Xun Ma, Parva Bhatt, Teresa Fogaren, Monika Pilichowska, Knarik Arkun, Knarik Arkun, Jainith Patel, Ron I. Riesenburger, Daniel P. Larson, Raymond L. Comenzo, Raymond L. Comenzo

“…Magnetic resonance imaging of the total spine showed ligamentum flavum (LF) thickening at L4–5, causing severe spinal stenosis. In both the abdominal fat and the LF, liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry confirmed κ-type immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis; the quantitative estimate of amyloid content in the LF was 5%. …”

Integrated Analysis Reveals Genetic Basis of Growth Curve Parameters in an F₂ Designed Pig Population Based on Genome and Transcriptome Data by Zhaoxuan Che, Jiakun Qiao, Fangjun Xu, Xinyun Li, Yunxia Zhao, Mengjin Zhu

“…Based on genome and transcriptome data, the integrated analyses identified five putative SNPs (including INRA0056566 on chromosome X, DRGA0004151 on chromosome 3, INRA0056460 on chromosome X, H3GA0049324 on chromosome 17, and H3GA0037747 on chromosome 13) and 15 candidate genes (<i>PDGFA</i>, <i>VEGFD</i>, <i>CSPP1</i>, <i>EFHC1</i>, <i>PIK3C3</i>, <i>ZZZ3</i>, <i>GCC2</i>, <i>MAPK14</i>, <i>ZPR1</i>, <i>ISG15</i>, <i>ANG</i>, <i>CEBPD</i>, <i>ZHX3</i>, <i>CTBP2</i>, and <i>MYNN</i>). The functional analysis indicated that these candidate genes played important roles in cell division and differentiation, development and aging, and skeletal muscle and fat formation. …”

Dermatoglifia y Somatotipo en Jugadores de Voleibol del Departamento del Huila en los XX Juegos Deportivos Nacionales Colombia (Dermatoglyphia and Somatotype in Volleyball Players... by Oscar Alfredo Montenegro Arjona, Oscar Leonardo Cordoba Urriago, Angie Carolina Calderón Sterling, Cristian Javier Mendez Parra, Gian Carlos Tovar Osso

“…The research had a quantitative approach and correlational scope. 13 players participated from the men's volleyball team of the Department of Huila (age 22.2 years ± 4.4; height 183.6 m ± 9.9; mass 79.6 kg ± 11.9; body mass index [BMI] 23.6 kg/m2 ± 3.4, and fat percentage 10.09% ± 3.26). To estimate the somatotype, the protocol proposed by Carter (2002) was applied and the protocol established by Cummins and Midlo (1961) was used to determine the dermatoglyphic profile. …”

Agreement between a photogrammetry-derived five-compartment body-composition model and a three-compartment criterion among adult athletes by Kworweinski Lafontant, Claudia Gonzalez, Michelle Da Silva Barbera, Susan Kampiyil, Linh Nguyen, Sofea Smith, Jack Livingston, Jeffrey R. Stout, David H. Fukuda

“…Recent advances in photo-based body composition assessments have allowed for quick and accessible assessments of TBV, and Bennett et al. recently created a 5C model based on photo-based TBV and BIA estimates. Yet, research comparing Bennett’s 5C model to a 3C criterion among athletes is scarce.Methods We assessed body composition in 52 high intensity functional training athletes (men = 34, women = 18, age = 34.9 ± 11.2 years, BMI = 26.0 ± 3.5 kg/m2) from the greater Orlando, FL, region. …”

The triple synergy of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, magnesium, and vitamin B6: Molecular mechanisms by O. A. Gromova, A. G. Kalacheva, I. Yu. Torshin, T. R. Grishina, I. K. Tomilova

“…The main goals of this synergy are to protect neurons from damage, by combating excitotoxicity in the cells and to neutralize excess homocysteine (to reduce the risk of ischemic and thrombotic stroke, myocardial infarction, and coronary heart disease); to improve cognitive functions and neuromuscular transmission, to reduce anxiety, by activating acetylcholine, GABA, and dopamine receptors; to normalize lipid and glucose metabolism, by lowering hyperglycemia and improving the processing of fats.…”
