Fibrinogen: A Circulating Factor in Search for Its Genetic Architecture.
Abstract Fibrinogen (Coagulation factor I) is a major player in thrombus formation; it is cleaved by thrombin to form fibrin, which is the most abundant component of a blood clot(1). Beyond the role played in the coagulation and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), fibrinogen is a proinflammatory factor in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitides, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and kidney disorders and post-transplant-fibrosis)(2) as well as in several types of cancer(3). Fibrinogen has been demonstrated to interfere with the...

Blood biomarkers of kidney transplant rejection, an endless search?
Authors: Jacquemont L, Soulillou JP, Degauque N Abstract INTRODUCTION: The tailoring of immunosuppressive treatment is recognized as a promising strategy to improve long-term kidney graft outcome. To guide the standard care of transplant recipients, physicians need objective biomarkers that can identify an ongoing pathology with the graft or low intensity signals that will be later evolved to accelerated transplant rejection. The early identification of "high-risk /low-risk" patients enables the adjustment of standard of caring, including managing the frequency of clinical visits and the immunosuppression dosing. G...

Renal Cortical Infarction Following Treatment With Sumatriptan in a Kidney Allograft Recipient
We report the case of a 78-year-old female kidney transplant recipient who developed a migraine headache, took sumatriptan, and soon after developed pain over the allograft and oligoanuric acute kidney injury. Kidney allograft biopsy showed renal cortical infarction. The mechanism of action of sumatriptan involves vasoconstriction, which counters the vasodilatation that is central to the pathogenesis of migraines. This case raises important questions regarding the safety of triptans with calcineurin inhibitors (which also act to vasoconstrict), particularly in elderly patients.

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...

North Texas Fracking Zone Sees Growing Health Worries
This story was published by The Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news organization in Washington, D.C. DALLAS—Propped up on a hospital bed, Taylor Ishee listened as his mother shared a conviction that choked her up. His rare cancer had a cause, she believes, and it wasn’t genetics. Others in Texas have drawn the same conclusions about their confounding illnesses. Jana DeGrand, who suffered a heart attack and needed both her gallbladder and her appendix removed. Rebecca Williams, fighting off unexplained rashes, sharp headaches and repeated bouts of pneumonia. Maile Bush, who needed ...

Recurrent Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis After Kidney Transplantation in African Americans: Review of the Current Evidence
CONCLUSIONS: Search 1 yielded 4 articles, search 2 yielded 44 articles, search 3 yielded 6 articles, and search 4 yielded 8 articles. African Americans were shown to be disproportionately predisposed to endstage kidney disease, traceable to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (the most common cause of glomerulonephritis leading to end-stage kidney disease). Apolipoprotein L1 presence in 22% of African Americans explained the odds ratio of 17 in developing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and 8 times lifetime risk of end-stage kidney disease. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis recurred in 30% of kidney transplant recipient...
