    Abstract Turmeric is a herbal medication and spice which has been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern medicine for its flavour, colour, and purported anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antineoplastic and antimicrobial properties. It has recently garnered interest and popularity worldwide for these reasons. While turmeric supplements are generally safe, some reports of toxicity are emerging. Compounds like piperine are added to turmeric to enhance its bioavailability, potentially contributing to its toxicity. Here, we describe a 55-year-old woman with progressive jaundice and elevated bilirubin and liver enzymes but no evidence of acute liver failure. She was treated with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) for 24 hours and liver function tests (LFTs) were closely monitored. As a downtrend in LFTs was noted and the patient remained asymptomatic, she was discharged with close outpatient follow-up. LFTs eventually normalized 2 months after the initial presentation. Clinicians must keep this differential in mind when evaluating acute liver injury. With our case report, we question the utility of NAC in non-acetaminophen-related liver injury and encourage further studies.
    Learning points: Eliciting information on recent drug or supplement use should be part of comprehensive history-taking to evaluate acute liver injury.Turmeric supplements which may contain piperine to enhance bioavailability are a potential source of acute liver injury.The role of N-acetyl cysteine in managing non-acetaminophen-related liver injury is unclear and further studies are required.

    Abstract Aspiration or ingestion of foreign bodies by children is a common problem globally. Corpus alienum or foreign bodies, embedded in the palate or other areas of the oral cavity, are unusual findings that can occasionally be muddled with other oral lesions. Studies reveal that the majority of cases occur in children, wherein 50% of the children lack a proper history. Since infants or very young children fail to provide proper history and are extremely scared of repeated oral examination clinical diagnosis is all the more difficult. The risks of respiratory obstruction, mucosal tear, nasopharyngeal inflammation, and gastrointestinal bleeding make these non-invasive foreign bodies potentially fatal.

    Abstract Irinotecan is a first-line treatment for colorectal cancer and the prodrug of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38). However, its fatal gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity raises serious concern. In liver, irinotecan generates its inactive metabolite, SN-38G via UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1. Subsequently, SN-38G is excreted into GI tract where it is reactivated by microbiome to yield the toxic metabolite, SN-38. Activation of toll-like receptor (TLR)/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) by bacterial endotoxin decreases drug-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, we treated C57BL6/J mice with 50 mg/kg irinotecan once daily until observing grade 4 diarrhea. Mice were sacrificed on day0, day2 and day8. Based on the finding in C57BL6/J mice, we repeated the treatment in Tlr2

    Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are critical to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). Mitochondrial dysfunction in PD entails inhibition of the mitochondrial complex I (CI) in the dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra. The events contributing to CI inhibition and downstream pathways are not completely elucidated. We conducted proteomic analysis in a dopaminergic neuronal cell line exposed individually to neurotoxic CI inhibitors: rotenone (Rot), paraquat (Pq) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP

    Abstract Objective: Although chronic discrimination negatively impacts sleep, the cross-sectional nature of most research limits the understanding of how changes in discrimination over time are associated with sleep health. Therefore, the aims of this study were to explore the: (1) longitudinal association between daily discrimination and subjective and objective sleep; (2) mediating roles of anxiety and social well-being; and (3) moderating role of change in discrimination over time.
    Methods: An archival analysis was completed using data from the Midlife in the United States study across 3 timepoints. Participants were primarily female-identifying, white, and college-educated. Measures included Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (N = 958), sleep diaries (N = 307), and actigraphy (N = 304). Daily discrimination, the Social Well-Being Scale, and the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire were also administered. Moderated parallel mediations were performed using the PROCESS macro controlling for depressive symptoms.
    Results: More discrimination at time 1 was associated with worse global sleep quality (b = 0.10 and p = .001) and daily sleep quality (b = 0.03 and p = .02) and worse objective sleep-onset latency (b = 0.93 and p = .02), wake after sleep onset (b = 1.09 and p = .002), and sleep efficiency (b = -0.52 and p < .001) at time 3. Social well-being mediated the associations between discrimination and subjective global sleep quality 95% CI [0.00, 0.03] and daily sleep quality 95% CI [0.00, 0.01] and objective TST 95% CI [0.00, 0.96] when discrimination was increasing or chronic. Anxiety mediated the discrimination-global sleep quality association regardless of changes in discrimination.
    Conclusions: Discrimination showed durable associations with a broad array of sleep outcomes across a 10-year period. Anxiety and social well-being linked discrimination to subjective sleep outcomes, illustrating the importance of psychosocial well-being for sleep health in those experiencing discrimination.

    Abstract As the neuroimaging field moves towards detecting smaller effects at higher spatial resolutions, and faster sampling rates, there is increased attention given to the deleterious contribution of unstructured, thermal noise. Here, we critically evaluate the performance of a recently developed reconstruction method, termed NORDIC, for suppressing thermal noise using datasets acquired with various field strengths, voxel sizes, sampling rates, and task designs. Following minimal preprocessing, statistical activation (t-values) of NORDIC processed data was compared to the results obtained with alternative denoising methods. Additionally, we examined the consistency of the estimates of task responses at the single-voxel, single run level, using a finite impulse response (FIR) model. To examine the potential impact on effective image resolution, the overall smoothness of the data processed with different methods was estimated. Finally, to determine if NORDIC alters or removes temporal information important for modeling responses, we employed an exhaustive leave-p-out cross validation approach, using FIR task responses to predict held out timeseries, quantified using R

    Abstract Sleep health, operationalized as a multidimensional construct consisting of sleep regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration, is an emerging concept in the field of sleep medicine which warrants further investigation. The purpose of the present study was to: (1) compare sleep health across the lifespan, (2) determine lifestyle factors associated with sleep health, and (3) examine whether lifestyle factors associated with sleep health varied between and within age groups. Participants consisted of 3284 individuals (Mean age = 42.70; 45% male) who participated in a cross-sectional online survey of sleep and health. Sleep health was measured using the RU-SATED scale, while demographic and lifestyle factors (e.g., daily social media use, sedentary activity, fast food consumption, etc.) were all self-reported. Sleep health was the highest among older adults (
