  3. Article ; Online: The role of methionine synthases in fungal metabolism and virulence.

    Scott, Jennifer / Amich, Jorge

    Abstract: Methionine synthases (MetH) catalyse the methylation of homocysteine (Hcy) with 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5, methyl-THF) acting as methyl donor, to form methionine (Met) and tetrahydrofolate (THF). This function is performed by two unrelated classes of ... ...

    Abstract Methionine synthases (MetH) catalyse the methylation of homocysteine (Hcy) with 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5, methyl-THF) acting as methyl donor, to form methionine (Met) and tetrahydrofolate (THF). This function is performed by two unrelated classes of enzymes that differ significantly in both their structures and mechanisms of action. The genomes of plants and many fungi exclusively encode cobalamin-independent enzymes (EC.2.1.1.14), while some fungi also possess proteins from the cobalamin-dependent (EC.2.1.1.13) family utilised by humans. Methionine synthase's function connects the methionine and folate cycles, making it a crucial node in primary metabolism, with impacts on important cellular processes such as anabolism, growth and synthesis of proteins, polyamines, nucleotides and lipids. As a result, MetHs are vital for the viability or virulence of numerous prominent human and plant pathogenic fungi and have been proposed as promising broad-spectrum antifungal drug targets. This review provides a summary of the relevance of methionine synthases to fungal metabolism, their potential as antifungal drug targets and insights into the structures of both classes of MetH.

    Abstract Acne is a common skin condition in adolescent patients but much less common in childhood. Pediatric providers should be familiar with the varying presentations in the pediatric population and recognize when additional physical signs of hyperandrogenism are present. This article details the pathogenesis and presentation of acne in infancy, mid-childhood, and preadolescence. The differential diagnosis is discussed and recommendations for initial workup, referral, and treatment are provided.

    Abstract Background: There is a lack of substance use disorder (SUD) providers in the micropolitan Midwestern state. Individuals who live in rural areas with SUD may have a gap in treatment for their addiction.
    Objective: The objective of this quality improvement project was to increase the engagement, participation, and awareness of rural primary care providers in treatment of individuals with SUD.
    Methods: This is a quality improvement project that utilized a skip-logic standardized survey to evaluate participants who attended Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Addiction educational sessions.
    Results: Findings included 176 participants over 14 sessions, while reaching primary care providers in 62 clinics over a 7-month period. However, it was found that only half of those participants completed the survey. A variety of topics surrounding SUD were offered. In addition, each session included a case study with feedback provided by the team. Seventy participants (79%) rated "strongly agree" and "agree" to "I will make changes to my practice." Participants provided feedback as to how they would change their practice after an educational session; responses included adapting how naltrexone is prescribed based on the recommendations made during the presentation, update treatment guidelines, screen for adverse childhood experiences, utilize motivational interviewing, feeling more confident in providing medication-assisted treatment for patients, and finally, better able to manage pain in those with SUD.
    Conclusion: Project ECHO Addiction is an evidence-based translational quality improvement project that reaches rural primary care providers to help increase awareness, engagement, and networking in treatment of patients with SUD, which in turn improves patient outcomes as they receive treatment in a timely fashion.

    Abstract Increased mortality rates and decreased life expectancy in the United States are associated with rurality, even after adjusting for poverty. In unincorporated rural communities, high population density may compound the negative health impact of the upstream factors associated with rurality, yet little is known about how this context contributes to residents' health. We conducted nine focus groups with youth and adults from March-July 2017 in two Texas unincorporated rural communities. Using ecosocial theory and applied thematic analysis for focus groups, we investigated social, political, and historical factors that affect health. We identified two primary themes: upstream barriers to community health and K-12 schools as facilitators of community health. K-12 schools, and full-service community schools, in particular, may have an important role in closing the rural-urban health gap, even in the context of structural constraints associated with unincorporated rural status.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To describe new and emerging therapies for pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD).
    Recent findings: Recent investigations have highlighted the importance of type 2 immunity and interrelationships among the skin immune system, epidermal barrier, and microbiome in the pathogenesis of AD, including in infants and children. These discoveries have translated into more targeted therapy. Crisaborole ointment, a topical phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, and dupilumab, a subcutaneously injected interleukin (IL)-4 receptor inhibitor, are now Food and Drug Administration-approved. Topical agents under investigation for use in the pediatric population include Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, PDE4 inhibitors, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, an antimicrobial peptide, and commensal skin bacteria. Emerging systemic agents for pediatric AD include biologics targeting IL-13, the IL-31 receptor, and the IL-5 receptor, as well as oral JAK inhibitors.
    Summary: Increased understanding of AD pathogenesis has resulted in the development of new, more targeted therapies that show promising safety and efficacy results in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials, although long-term safety remains to be evaluated. AD is a heterogeneous disease and having choices of therapies with different mechanisms of action will allow a broader group of children and adolescents with moderate-to-severe disease to achieve disease control.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted delivery of health care services worldwide. We examined the impact of the pandemic on clinics participating in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Clinical Resource Hub (CRH) program, rolled out nationally in October 2019, to improve access to care at under-resourced VA clinics or "spoke" sites through telehealth services delivered by regional "hub" sites.
    Objective: To assess whether the CRH program was associated with increased access to primary care, we compared use of primary, emergency, and inpatient care at sites that adopted CRH for primary care (CRH-PC) with sites that did not adopt CRH-PC, pre-post pandemic onset.
    Design: Difference-in-difference and event study analyses, adjusting for site characteristics.
    Study cohort: A total of 1050 sites (254 CRH-PC sites; 796 comparison sites), fiscal years (FY) 2019-2021.
    Intervention: CRH Program for Primary Care.
    Main measures: Quarterly number of VA visits per site for primary care (across all and by modality, in-person, video, and phone), emergency care, and inpatient care.
    Results: In adjusted analyses, CRH-PC sites, compared with non-CRH-PC sites, had on average 221 additional primary care visits (a volume increase of 3.4% compared to pre-pandemic). By modality, CRH-PC sites had 643 fewer in-person visits post-pandemic (- 14.4%) but 723 and 128 more phone and video visits (+ 39.9% and + 159.5%), respectively. CRH-PC sites, compared with non-CRH-PC sites, had fewer VA ED visits (- 4.2%) and hospital stays (- 5.1%) in VA medical centers. Examining visits per patient, we found that CRH-PC sites had 48 additional telephone primary care visits per 1000 primary care patients (an increase of 9.8%), compared to non-program sites.
    Conclusions: VA's pre-pandemic rollout of a new primary care telehealth program intended to improve access facilitated primary care visits during the pandemic, a period fraught with care disruptions, and limited in-person health care delivery, indicating the potential for the program to offer health system resilience.
