[earhartsease]

we just went down a weird rabbit hole learning more about the strange mediaeval one-stringed instrument called the tromba marina, but also known as the nun's violin (nonnengeige - seeing that for the first time made us finally look up the instrument)

it looked like a very long, tapered, square (or other multisided) cone with one string on it (and sometimes sympathetic strings, which vibrate when you play the main one) that you play with a bow

the cited origins of the name are interesting - tromba marina for two reasons: firstly because the resonance of the instrument makes it sound like a trumpet, and second because it looks like a "sea trumpet" (what the name means) i.e. a sort of ship's megaphone

we now suspect a possible third reason, which is that in italian, tromba marina is the name for sea spouts (waterborne tornados) and the instrument looks a bit like one of those but upside down (or is the italian name because sea spouts look like the megaphone?)

anyway that would have been enough for us except the wiki article had a link to "sea trumpet" and we couldn't resist, and that link redirects to Megaphone, and that page starts out with disambiguations, one of which is for and we kid you not Megaphone (molecule)

and the megaphone molecule? sadly it's not so named because it looks like a megaphone - it's called that because, the article blithely says

Megaphone is a cytotoxic neolignan obtained from Aniba megaphylla, a flowering plant of Laurel family which gave the compound its name

and no that's not good enough - megaphylla just means "it's got big leaves" and you can't just leave us hanging and say the megaphone molecule gets its name (which means "big noise") from that?! wtf, wikipedia, wtf chemists

oh and here are those instruments, and here's what they sound like (yes trumpety)

oh and nuns used to play them

Acute kidney injury following exposure to a formaldehyde –free hair straightening products by Dr. Nabil Abu-Amer in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

ABSTRACT

Formaldehyde- free hair straightening products are hair smoothening solutions widely used by professional beauty salons. Formaldehyde-free hair straighteners do not technically contain formaldehyde, however they contain other chemicals such as glyoxyloyl carbocysteine which releases formaldehyde upon contact with heat. Moreover, its by-product glyoxylate may convert to oxalate, both compounds have potential nephrotoxic effect.

Case presentation: 41-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with weakness, nausea , vomiting and  stage three acute kidney injury according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes acute kidney injury staging (KDIGO) shortly after exposure to formaldehyde - free hair straightening product, other causes of acute kidney injury were excluded such as preceding acute illness, drug history or others nephrotoxic agent exposure On physical examination the patient was pale, her vital signs were normal. The urine microscopy and serologic workup was not indicative. Kidney core biopsy reveal interstitial edema, acute interstitial nephritis and oxalate crystal nephropathy. Kidney function completely recovered after a short course of steroid therapy.

Conclusions: We present a case of severe kidney injury after exposure to hair straightening products branded as formaldehyde free but actually contain other chemicals products which release formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals when heated during the straightening procedure and  may cause systemic toxicity, particularly kidney injury. Different cosmetic products are widely in use, not all are under a tight regulation, and therefore it is important to raise the awareness of both medical teams and consumers of possible adverse health effects of different cosmetic products.

INTRODUCTION

Nephrotoxicity is defined as kidney injury due to toxic effects of chemicals. There are various forms of chemicals and drugs that may affect renal function in various mechanism including acute tubular necrosis (ATN), tubulopathy and electrolyte imbalance, acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), glomerular damage, crystal nephropathy, and thrombotic microangiopathy [1-3].

Formaldehyde- free hair straightening products contain potentially toxic chemicals other than formaldehyde. One potential such substance is glyoxyloyl carbocysteine, which is composed of glyoxylic acid, cysteine and acetic acid. Glyoxylic acid both releases formaldehyde when heated and is converted into either glycine by AGT1 (alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1) or oxalate by glycolate oxidase in the human cell peroxisomes [4].

Formaldehyde is a colorless aldehyde poisonous gas at room temperature [5]. It is usually mixed with water and when the small fraction of soluble formaldehyde reacts with water, it quickly forms methylene glycol. For every molecule of free formaldehyde, 1,820 molecules of methylene glycol are formed [6]. Methylene glycol reverts back to free formaldehyde almost immediately upon contact with air or skin. Formaldehyde is thus absorbed through skin, eyes, and inhalation, and is eliminated through the urine [7-8]. During the hair straightening process, high levels of formaldehyde are found in samples of air taken from beauty salons [9] and in specimens of hairstylist workers skin [10-11].

In the kidney, formaldehyde has been reported to cause direct cytotoxic effect resulting in acute toxic tubular necrosis [12-13], and may also cause an immune system response leading to acute interstitial nephritis.

Another potential nephrotoxic component of hair straightening products is oxalate, which is an end product of glyoxylic acid.  Increased levels of oxalate promote calcium oxalate precipitation in various tissues including the kidneys, resulting in toxic injury.

Case presentation

A 41-year-old woman with a history of hypothyroidism and sleeve gastrectomy five years ago, presented to the emergency department with profound weakness, nausea and vomiting. Her symptoms began three days earlier, immediately after using a professional hair straightening formaldehyde- free product in a professional beauty salon.

On physical examination the patient was pale, her vital signs were normal, heart rate  was 66 bpm, blood pressure was 125/70 mmHg, she had no fever or respiratory distress and appeared euvolemic.

Laboratory investigations revealed a serum creatinine of 3.46 mg/dl (one year prior to the event Cr. value was 0.6 mg/dl), urea 77 mg/dl, and electrolytes, liver function tests, Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and complete blood count were normal. Blood venous gases revealed: pH 7.375, HCO3 21 mmol/L and base excess 3 mmol. The anion gap and serum osmolar gap were normal. Urinalysis demonstrated leukocyturia +1 without hematuria or proteinuria.

During hospitalization urine output was normal, repeat urinalysis demonstrated leukocyturia +1 without hematuria or proteinuria, and Bence-Jones protein was negative. Urine microscopy demonstrated epithelial cells with few white blood cells without any casts or crystals. Renal ultrasound showed 14.4 cm bilateral echogenic, edematous renal parenchyma (shown in  Fig. 1).

A full serologic workup including hepatitis B and C, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, antinuclear antibody (ANA) , Anti-double stranded DNA, Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), Anti-Phospolipid antibody (APLA) was normal except for a complement C3 level of 80 mg/dl (normal range 90-110 mg/dl).

On the 4th hospitalization day a renal core biopsy was performed. The histologic examination (shown in Fig. 2) was correlatd with  acute tubular necrosis, tubulo- intersitial nephritis and oxalate crystals . With the diagnosis of interstitial nephritis, the patient was started on prednisolone 1 mg/kg, one week later serum creatinine decreased to a level of 0.98 mg/dl.

A: Glomeruli were normo-cellular and without signs of active glomerular disease (arrow heads), tubules showed signs of diffuse tubular injury (black arrow) and tubules contained oxalate crystals (blue arrow). B:The interstitium showed edema associated with multifocal mixed inflammatory infiltration with multiple eosinophils and foci of tubulitis. C:There was one epithelioid granuloma. D:Tubules contained oxalate crystals (blue arrow) observed under polarized light-microscopy. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed C3 1+ in blood vessel walls only.

Discussion

This patient presents an unusual case of kidney toxic and inflammatory injury accompanied with oxalate deposition secondary to hair straightening product. In a literature review, only few cases [14-15] of acute kidney injury (AKI) following hair straightening formaldehyde- free product exposure were reported. All cases were reported after 2019. The spectrum of kidney injury following hair straightening ranges from mild to severe kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. The histopathologic changes reported mainly depicted severe acute tubular necrosis and acute interstitial nephritis.

Our patient presented with stage 3 AKI following hair straightening formaldehyde - free product exposure. Other causes of AKI were excluded such as preceding acute illness, drug history or other nephrotoxic agent exposure. Laboratory workup revealed leukocyturia +1, and ultrasonography was significant for enlarged edematous echogenic renal parenchyma. Kidney biopsy demonstrated acute interstitial nephritis, oxalate crystal precipitation and acute tubular necrosis. We speculate that the clinical presentation and the histopathologic changes directly resulted from exposure to the hair straightening formaldehyde- free product.

In reviewing the ingredients of the specific product used in this case, it included glyoxyloyl carbocysteine, glyoxyloyl keratin amino acid, propylene glycol glycerin, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin disodium and other collagen, surfactant and fragrance components. We did not find evidence in the medical, pharmacological and chemical literature that any of these substances causes acute kidney injury other than glyoxyloyl carbocysteine.

Many hair straightening products are labeled as formaldehyde "free" but actually contain chemicals such as glyoxyloyl carbocysteine or methylene glycol which release formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals when heated, e.g the carbocysteine hair treatment represents the combination of glyoxylic acid + cisteine + acetic acid. Glyoxylic acid contains an aldehyde functional group, glyoxylic acid behaves as an aldehyde by  heating during the hair straightening process thus releasing high levels of formaldehyde gas exceeding the capacity of exposure[16]. On top of that, glyoxylic acid absorbed through the scalp may had converted to oxalic acid [17] which may precipitate in kidney tissue. It is possible that other components such as propylene glycol may cause osmotic renal injury. In this case, serum osmotic gap was not available since it calculated four days after exposure.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a case of severe kidney injury after exposure to hair straightening products branded as formaldehyde free is presented. This case highlights the sensitivity of the kidney to various environmental and commercial products, some of which have not been fully characterized or identified yet.

It is important to raise the awareness of both medical teams and consumers, of possible adverse health effects of different cosmetic products, including acute kidney injury, and perhaps promote tighter regulation of such products.

Time and Space

Originating in the cells lining the pancreatic ducts, small tubes transporting digestive juices, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common form of pancreatic cancer, and highly aggressive. Clues for tackling it may lie within the tumour microenvironment, compounds and tissues surrounding cancerous cells, and especially nearby immune cells. Mapping the microenvironment of tumours removed from PDAC patients reveals correlations between the spatial arrangement of different immune cell types and survival. In patients who died earlier than median life expectancy post-diagnosis, immune cells called IL-10+ myelomonocytes (pictured in green, alongside pancreatic cancer cells in red) tended to cluster near cytotoxic T lymphocytes, potentially dampening their anti-cancer activity, while greater survival was associated with finding myelomonocytes closer to other immune cells, known as activated helper T cells. Hinting at complex interactions between PDAC and the immune system, these findings could enable more accurate prognoses for PDAC patients, and inspire future treatments.

Advancements in Gynecological Cancers Therapeutics Market: Trends, Growth Drivers, and Future Outlook - UnivDatos

Gynecological cancers begin in a woman’s reproductive organs, namely cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. This segment dominated the market because of the increased prevalence of gynecological cancers among people worldwide. According to a study conducted in December 2022, in sub-Saharan Africa, gynecological cancers account for approximately one-third of all female cancers. Many new therapies are being introduced for treating these cancers including a combination of treatments, immunotherapy, and many more.

Combination of Treatments:

According to the results of a recent clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2023, endometrial cancer patients who were administered pembrolizumab- an immunotherapy drug along with chemotherapy had longer progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy alone. As per the study, for patients with stage IV or measurable disease or recurrent endometrial cancer, the addition of immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab potentially improved the chance of progression-free survival. This study received funding from Merck through a cooperative research and developmental agreement with the National Cancer Institute, which also provided the study with grants U10CA180868 and U10CA180822.

Astonishing Benefits of Curcumin:

According to a medical review paper published in Pharmacy Times, St. John’s University in March 2023, discussed the benefits of spice curcumin in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Curcumin is a golden, natural compound derived from turmeric, a plant in the ginger family that has the capacity to manage inflammatory conditions and also acts as an analgesic and antioxidant. Curcumin, a phytochemical when combined with chemotherapy, was supposed to enhance the synergistic effect of cancer cells to drug therapy, enhancing drug cytotoxicity while reversing multiple drug resistance and reducing these adverse drug effects related to conventional methods of chemotherapy. The compound has gained attention in Western medicine as a potential tumor suppressant, it has already been used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine for centuries. The National Institutes of Health mentioned that curcumin-containing products’ early-phase clinical trials gave promising results when used in combination with treatments for other forms of cancers like colon, oral, and liver cancers. Many existing studies of ovarian cancer cells and cancer in animals have found that curcumin helped suppress tumor cell progression.

Devastating Mutations:

The study published in Molecular Cancer Research in August 2023 supported by the Department of Defense and National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute, and Huntsman Cancer Foundation, mentioned that the estrogen receptor mutations found in endometrial cancers were discovered to cause large changes in endometrial cancer cells making them more aggressive and fast-growing. These mutations caused significant changes in gene expression and cellular behavior. They discovered that inhibitors of a protein that works with estrogen receptors -CDK9 were effective at reducing the aggressiveness and progression of endometrial cancer cells. The study signifies that the molecular evaluation of tumors could lead to more personalized treatment options for endometrial cancer patients.

Sakura Shinguji Attempts Murder and Goes to Prison

Chapter 1

Sakura had always considered herself a bad bitch, but none of her colleagues in the Imperial Flower Assault Division took her seriously. She decided that today, things would change.

Sakura: “Tachibana! Get your head out of your ass and listen up!”

Mariya: “…for the love of god why has that woman still not been fi-“

Sakura: “Because I carry this entire military organization on my delicate, breedable shoulders”

Mariya: “Breedable? Ugh, whatever, what do you want?”

Sakura: “What’s the baddest thing you can come up with?”

Mariya: “I don’t know, like, murder?”

Sakura: “On it.”

Mariya: “No wait- “

Sakura: “Too late.”

Sakura ran to the armory and started emptying the cupboards onto the floor. Guns, bullet belts, mech parts, all danced in the wind of her passion like a twirling blizzard of ill-intent, graciously flummoxing the beta cucks passing by. One of them hesitated, stopped, and asked, “Ms. Shinguji, wha-”

Sakura: “Did I give you permission to talk, Ichiro? And no, you can’t have my birth control pills, buy your own estrogen.”

Ichiro: “That wasn’t what- I’m just gonna go.”

Sakura: “You do that.”

Finally, Sakura found what she had been looking for. An unethical amount of bis(2-cloroethyl)sulfide and several other cytotoxic compounds. Giggling with glee like a crazed clown hopped on helium, she dashed through the door.

While miandering through the streets, she pondered to herself. “Now that I have the goods, who do I use them on? Ever since Sumire Kanzaki from the hit video game series Sakura Wars, now available on PS5, told me about misandry, I’ve been dying to commit violence against males. But the only male I know is Ichiro, and even I can’t target a femboy...” Then it hit her, a bird shit from above. She wiped it off but ended up just smudging it all over her hair. Then she finally realized: she should have worn a hat. But also, she knew who she should target.

Who’s the worst patriarch out there, if not god? Emboldenedly, she yelled “women’s rights” and lobbed a large vial of bis(2-cloroethyl)sulfide into the skies. She missed, but god’s feelings were hurt regardless. Just as Sakura was preparing another vial, she heard a yell behind her.

Police: “arem you LITTERING???? uou go to PRISON, now!!!”

Sakura: “Shit, a dirty pig cop!”

Exploring American Elderberry Compounds for Antioxidant, Antiviral, and Antibacterial Properties Through High-Throughput Screening Assays Combined with Untargeted Metabolomics

American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis) is a rapidly emerging new perennial crop for Missouri, recognized for its high level of bioactive compounds with significant health benefits, including antimicrobial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. A high-throughput screening assay combined with untargeted metabolomics analysis was utilized on American elderberry juice from 21 genotypes to explore and characterize these bioactive compounds. Our metabolomics study has identified 32 putative bioactive compounds in the American Elderberry juices. An array of high-throughput screening bioassays evaluated 1) total antioxidant capacity, 2) activation of antioxidant response elements (ARE), 3) antiviral activity, and 4) antibacterial activity of the putatively identified compounds. Our results revealed that 14 of the 32 American elderberry compounds exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Four compounds (isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and naringenin) activated ARE activity and were found to be non-cytotoxic to cells. Notably, six of the 32 compounds demonstrated significant antiviral activity in an in vitro TZM-bl assay against two strains of HIV-1 virus, CXCR4-dependent NL4-3 virus and CCR5-dependent BaL virus. Luteolin showed the most potent anti-HIV activity in an in vitro TZM-bl assay against the NL4-3 virus (IC50 = 1.49 microM), followed by isorhamnetin (IC50 = 1.67 microM). The most potent anti-HIV compound against the BaL virus was myricetin (IC50 = 1.14 microM), followed by luteolin (IC50 = 4.38 microM). Additionally, six compounds were found to have antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria S. aureus, with cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside having the most potent antibacterial activity in vitro (IC50 = 2.9 microM), followed by cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (IC50 = 3.7 microM). These findings support and validate the potential health benefits of compounds found in American elderberry juices, and highlight their potential for use in dietary supplements as well as innovative applications in health and medicine. http://dlvr.it/TDFrpc
