Objectives: #Cough is an underrecognized and atypical manifestation of giant cell #arteritis (GCA), which may lead to diagnostic delay. Literature on cough in GCA is limited and lacks comprehensive data on clinical relevance. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of cough at diagnosis in GCA patients and to compare clinical characteristics… Continue reading Cough as a clinical manifestation of giant cell arteritis

Sigma non-opioid receptor 1 is a potential therapeutic target for long QT syndrome
Some missense gain-of-function mutations in the CACNA1C gene, encoding calcium channel CaV1.2, cause a life-threatening form of long QT syndrome (LQTS) named Timothy syndrome with currently no clinically effective therapeutics. Here we report that pharmacological targeting of sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1 (SIGMAR1) can restore electrophysiological function in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes generated… Continue reading Sigma non-opioid receptor 1 is a potential therapeutic target for long QT syndrome
